More the waste, better the taste 

The World

That’s the motto at a café in India. Not just any café — a garbage café. The concept is simple. Bring in a kilo of plastic trash, and you get a free hot meal. Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s goal is to phase out single-use plastic by 2022. The World’s Marco Werman speaks with Zeeshan Khan, an Indian environmentalist and founder of the Garbage Café.
