NOW - Re-use, Recycle, Upcycle
Guest: Matouš Pinkava, CEO of nevyhazujto.cz, reuseto.cz & goodooga.cz
The Czech Republic is focused on sustainability and Prague is very much onboard with that. Many initiatives and projects are happening or are in the works, and the future for the city looks pretty green. I talk with Matouš Pinkava, who heads a few such projects in town, about recycling, upcycling, re-use, wishcycling, downcycling and more.
