Ne postoji bacanje nečega, kaže Endru Dent. Kada bacite posudu za hranu, slomljenu igračku ili stare čarape u smeće, te stvari neizbežno završe na deponijama koje se stalno povećavaju. Ali, možemo postati pametniji u pogledu načina na koji pravimo i iznova sastavljamo proizvode. Dent deli uzbudljive primere štednje - ideje da koristite i ponovo upotrebite ono što vam treba, tako da ne morate kupovati ništa novo - kao i napredaka u nauci o materijalima, poput elektronike od nanoceluloze i enzima koji mogu pomoći da se plastika beskrajno reciklira.

Da bismo eliminisali otpad, treba da ponovo otkrijemo štednju

Thrift means more than recycling; it is a mindset that values giving products many lives instead of sending them to overflowing landfills. With 1.3 billion tons of waste already dumped each year and projections nearing four billion by 2100, reimagining waste as a resource is urgent. From cars that are 95 percent recycled to new materials like nanocellulose and infinitely recyclable plastics, industries and nature both show that smarter design can nearly eliminate waste. Embracing thrift can save money, protect resources, and transform the way society creates and consumes.
