Hello steemiers !!! 🌿🌷
Today I will talk about a key concept for a sustainable society.
Have you heard about the circular economy? 🤔
If you didn't know what it is, "the circular economy" is a resource management system that focuses on the reduction, reuse and recycling of elements. Avoiding the use of landfills that currently represent 17% of the sources of greenhouse gas emissions.

The current model of production and management of resources, goods and services that seeks to promote consumption in the short term is leading the planet to an unsustainable situation.

Just to give an example, each Latin American produces one kilo of garbage a day and the region as a whole, some 541,000 tons per day. This represents around 10% of the world's garbage.
""The circular economy could reduce waste by up to 99% from some industrial sectors and 99% of their greenhouse gas emissions, thus helping to protect the environment and combat climate change.""
What do you think about the circular economy?
