Living the Questions with Savera Weerasinghe

In this episode we speak about living the questions and creating the space for emergence. Using trash as a metaphor for humanity, and reducing waste as a spiritual practice. Which brings us to the importance of embodying the future we envision. Including dance as protest and role of beauty and wonder in influencing policy.

Savera Weerasinghe Member of the Global Plastics Taskforce building strategy for the UNDP, supporting Country Offices in designing and developing their Plastics and Circular Economy portfolios. She is also the founder of Ananta Sustainables, Sri Lanka's first sustainable packaging sourcing, supply and solutions provider offering industries with compostable packaging and waste management solutions.  Ananta works to promote awareness of single-use plastic consumption by organizing community events such as trash sculpturing, plogging, and workshops.
