Exploring Seattle's Circular City Transition

Circular Cities 2030

—Our World in Crisis—


Global Climate Change, Sea-Level Rise,  Resource Depletion, Ecosystems  Crashing, Species Extinction and Growing Inequalities are just some of  the challenges confronting us today as a species. 

Temperatures are rising! 

Ice caps are melting!

Will we be proactive or reactive?



THE SCIENCE IS IN:

under our current "linear" global economy we have lost, through the process of resource extraction and resulting environmental degradation, upwards to 68% of all wildlife and wild places on Earth in just the last 51 years (1970-2021).

The big challenge now is: 

"Can we reverse this trend?"

Ref: 2020 WWF World Living Report 


Researching and reporting on the reality of climate change and species extinction is hard. Living life as if  nothing has changed once a lesson is learned is even harder. 

If  we are  willing to take the science seriously, then we must begin to act as global citizens, committing ourselves on every level possible towards the total redesign of just about everything our modern economy has to offer. This is a daunting challenge and many of us are asking the same questions: 


"How are we going to transform the global economy without a bloody revolution? How can we actively engage every person alive in the urgency of this moment? 

What are we going to do?" 


And then it happened - Covid19/The Coronavirus 

For the first time in modern history our global economy has been disrupted. How can we use this moment in history as a catalyst to accelerate change on a unprecedented level through spontaneous collaboration, dedicating our collective action towards the total redesign of just about  everything our modern economy has to offer? The scope and vision needed to solve these problems seem insurmountable and yet, as reality has it written in its very code: 

if we can conceive of a plan of action, we can make it happen! 


THE RACE TO ZERO IS ON:

We have seven-more-years to halve global green house emissions! 

Let's make this transition fun!


What if we could accelerate the global circular economy transition, facilitate the rapid decarbonization our global energy infrastructure,  

and regenerate life on Earth with a global world fair event?

What if we could make this transition fun?


Since its inception in  1791, The World Fair has awed and inspired an anticipating public. It has been a conduit introducing the wonders of  invention to the world of now—from the steam engine to  mass assembly lines, The World Fair offers us a glimpse of the world of tomorrow, today. 


It is now our time to set into motion a new co-creative chain-reaction

Circular Seattle will help  set the stage 

for the global world fair event 

"Circular Cities 2030"

"We are going to redesign everything!"

THE WORLD FAIR AS a tool FOR ECONOMIC & URBAN REGENERATIon

What is a Circular Economy?

A Circular Economy is an Industrial System based on these principles:


Design Out Waste & Pollution

Keep Material Flows Circulating

Regenerate Earth Eco-Systems

What is a Circular City?

Circular Cities are the  Applied Logistics of a Circular Economy.

Circular Cities are Bioregions of Industry & Trade.

A Circular City is Co-Creative & Inclusive by Design

Material Flows in a Circular Economy

     A circular economy seeks to rebuild capital, including financial, manufactured, human, social or natural. This ensures enhanced flows of goods and services. The system diagram below illustrates the  continuous flow of technical and biological materials:
