Description

On Day 3 of Circular Cities Week, we will explore what it looks like to take the concepts of the circular economy and put them into practice within organic cycles.

 

The Mass Audubon’s Nature Center and Wildlife Sanctuary team will provide a tour of their facilities, showing various initiatives they have taken to increase the sustainability of their facility while working in partnership with nature.

 

The tour will be followed by a panel discussion on nature and the circular economy. Industry leaders will share insights on sustainable practices inspired by nature's regenerative cycles. Haley Knox of Schneider Electric will facilitate a panel that explores innovative solutions driving the transition to a circular economy. Discover how their organizations are implementing organic systems and processes to reduce waste, enhance resource efficiency, and foster a sustainable future. Don't miss this opportunity to engage in discussions at the forefront of circularity and environmental responsibility!
