Small ways of contributing to a circular economy

Most of us try to reduce our waste - we take bags to the shops and recycle our plastics. Sometime of us compost. All of us know it isn't enough. Humans use 100 billion tonnes of "stuff" every year - upwards of 90% of its virgin materials are mined or hacked from our precious planets surface. Here are some more things we can all keep in mind: 1. Fix, don't replace. 2. Say goodbye to fast fashion - buy good quality clothes where you can, and less of them. Buy second hand when you can. 3. Rent over buying. This can apply for anything, from clothes for events to cars. 4. Build smart. Use sustainable materials like wood over concrete.
