Industries ranging from soft drinks to furniture to electronics to fashion follow a one-way path of “make, take, and waste.” This linear operating system is straining resources, polluting oceans, and generating mountains of waste. Unrelenting pressure for growth continues to stress biodiversity and accelerate atmospheric warming, thereby increasing the intensity and incidence of drought, flooding, and migration. As a result, the public’s consent to resource-consumptive industries is increasingly at risk.
