Let's focus on industry & systems change & redistribution & shift the media spotlight away from guilt-tripping children & consumers 2 the point of nervous exhaustion. As well as seeing the #circulareconomy through a holistic social lens. discardstudies.com/2019/11/1… (ta 4th link KayP)

It's annoying and costly when appliances break too quickly after the warranty expires and can't be fixed. But thanks to the EU, we’re moving closer to a repair society. @vzbv's @Elke_Salzmann guest blogs about the #EUEcodesign rules adopted yesterday: bit.ly/2mN9uUG

“#Circulareconomy is about eliminating supply chain inefficiency,” - says Siddharth Hande tiny.cc/Summit19 #Summit2019
What a travesty. Circularity without limits to growth isn't a circle, its a spiral. And transparency without thoughtful action is just a window to gawk at others through.

Such wonderful feedback from #ccdtaba workshop. Bring on next year... @AnnekaTextiles @LaetitiaForst
What a thrill that we picked my beloved leather jacked (owned by me for 6 years now and possibly 30 years old already) in order to redesign it for fast (1 month) and slow (50 years) lives for the “circular speeds” workshop led by @kategoldsworthy & @rlearley team @CCD_circdesign
