How Might We Empower Society To Move Rapidly Towards A Cleaner Future? With Constantin Schwaab, Wirelane CEO & Franz Blach, IDEO Alum: One of the most pressing questions of our time is surely, how might we protect the planet for future generations? What can we do, not just as individuals, but as a society to move to a more sustainable future that will preserve our home? The world is shifting towards more sustainable practices. Renewable energy sources and packaging are a start, but progress is too slow. The linear economy model that has been the staple of business and society to date… is a model that no longer suits. A more circular system needs to be adopted not just by large businesses and governments, but by everyone in their day to day lives. In this episode of The Big Question, Detria Williamson asks Constantin Schwaab, Wirelane CEO and Franz Blach, IDEO Alum… How might we empower society to move rapidly towards a cleaner future?
