This Woman Fought 22 Years for Water | Angie Pajak (E164)
Description
What happens when the conversation about water goes far beyond what we drink?
Chef JKP sits down with Angie Pająk, CEO of Greentech by Aquacell, for a different kind of episode.
From childhood food memories in Poland to studying across four universities, Angie’s story moves through hospitality, sustainability, wellness, water technology, plastics, and the challenge of turning big environmental ideas into real action.
This is a conversation about water, yes.
But also about stress, health, hotels, kitchens, microplastics, climate systems, and why some of the simplest things we use every day may deserve a lot more attention.
