On this month’s episode of Wave Makers, host, Tamara Kahn, dips into the fun topic of toys!  This one is a meaningful conversation with a down-to-earth change maker Malte Niebelschuetz.  When Malte quit his corporate job in Germany and moved to San Diego, he was shocked to see how big an issue there is with plastic on the beaches. And yet, he noted, plenty of plastic continues to be used everywhere. Inspired by others working to reduce plastics in the ocean, Malte set out to repurpose this waste in a fun and educational way. Shore Buddies works “to bring Sustainability into Play, to keep Plastics out of the Oceans.”  Listen to hear how Malte got started and how toys and education can help save marine life and support others with similar missions.
