The Ellen MacArthur Foundation, a UK charity, actively engages with schools and universities worldwide to equip future innovators and leaders with circular economy thinking. Host Colin Webster discusses these vital programs with leaders Harrison Wavell (Schools & Colleges) and Reniera O'Donnell (Higher Education).

Launched in 2010 by world record-breaking sailor Ellen MacArthur, the Foundation accelerates the transition to a circular economy. It has become a global thought leader, influencing decision-makers across business, government, and academia with support from partners like SUN, MAVA, and Arup.

Conservationist Luwi Nguluka challenges audiences with lesser-known facts about African wildlife and conservation. Her passion for inclusivity and diversity in the field stems from a childhood in the African Wilderness, including the Okavango Delta. Representing Zambia's next generation of conservationists, she leads innovative awareness campaigns.

These initiatives include "Women For Conservation," Zambia's first network for women in the field, and the "This is not Game" bushmeat campaign, which combats illegal trade devastating carnivore and prey species. Luwi also uses technology and storytelling to diversify conservation communication. This talk was recorded at TEDxLusaka 2019. Learn more at ted.com/tedx.

The U.S. House of Representatives has passed bipartisan legislation to ban the domestic shark fin trade. This action addresses shark finning, a cruel practice where fins are removed at sea and the shark's body is discarded. While finning is illegal in U.S. waters, fins are still traded, often imported from countries with inadequate protections.

The global shark fin trade is a primary driver of declining shark populations worldwide, impacting an estimated 73 million sharks annually. This unsustainable demand has led to over 90% declines in some populations, threatening one-third of species in major trade hubs with extinction. The U.S. ban aims to mitigate this devastating impact.

45% of global greenhouse gas emissions stem from how we produce and use everyday goods. Achieving Paris Agreement goals requires fundamentally rethinking these processes. The Ellen MacArthur Foundation, a UK charity, accelerates the transition to a circular economy by influencing business, government, and academia.

On November 7th, Ilma and Suki from the Foundation discussed why renewable energy alone is insufficient and shared key research findings.

Less than 1% of clothing is recycled, leading to a truckload of textile waste entering landfills every second. However, some designers and brands are challenging this linear "take-make-waste"

Less than 1% of clothing is recycled, leading to a truckload of textile waste entering landfills every second. However, some designers and brands are challenging this linear "take-make-waste" model by embracing sustainable practices.

A prime example is Rapanui, founded by two brothers on the Isle of Wight. They create clothing from natural materials using renewable energy, designing products for circularity. Worn-out items are recovered to make new ones, and t-shirts are produced on-demand to eliminate overproduction. Rapanui also provides a free platform for global access to their supply chain and technology.

Woody Chan argues that climate change is solvable, despite feelings of helplessness. Drawing from his experience at China Water Risk, which evolved into a leading think tank in seven years, he shares how he overcame similar despair.

Chan proposes innovative solutions, from 3D printing steaks and capturing cow farts to slowing fashion. A Cambridge Geography graduate (2016) concerned with wastewater discharge, he joined China Water Risk, an NGO providing ecological and financial consultancy.

Currently, Chan aims to tackle water and climate risks from a business and financial perspective. This talk was given at a TEDx event. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx.

Brendan explores the nature of species and extinction risk, offering a new lens—the wonder of nature's irreplaceable designs—to evaluate conservation policies. His philosophical and practical insights aim to reshape our approach to environmental challenges.

With a Ph.D. in philosophy and a background in neuroscience, Brendan's research bridges science and philosophy. He investigates how evaluation translates into action, why we sometimes fail to do what's right, and ethical questions concerning the value of species. He teaches ethical theory, helping students apply philosophical reflection to real-world problems.

Massive wildfires, exacerbated by climate change, have devastated California. However, experts and victims primarily attribute these disasters to PG&E's criminal negligence. Faulty power lines and ignored maintenance since the 1990s led to deadly events like the Camp Fire, resulting in $30 billion in liabilities and the company's bankruptcy. Calls for accountability and reform are mounting.

Beyond wildfires, California faces extreme drought and rainfall cycles, intensified by climate change. This tumultuous water history and future needs are explored in Mark Arax's book, "The Dreamt Land." Discussions center on sustainable water management for the state's agriculture and population.

Artifishal explores the decline of wild salmon, highlighting threats from hatcheries and fish farms, and our diminishing connection to nature. Patagonia created this film to spark dialogue and encourage new approaches to river and fish conservation and management.

For over 40 years, Patagonia has championed wild rivers and fish, providing over $20 million in grants to conservation efforts. We invite you to visit Patagonia Action Works to support groups protecting these vital ecosystems. Further information on our position and scientific resources is available at Patagonia.com/Artifishal and Patagonia Provisions.
