Talking Rubbish With Garbologie

I've had a new idea.

Garbologie will create a series of short video interviews with people changing the world in waste. People who are creating a world without waste. Just a few minutes long, teasing out their key initiatives. A working title is "Let's Garbologise". Or "Talking Rubbish".

The idea is that these interviews will be with both the usual suspects, but also the people who are currently flying beneath the radar. The unknown. Especially the people who are unknown, the people with a dream that they are acting on.

It won't be about currying favour with the people who should be creating a world without waste, the people who have the power, the resources, the authority to make a difference and yet with all of that behind them, do the minimum to keep their jobs.

The point is to create an ecosystem of learning. It is to promote a network where each builds off the other. To form creation spaces. To quote +John Kellden "In a network, the best place to store knowledge is in other people."

By shedding more and more light in the darker parts of the network, those darker corners can grow, the network can flourish, and we can scaffold into the world we are all working towards in our own way. A world without waste.

I plan to be doing some interviews over the next month, leading into a planned frenetic series of interviews during the 6th Annual Making Cities Liveable Conference in Melbourne from the 17th to 19th of June. I'll be flying over to present at the conference (paper title: "To create a world without waste"), and will conduct more interviews then.

If you know of anybody worth interviewing, please get in touch and let me know. My contact details are on the About page.
