Nature works on a cycle, where everything has value and nothing is wasted. But modern humans have created a different kind of system: it’s less like a circle and more like a line. We take, make, use and then toss things away. Explore how these systems differ and begin to imagine how we might shift toward a loopier world where nature is our guide.
- Using the worksheet provided share one thing that could change in your home/life to work toward creating a circular economy in your community/school
- Draw/describe an invention that might help close the loop so items/resources do not need to be thrown away after only one use.
