The circular economy offers a compelling business case for product redesign and new operating models. In a live conversation, members of the Ellen MacArthur Foundation team discussed its underlying values and relevant topics.

They explored how the circular economy differs from sustainability or "recycling on steroids," debating whether efficiency or effectiveness matters more, and if a top-down or bottom-up approach is better.

The broadcast featured four experts from the Ellen MacArthur Foundation. Watch the full discussion here: https://youtu.be/HtOV_tGBHz8.

Join members of the Ellen MacArthur Foundation team for a live conversation exploring the circular economy. This compelling concept presents a clear business case for redesigning everyday products and establishing fundamentally new operating models for businesses.

The discussion will delve into critical questions: How does the circular economy differentiate from sustainability or advanced recycling? Is its primary focus on efficiency or effectiveness, and does that distinction matter? Should it be implemented as a top-down or bottom-up approach?

This broadcast features Seb Egerton-Read, Stella Chavin, Sarah O'Carroll, and Laura Franco Henao, who will discuss the underlying values and relevant topics of the circular economy.

Transportation policymakers face a critical dual challenge: electrifying the nation's vehicle fleet and establishing a stable funding source. As the U.S. shifts to electric vehicles, the traditional reliance on motor fuel taxes is unsustainable, necessitating new models like mileage fees or carbon taxes.

This vital discussion features U.S. Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg, Senator Alex Padilla, and other experts. The program is supported by the Mineta Transportation Institute at San José State University.

Transportation policymakers face a dual challenge: electrifying the U.S. vehicle fleet and securing stable funding. As motor fuel taxes become obsolete, new models like mileage fees, carbon taxes, or higher registration fees are essential to fund infrastructure and services.

This program, supported by the Mineta Transportation Institute, features U.S. Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg, Senator Alex Padilla, and Caltrans Director Toks Omishakin. They will discuss these critical issues and opportunities. View the full event program and panelists here: Electronic Program.

Lake Erie, part of Earth's largest surface freshwater system, provides drinking water for 11 million people. Its water quality is threatened by increased fertilizer-derived nutrients.

Researchers Anna Michalak, Tom Bridgeman, and Pete Richards are studying how farming practices and severe weather contribute to these nutrient levels, which diminish water quality and threaten the lake's ecosystem and public health. This research was published on July 12, 2013.

U.S. wetlands are in crisis, with half of these vital ecosystems in the lower 48 states vanishing since the 1780s. A 2023 Supreme Court decision removed federal protections, leaving remaining wetlands vulnerable to draining and filling.

Wetlands are crucial for biodiversity; nearly 50% of threatened and endangered species rely on them, with over 33% living exclusively there. Their loss degrades water quality, increases flood risks, and accelerates extinction; many endangered wetland species lack critical habitat protection.

Urge the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to protect more critical habitat for wetland-dependent species. Learn more and act at www.saveourfreshwater.org.

Ocean plastic is a solvable issue requiring personal responsibility and practical solutions. The Seabin Project, a crowdfunded invention, exemplifies a promising reactive approach. These bins effectively collect floating plastics, oil, and micro-plastics down to 2mm in marinas.

While Seabins are effective, they are not the ultimate solution. The project's 50% for-profit, 50% not-for-profit model supports education, science, research, and community engagement, which are considered the real long-term answers.
