Solutions to plastic pollution are within reach, preventing a future where oceans contain more plastic than fish. Sir David Attenborough advocates for a circular economy for plastic: eliminating unnecessary items, innovating for safe reuse, recycling, or composting of essential plastics, and circulating materials to prevent waste.

Dame Ellen MacArthur emphasizes the need for bold, urgent action against plastic pollution. A comprehensive 2020 study, "Breaking the Plastic Wave," by The Pew Charitable Trusts and SYSTEMIQ, with partners including the Ellen MacArthur Foundation, reveals a stark future: without intervention, ocean plastic entering the environment will nearly triple by 2040, and total ocean stocks will quadruple. This aligns with earlier warnings that plastic could outweigh fish in the ocean by 2050.

The study confirms that a circular economy for plastic is the only effective solution, a vision already embraced by over 850 organizations globally. Discover more about this critical research and its pathways to stopping ocean plastic pollution here.

Dame Ellen MacArthur, a record-breaking yachtswoman, shares her inspiring journey. Her solo global sailing experience underscored the critical need for resource management, mirroring humanity's broader challenge.

She transitioned into an international champion for the circular economy. This system change advocates retaining the value of vital, finite resources, moving away from one-way consumption models.

Her presentation is followed by a Q&A with Jack Ehnes, CEO of the California State Teachers Retirement System and a Ceres Board member.

Dame Ellen MacArthur urges "bold and urgent action" to address plastic pollution. A 2020 study, "Breaking the Plastic Wave," by The Pew Charitable Trusts and SYSTEMIQ, reveals a grim forecast: without intervention, by 2040, plastic on the market will double, annual ocean entry will almost triple, and ocean stocks will quadruple. This echoes the Ellen MacArthur Foundation's 2016 warning of more plastic than fish by 2050.

The study confirms a circular economy for plastic is the only way to tackle waste at its source. This vision already unites over 850 organizations. Find out more here.

Solo sailor Ellen MacArthur's circumnavigation of the globe provided profound insights into the world's finite resources and interconnected cycles. Her journey highlighted how today's decisions directly impact future availability.

Based on this understanding, MacArthur proposes a bold new vision for economic systems. She advocates for a circular economy, moving away from linear models, where resources are continuously reused and regenerated, ensuring sustainability for generations to come.

Aeshnina, a 13-year-old environmental activist, is known for her brave advocacy against plastic waste. She challenged world leaders, including Donald Trump and Australia's Prime Minister, to manage waste in their countries and reclaim it from Indonesia. Aeshnina also works to clean the Brantas River, builds an imported waste museum, and runs online campaigns via @river.warrior and @info.mistik.

Her talk highlights deep concern over plastic pollution in Indonesia's rivers and seas, emphasizing that producers must take responsibility for collecting and processing their waste. This presentation was given at an independently organized TEDx event. Learn more here.

Despite scientific consensus on human-induced global warming, former US President Donald Trump has consistently denied its human origins. In 2012, he famously claimed climate change was "a hoax invented by the Chinese to make US manufacturing less competitive."

This political stance, compounded by the pandemic, has significantly hindered environmental progress. SustainabilityX magazine summarizes Trump's impact and offers a "what not to do" list to inspire action for the new year.
