This week in our #CircularEconomy & the #2030Agenda course, we explored #CircularLifestyles with Sandra Goldmark.
Big changes start with small actions: choosing pre-owned, repairing what we have & consuming more mindfully. Our habits shape markets & the future.
@UNEP @UNSSCBONN
ALT Choose well, keep it simple, use reclaimed, care for it, pass it on. Choose to repair what you love instead of replacing it —invest in people, not possessions, because circularity starts with care.
