“We’re Momming Today” about garbage. Literally. As the saying goes, one man’s trash is another man’s treasure. Well one woman’s passion to find uses for that trash has become society’s gain. That woman, Debbie Mielewski, a mom, the only female chemical engineering student in her class growing up, and now the Senior Technical Leader of Sustainable Materials at Ford, joins me. We discuss how she went from being bullied out of boardrooms and dismissed for having “crazy” ideas, to inking a major sustainability pact with McDonald’s to use their coffee bean scraps to make auto parts that go in every Ford vehicle. Plus, how she inspired her kids and the next generation to care about our environment.
