In conversation with Fozia Parveen, a postdoctoral fellow and an adjunct faculty at the Centre for Water Informatics and Technology (WIT) at the Lahore University of Management Sciences. She holds a PhD in Engineering Science from the University of Oxford. Her thesis was titled, Development of Lab-scale Forward Osmosis Membrane Bioreactor (FO-MBR) with Draw Solute Regeneration for Wastewater Treatment. She completed her bachelors and masters in Environmental Sciences from Fatima Jinnah Women University and National University of Science and Technology, Pakistan. She has also started a discussion and awareness forum called ‘Meer-e-Karwan’ where she emphasises on environmental problems and women rights, amongst other issues. In this episode, she speaks to us about her early days growing up close to nature, her observations and experiences of how the environment is often not taken care of in urban areas, and the the Rs we often hear in conversations around sustainability- reduce, reuse, and recycle, and how these are evolving. She also shares some potential solutions that individuals, organisations and governments can consider to do their bit in keeping the environment healthy and safe.
