I've always said "Sustainability marks the halfway point to where we actually need to be." - it's a necessary first step towards a regenerative future. The #circulareconomy approach to resource management supports that claim.

Great news in the #circulareconomy world!

The European Commission proposed a new Circular Economy Action Plan, which focuses on waste prevention/management, boosting growth, competitiveness and EU global leadership in the field.

PROstruction or CONstruction?

[Eric Corey Freed @ericcoreyfreed]

Transitioning our construction technology from CONstruction to PROstruction is a paradigm shift from cut/slash/burn to grow/regenerate/breathe #HealthyHomesXPRIZE

[Kyle James Ritchie @RitchieRevo]

@Arch2030 @c40cities @Arch2030 it's important to remember that something is either sustainable, or it's not. There's no "more sustainable" or "less sustainable" in systems. Worse than sustainable = degenerative. Better than sustainable = regenerative.

Great quiz from the @CambridgeCEC to test your knowledge of waste within our current, linear economy. @ericcoreyfreed how many can you get right?

[Cambridge Circular Economy Centre at CJBS @CambridgeCEC]

Powerful line from Brothers Karamozov:

“Above all, don't lie to yourself. The man who lies to himself & listens to his own lie comes to a point that he cannot distinguish the truth within him, or around him, & so loses all respect for himself & for others."

There's a sweet spot for everything: The Goldilocks Zone. Not enough water and you die from dehydration. Too much, and you drown. The same goes for #carbon. Whats my point? Find balance.

[William McDonough @billmcdonough]

We can aim to embrace carbon as an asset in soil, plants and durable earth-bound forms, while eliminating it as a liability in the atmosphere. We can start by implementing a #CradletoCradle #CircularEconomy for carbon.

Forget 2030, change needs to happen now. Let performance drive our built environment for once, not how pretty it looks.

[BuildingGreen, Inc @bglive]

Forget net zero by 2030: it’s not enough, or soon enough, to stop catastrophic climate change. That’s the message Mahesh Ramanujam, president and CEO of the U.S. Green Building Council, had for attendees of Greenbuild 2020.
