    That was excellent - well-presented as the TED talks usually are. I wish she'd fleshed it out a bit more, with a couple practical ideas that reach down to us at the peon level. Have you seen any follow-up talks that do this?

    The circular-economy concept is discussed in more detail here: https://www.ellenmacarthurfoundation...rcular-economy

    It'd be great to see this approach gain traction locally and globally.
