With the climate emergency always on our footsteps, there are always improvements, are needing to be made as a society. If you’ve been tuning in with James for a while now, you would know I have talked alot about waste minimisation, packaging and the circular economy. With the zero waste network having hosted a global summit last week, James took the opportunity to talk to their chairperson, Marty Crawford, about New Zealand and the circular economy. James started off by asking about why our economy doesn’t work.
