Description

In this episode of Sustainability Champions (formerly Sustainability Matters Today), I interview Habib Khan, Director and Founding Partner at Meristem Design and a Champion of Urban Greening for Cleaner City Air.

Meristem Design specializes in creating green solutions for grey urban spaces and is heavily involved with ‘greening’ London.



Providing green screens and plants to the most polluted schools across London, building parklets in neighborhoods, planting living walls in the city, and maintaining green infrastructure in landmark office buildings like The Shard, Meristem uses plants to purify the air and provide many health benefits to people.



Their parklets have won the Global Good Award for making sustainability and social impact. They have also picked up awards from the International Healthy Streets Summit in Glasgow in 2018.



Please make sure to subscribe to the Sustainability Champions to learn more about other champions of sustainability like Habib.



I hope you enjoy the episode!
