111. New Systems and New Power with Dame Ellen MacArthur & Guest Co-Host Catherine Howarth
This week, The Circular Economy!
Currently our economy operates in a linear way. Take, Make, Dispose. It\u2019s based on the industrial revolution, and we know this way of doing things has limits. Some of those limits we are reaching even today.
But there\u2019s a different economy we could create. The Circular Economy.
This week we explore the \u2018Circular Economy\u2019 with #1 Circular Economy advocate, Dame Ellen MacArthur. This brand new economy is all about designing out waste and pollution, keeping products and materials in use, and regenerating natural systems. It incentivizes manufacturers to create and maintain better products, stops the Global North from polluting the Global South, and has the potential to regenerate wildlife and ecosystems that are on the brink of collapsing.
And with Christiana and Tom out this week, we invite special guest co-host, Catherine Howarth, CEO of Share Action, to discuss what it will take to encourage regenerative economic practices? Are we at a tipping point right now? Is a green, equitable, regenerative global society finally close to our grasp?
And later on in the episode, join us for a soulful acoustic performance of \u201cWhat Can I Do?\u201d by Rachel Sermanni.
Thanks for joining us!
