Southern Innovator Issue 5: Waste and Recycling

Description:

Southern Innovator's fifth issue tackles the theme of waste and recycling in the global South. It has unearthed radical new ways to use the Earth's resources while efficiently raising living standards for the world's majority. Waste no longer needs to pile up and pollute the environment and communities; it can be a source of wealth and provide sustainable livelihoods. Radical ways to alter how things are made, such as the production model called cradle-to-cradle, have the potential to meet human needs without harming the environment and human health. Effective use of renewable energy technologies and sources also could eliminate energy poverty in the global South, dramatically raising living standards and boosting human development.
