Nature provides a blueprint for us to rebuild, reuse, and renew.
When we started to mass produce the things we wanted, we also introduced unprecedented types and quantities of waste into nature. There’s a significant contrast between the systems we’ve built and the ones that thrive in nature. And the unintended consequences are threatening nearly every ecosystem on the planet – including ours.
Today, we often try to fix our economic and ecological systems without truly transforming them. There’s no doubt that transitioning from a linear economy to a circular society calls for fundamental changes in how we act and what we’re willing to embrace. The transition is going to take all of our openness, imagination, and effort, but the grass really could be greener on the other side.

Researchers across the world are continuing to investigate how seemingly subtle changes in our global ecosystems can have major unintended consequences for how they function.
