Yet there is a Plan B.

An alternative to the mad, thoughtless cycle of waste that we are caught in.

Sustainable Development Goal 12 says we must learn to efficiently manage our shared natural resources and the way we use and dispose of toxic waste and pollutants. It lays out a clear and detailed plan for a sustainable and prosperous future for everybody.

Circular economies have the enormous untapped potential to both combat climate change and promote development and growth at all levels of society.

SDG 12, Responsible Consumption and Production

There is nowhere else for us to go. We must abandon traditional economic models, which are not working.
