CIRCULAR ECONOMY TARGETS ZERO WASTE & POLLUTION USING MATERIALS LIFECYCLES
“Circular Economy is an economic system that targets zero waste and pollution throughout materials lifecycles, from environment extraction to industrial transformation, and final consumers, applying to all involved ecosystems. Upon its lifetime end, materials return to either an industrial process or, in the case of a treated organic residual, safely back to the environment as in a natural regenerating cycle.
It operates by creating value at the macro, meso and micro levels and exploits to the fullest the sustainability nested concept. Used energy sources are clean and renewable. Resources use and consumption is efficient. Government agencies and responsible consumers play an active role ensuring correct system long-term operation.”
circular development is a model of economic
More generally, circular development is a model of economic, social and environmental production and consumption that aims to build an autonomous and sustainable society in tune with the issue of environmental resources.[17] The circular economy aims to transform our economy into one that is regenerative. An economy that innovates to reduce waste and the ecological and environmental impact of industries prior to happening rather than waiting to address the consequences of these issues.[18] This is done by designing new processes and solutions for the optimization of resources, decoupling reliance on finite resources.[17]
The circular economy is a framework of three principles, driven by design: eliminate waste and pollution, keeping products and materials in use and regenerate natural systems.[4] It is based increasingly on renewable energy and materials, and it is accelerated by digital innovation. It is a resilient, distributed, diverse, and inclusive economic model. The circular economy is an economic concept often linked to sustainable development, provision of the Sustainable Development Goals (Global Development Goals) and an extension of a green economy.
The Reforms Proposed by the ProJuPaz Foundation and the Plan Salida Social Movement
Our strategy to generate “unprecedented change” at the human-environmental level will be a National Program designed to activate the switch of conscience and build ethical beings with love for the environment, creating strategies such as the program “YOUR GARBAGE CREATES MONEY AND VIDA” focused on the idea that “waste is resources” and which will have as its objectives: sustainable waste management, greenhouse gas (GHG) reductions, separation of biodegradable, recyclable and organic waste at source , environmental education campaigns, a system of fines, incentives and volunteering, which will finally be the fundamental axes of the program at the national level.
The use of “garbage as energy” will be used -which will provide the necessary electricity to the regions-, door-to-door collection and various environmental education programs, which will simultaneously bring millions of “green jobs” and the economic benefits that They will be estimated at hundreds of billions of dollars, in addition to the production of thousands of tons of biofertilizers and compost destined to strengthen the vision of “Colombia as a world agricultural power” that will turn it into a true green country.
Ana Inés Vásquez is the president of the Community Action Board of the GIFT neighborhood in Bosa and a member of the National Interethnic Network of Environmental Defenders and has become a manager of cultural change. From her town, Bosa, she has developed a community initiative of urban gardens that have provided food security to the residents of the neighborhood.
We are going to have the opportunity to understand how the process was to generate these spaces and to know what is the importance of involving boys and girls in this type of initiative, since Ana Inés found in the construction of urban gardens on the terraces of the neighborhood an alternative to the boredom experienced by boys and girls in the confinement of the pandemic.
We are working the Circular Economy Proyect using the model that the neighborhood, “The GIFT” worked with integral recycle and the head of household women, made to emphazice on, HOW TO WORK WHITH WHAT WE HAVE and that means our organic waste, our little spaces as long as we are using OUR CONSCIONESS TO MAKE THE DIFFERENCE.
