Summary: Erik is one of the co-founders of VOPO (latin for "voice of the people") and they are doing some amazing things. Erik and I chat about growing up in Venezuela and moving to Australia. He shares his love of conservation and how he figured the best way to help with the flow of plastic into our oceans is to shut the tap off. Vopo works with NGO's putting waste management systems in these remote villages that otherwise don't have the infrastructure. Erik is sincere in his passion and he shares about some of the relationships that have been fostered through his efforts with Vopo. Visit vopo.earth for more information.
