EP. 43: Alfonso Gomez
Ana Alarcon
This weeks game changing guest is Alfonso Gomez, Sea Shepherd environmental activist and film maker from Mexico City.
Alfonso’s main focus is film and he recently spent time on board ocean conservation vessel Sea Shepherd in Baja California. It is there, his decision to switch to a plant based diet was solidified as he uncovered some horrific practices that are so common around the world.
In this conversation we covered:
- Alfonso's childhood in Mexico City.
- Living in New Zealand at the age of 16.
- Struggling with the idea of choosing a career at the end of high school.
- Starting multiple small business ventures as a way of trying new things.
- Filming a documentary in Chihuahua, Mexico in a bid to reconnect with his home country.
- Life on Sea Shepherd. What they do. How they help our oceans. What they eat on board!
- Statistics regarding plastic in our oceans and how that is linked to the fishing industry.
Hope you enjoy the show!
