S1 E4 The Plasticology Project Podcast - Speaking with Tarryn Johnston

Season 1 · Episode 4

Thursday, July 7, 2022 • Duration 52:52

On this episode of The Plasticology Project Podcast I speak with Tarryn Johnston, founder of the non-profit organisation Hennops Revival. Tarryn started Hennops Revival in 2019 after a river clean-up with her daughter changed the entire direction of her life. Seeing the state of the water and environment of the Hennops River in South Africa left a lasting impression on Tarryn, and triggered a desire to do more. Since completing the first river clean-up in 2019, Tarryn and Hennops Revival have removed 1.5 million kilograms of trash from the river in over 76,000 rubbish bags. Hennops Revival runs off the dedication and drive of volunteers. Through their effort the Hennops River is slowly beginning to breathe new life. I caught up with Tarryn via video call from her home near the Hennops River, South Africa.
