Paige Whitehead of Lux Bio joins us to share her incredible journey from a spark of inspiration to a mission with global impact. It all started with a simple question after encountering plastic waste at a BC music festival: "Why not use nature's light instead?" That thought drove her to harness bioluminescence, creating a sustainable alternative to the toxic glow sticks used in everything from commercial fishing to space exploration. Paige delves into how her team is partnering with key players in the blue economy to replace hazardous materials with nature's own brilliant solution.
