Guided by the principles of ecological economics and the belief in the importance of systems thinking and collaboration, I advocate for policies and practices that promote sustainable consumption and production patterns, encourage product longevity and durability, and incentivize the adoption of circular business models. For in the circular flow of materials and resources, I am but a humble steward—a catalyst for change and a champion for a future where waste is minimized, resources are conserved, and prosperity is shared equitably among all.
