Stories of Sustainability: Circular Philadelphia

    Office of Sustainability

    This Story of Sustainability will imagine a Circular Philadelphia with Director of Policy and Engagement, Nic Esposito, and Director of Program and Operations, Samantha Wittchen. 

    Temple Sustainability is a founding member and key Philadelphia stakeholder in this growing global circular economy movement and so we've invited the Circular team to tell us the story of how we got here -- the “take-make-waste” model of waste -- and what sustainable solutions lie ahead.

    Attendees of this event will learn about the recycling crisis and a brief history of trash, consumption and the American economy. Then we'll explore exactly how materials can be used in a continuous loop to regenerate natural systems via Circular's key strategies of

    • market transformation,
    • smart policy advocacy,
    • collaboration, and
    • outreach.

    You'll leave with a sense of what went wrong with waste management and how you can help fix it in Philly and on Temple's campus.
