Imagine a Chair
January 07, 2016
This short animation film, produced for the Ellen MacArthur Foundation by the author Christiane Dorion, explains to children in a simple way the concept of a circular economy. Just like cycles in nature, we can design and make our stuff to be made again, so materials can be reused over and over in an endless loop, without creating any waste. This animation is based on Christiane’s book ‘How we Make Stuff’.
