World Wisdom: EcoPod Refill Stations and Penelope Robin

Singer/songwriter Penelope Robin’s philanthropic efforts have already been making a BIG impact on not only the music world, but animal activism through her #AdoptYourBestie initiative, and now the world of Environmental Conservation. Teaming up with EcoPod - the new alternative to single-use plastics for home and personal care products - the company is launching a brand new initiative with Robin as youth ambassador along with her new song “World Full of Love”. She also attended the Beverly Hills EMA Impact Summit last month alongside Jaden Smith (Will Smith's son), Wendie Malick (This is Us), Callum Worthy (The Act) and Malin Akerman (Billions) with EcoPod Founders and Father-Daughter team Henry and Gabriela Pino speaking on the company's goals and aspirations.


The song, which Penelope previewed just this past April on Earth Day, promotes coming together to embrace nature and helping to repair the damage done through compassion. “If we broke it we can fix it, because together we can heal it // If you love it, you can dream it, ‘Cause all we need is hope in a world full of love” she sings in the acoustic-driven ballad that’s as touching as it is masterful.

Speaking on her thoughts behind the music and teaming with EcoPod, she says "I'm so excited to be collaborating with such an amazing company like Ecopod who is actively thinking about our future and teaching us the importance of taking care of our planet! Having my music as part of their message makes me so happy!"

Henry Pino, founder and President of Ecopod remarked, “We are here to help with the reduction of plastic but it's up to our kids to take a stern stance. Penelope Robin our Youth Ambassador is a great example. Through her music she is making a difference and inspiring other kids."

I had a chance to do an interview to learn more.

-Why were EcoPod kiosks created?Ecopod was developed by Environmental Solutions Group (ESG). ESG is dedicated to the invention, enhancement, and distribution of simple station-based answers to many of life’s most common environmental problems.
We’re passionate about building a more sustainable environment and Ecopod Kiosks were a perfect way to reduce the reliance on single-use plastic currently used for many of these products in order to protect our oceans and environment.

-How can people find where they're located?
Ecopod is based out of Miami and currently expanding throughout Florida. We have kiosks in private residential buildings as well as several commercial locations.

-How did Penelope Robin get involved?
Ecopod Founder Henry Pino met Penelope Robin during Earth Day 2019 in Fort Lauderdale where she was singing her song “World Full of Love” which she wrote in hopes of bringing people together in helping our planet. They discovered they share a strong passion in saving our planet and have been collaborating since.

More About EcoPod:
Father-daughter team Henry and Gabriela Pino created EcoPod as a sustainable solution to the growing environmental problem of plastic pollution. On land and in our oceans, single-use plastics wreak havoc on the ecosystem, polluting the water and soil. EcoPod is a cleaning solutions refilling station that creates an alternative to traditional single-use plastic containers. The result is a technology that reduces the amount of plastic waste normally generated from single-use cleaning and personal care product containers, while saving consumers time and money. EcoPod is an ideal solution for establishments such as apartment complexes, planned communities, dormitories, laundromats and retail stores that want to play a role in creating a greener future. EcoPod saves consumers time and money with its easy-to-use design and cost-cutting refilling capabilities. For establishments that implement an EcoPod Kiosk, benefits go even further by creating a new revenue stream while reducing waste pick-up, saving space, and offering a convenient, simple, and environmentally-conscious service for their customers.
