The take-make-trash model of the 20th century industrial economy can be summed up in one word – extraction. Materials were extracted from the earth. Worker’s labor was extracted from their jobs. Resilience was extracted from our communities. The true cost of this has come due in the 21st century as we grapple with economic and climate crises.

But there is hope in the concept of a circular economy where our society can turn waste into resources and use regenerative practices to create a world where people and the planet can thrive together.

Join circular economy professional Nic Esposito as he takes you on a journey of the work his team is doing in Philadelphia and beyond to achieve this ambitious goal.

There will be plenty of time for audience questions, too!

Tickets $10-15 (for this online, virtual event).
