Listen as Amanda and Garry reflect on the importance of reuse in a local circular economy as they discuss the need for consumers to be more thoughtful about their purchase and waste decisions. 
Scaling our reuse ability largely depends on supporting and aligning technology, infrastructure, and public policy. Doing so creates a paradigm shift in economies that reduces greenhouse gas emissions and addresses environmental justice. Cities worldwide are poised to play a crucial role in this effort that can be a true game-changer for an inclusive transition to a low-carbon economy.
