Re-thinking Progress: The Circular Economy
There's a world of opportunity to re-think and re-design the way we make stuff. 'Re-Thinking Progress' explores how through a change in perspective we can re-design the way our economy works - designing products that can be 'made to be made again' and powering the system with renewable energy. It questions whether with creativity and innovation we can build a restorative economy.

Very good video. Short and clear.
It is the responsiblity of the people to raise civil populations instead of, the crimminally insane people the liberal schools have been producing with the help of the media. It's not CONSERVatives. It's the liberals.
I second that, keith.
A revolutionary idea. I think this could work. But it needs all of us to galvanise and realiser that this rethinking needs to be local, global and most importantly individually. Otherwise as Fraiser says in Dad's Army "We're doomed. Doomed". The earth has finite resources. But we need to act fast. Businessmen like Sugar, Gates etc need to be involved. They must be able to see that there is money in it for them if they get it right. Great film. Clear and attractive storytelling, Good Luck!
lets make it happen
I'm personally loving the idea, and it shows a better way forward for the future.. I guess some people would find the idea maybe not so good, but I love it and the idea deserves to be thought through by companies big or small.. becuase whatever happens this is our planet and future we are fighting for
this is pure genius!! i loved the part about 'borrowing' from the manufactures. When we give it back, perhaps they could reuse the same material to create even more good stuff. And if the returned material isn't usable, they can simply recycle. Nothing goes in the landfill, which is awesome.
