There are known knowns, there are things we know we know... There are known unknowns, the things we do not know. But there are also unknown unknowns, the ones we don't know we don't know.

"An easily forgotten fact about the food we eat, the goods we buy and the packaging surrounding them is the demand it places on the natural world." | @FT

In a #circulareconomy, what comes from nature is safely returned to the production cycle. https://t.co/iFnkxagIFH

@AskMarcoPesce I agree that this isn’t the mindset shift moment and it’s a false hope to believe this is a turning point. I’m still optimistic about the movement in general!

[Seb Egerton-Read @sebread2]

@astephan_bldgs @SustainVic @cityofmelbourne Very interesting. I’d be super interested in the paper!

When did MPs become experts on working conditions for construction workers? Most of them don’t look like they’ve picked up a tool in their entire lifetime!

Can a material really be called circular? I see posts describing things like steel and wood as circular vs other materials. Ultimately, the reusability or recyclability fundamentally comes from how that material is applied and the system that sits around it.

Brilliant quotes from @joeiles (as always).

I can remember hearing @billmcdonough once say “what’s next is what’s next!”

"The shorthand for thinking systemically is to simply ask ‘what’s next’?" - @joeiles

The economy as we know it today has been designed. It is not a naturally occurring phenomenon. And if it has been designed, it can be redesigned.

Design OUT waste, not design from waste.

Why does it feel like you have to either love the idea of shoes made from plastic waste or want to eliminate all plastics from anything forever?

Is shouldn’t surprise anyone that the answer to a challenge at this scale isn’t so simple.

@astephan_bldgs @SustainVic @cityofmelbourne This is an interesting study and relevant to conversations we’ve had with HE institutions. Does the analysis suggest where the most impactful intervention points for universities are?

I recently discovered eating granola with greek yoghurt and now I'm absolutely obsessed with it.
