Ethical Systems’ Breaking the FeverPodcast Series on Climate Change – Episode 22

In this episode of the podcast, we speak with Jessica Long about the global imperative to eliminate waste in the economy, and the progress people have made on this front—in companies, industries, cities, and nations.

We discuss:

• Sustainable growth
• Changing a “take, make, waste” linear economy to a “take, make” circular economy
• Modifying products to allow consumption to grow sustainably
• How sustainability will permeate organizations akin to widespread digitization
• Concrete signals of sustainability successes
• Avoiding politically polarizing approaches to sustainability
