The UK's oil platforms require decommissioning. A circular economy approach offers a significant opportunity to capture economic value by reusing the vast quantities of steel, rather than simply recycling it.

While the systemic benefits of this reuse strategy are clear, aligning incentives for all stakeholders presents a key challenge. The central question is how to effectively convince every actor to prioritize reuse.

Mackenzie Feldman, 23, from Honolulu, Hawaii, founded Herbicide-Free Campus to ban herbicides at schools nationwide. Her campaign began at UC Berkeley, inspired by Hawaii's industrial agriculture and its impact on land and people. After an herbicide spraying incident at UC Berkeley's volleyball courts, she successfully initiated a campus-wide ban.

A major achievement was the temporary ban of glyphosate across all University of California campuses. Mackenzie has since expanded her efforts nationally, mentoring students, providing resources, and training them in campaign strategy and alternative maintenance methods. She aims for a toxic-free world, protecting communities and ecosystems from harmful pesticides.
