Tom Wright & Jessica Dupont: Environmental Transformation Through Community Action - From Plastic Recycling to Lionfish Management in Panama
Jessica Dupont interviews Tom Wright, founder of Wasteless World, about his journey building environmental initiatives in Panama. Tom explains how his organization evolved from a website on waste management solutions to a foundation running multiple community projects, including the Bye Bye Lionfish initiative. The conversation explores their sustainable business models that convert invasive lionfish into jewelry and food products, providing income for indigenous fishermen while addressing ecological threats. Despite challenges, including a factory fire in 2022, Wasteless World continues developing market-based solutions that align economic opportunities with environmental restoration in coastal communities.
