Our capitalist economy has produced great wealth at enormous costs. The underlying corporate behavior is a predominant cause of global challenges such as climate change, social injustice, and increasing worldwide economic disparity. Our current economy is linearit has a beginning and an end. Companies dig up materials, turn those materials into a product, and then ship that product to an end user, who eventually tosses it in the trash. But that system has to change. According to one of Googles sustainability projects, In 2017, global demand for resources was roughly 1.7 times what the Earth can support in one year, which means the linear economy model will soon slam into the edge of its physical limits. What we need now is a regenerative model in which we design products, materials, and supply chains with cycles that are reusable and safe for human health and the environment.
