More than 90% of biodiversity loss is due to the extraction and processing of natural resources. Can a shift to the circular economy help to reverse biodiversity loss altogether? In this episode of the Circular Economy Show: We’ll go one-on-one with the lead author of the Ellen MacArthur Foundation’s latest paper on the topic of the circular economy and biodiversity. We’ll explore some real world examples of some of the biodiversity benefits that circular design can deliver from agriculture to the built environment. The Nature Conservancy’s Robert Jones will discuss the potential role of Aquaculture - effectively regenerative agriculture for the oceans - can play in rebuilding the health of our oceans. ------ Thank you for watching this video.

Where do our clothes go when we’re done with them? In a city like New York alone, 200 million pounds of clothing are being landfilled annually - that is the equivalent of over 440 Statues of Liberty. Globally, 73% of the materials used to produce clothing are landfilled or burned at the end of their life, while less than 1% of old clothing goes on to be used to make new clothes. Two recent campaigns - Wear Next (New York) and Love Not Landfill (London) - aimed to divert clothes from landfill and encouraged brands and citizens to embrace the new mindset and make our wardrobes really work. They say that whether it’s swapping them, selling them, donating or recycling them, it’s possible to work together to prevent clothing from ever becoming waste. Join this session to find out why these campaigns were set up, how they went and what they learned. ------------------------ Thank you for watching this video.

While civilization has brought comforts undreamed of in human history to a wealthy minority, it has wreaked havoc on life itself, polluting, extracting, and heating the atmosphere and the oceans to the point of mass extinction. Greed, ill will and the delusion of separation reign. How can we recover our interconnectedness with each other and with nature, and realize our collective capacity to join in the necessary work of our time? Is individual spiritual practice, now mostly separated from the natural world, still valid?
