Summary

Buckle up for one of our most thought-provoking episodes yet! We’re sitting down with Dr. Brian Petersen today to discuss the circular economy theory – and why it doesn’t really make sense as a climate change solution. We touch upon the efforts of the zero waste movement, and larger social systems: are people truly happy with a society of constant consumption? How does technology impact our social systems, and can we use it to combat environmental issues? What do we *actually* need? Today’s episode of ECO CHIC is brought to you by Kinder Beauty Box!
