Circular Economy Working Group
Reconvenes on January 27th
|
|
Our Circular Economy Working Group (CEWG) will reconvene on Wednesday, January 27th, from 6-8 pm EST. We are honored to have Stephanie Miller, founder of Zero Waste in DC, which provides consultation to individual households and corporations on reducing waste. She will discuss her recently published book Zero Waste Living, The 80/20 Way: The Busy Person’s Guide To A Lighter Footprint on how a few relatively easy lifestyle changes can create a significant positive impact. Using the simplicity of the 80/20 rule, she will highlight those things (the 20%) that we can do to make the biggest impact (80%) difference in reversing the waste and climate crisis. Previously, she had a 25-year career at the International Finance Corporation (IFC), the private sector arm of the World Bank Group, where she served as Director of IFC's Climate Business Department and led global teams to find innovative solutions to climate change. |

Scott explains the idea of regenerative development: "balancing and harmonizing the factors that contribute to a long-term viability" of an architecture project. Instead of looking at buildings individually, he argues, we can more effectively integrate them with their Place. This gives the project a deeper purpose.

Since academics and humans in general tend to focus on one issue at a time, we fail to grasp the truly massive scale of intersectional problems like the ecological crisis. We consume 170% of the Earth's capacity to regenerate itself.
