The linear take-make-waste model is failing. The circular economy offers a regenerative, restorative path.
This section shows how ReLeaf in Austin, Texas, puts that approach to work. Through articles and Organic Fiction, we document practical steps toward sustainable, democratic, and equitable exchange.
ReLeaf helps unlock dormant spaces for shared income and supports Austin’s Zero Waste goals. The team is not only imagining a better future. They are building it.
Picture a city where waste is rare, materials cycle again and again, and success includes social and environmental gains.
Join us as we trace Austin’s shift to a circular economy and consider how the same principles can scale worldwide to create shared prosperity and lasting sustainability.
