This occasional newsletter highlights events and stories about innovation in sustainable development for rural, remote and island regions. We want to change the discourse to demonstrate how islandness can be a driver for innovation.
About Alex Kubasu
Circular Economy Initiative Lead @WWF-Kenya. I am currently managing 3 projects in Coastal Kenya whose interconnected goals are to improve the plastic recycling value chain, ensure plastic material remains in the economy and not wreak havoc in the environment while creating decent jobs by working with government, private sector and community members.
I am trained Scientist, a Development Communication practitioner, a former journalist with Citizen TV and a current board member of Health and Environment Research Institute (HERI).

‘Waste is a resource in the wrong place. I believe in human ingenuity; it got us in this crisis. We have the brains and technology to help us imagine and achieve a circular world without waste.’
