Andres Bustamante: Sustainable Developments in South America

Joining us from beautiful Lobitos, Peru is Andres Bustamante; the first guest of the show and one of the founding partners of an NGO called ECOSWELL.  He Joins me to discuss the origins of the group and what their challenges and motivations are, also we talk about how renewable technologies can be used to great effects in rural communities and how operations like theirs can be replicated in more communities through a new term I picked up from him called "Leap frogging".  The aim of leap frogging is to encourage rural communities to adapt renewable technologies first instead of going through the conventional fossil fuel routes.  https://www.ecoswell.org/home.html  ecoswell is a non-profit organisation and have made a commitment to improve the local community they are in, they are open to donations and run a fantastic volunteer program year round. Follow the link above for more information.  Andres will also be speaking at a panel in the International Student Energy Summit 2019 on the topic of leapfrogging, follow the link for more information.  https://www.studentenergysummit2019.com/
