Navigating the circular economy: A conversation with Dame Ellen MacArthur

At the age of 28, in early 2005, yachtswoman Ellen McArthur achieved what was then the fastest single-handed circumnavigation of the globe, sailing more than 26,000 miles in just over 71 days. While learning how to cope with limited supplies of water, food, and fuel, MacArthur quickly discovered just how important her scarce resources were to her survival.

After consulting experts in the private and public sector, she retired from professional racing and in September 2010 launched the Ellen MacArthur Foundation with the goal of "accelerating the transition to a regenerative, circular economy." In this video interview, she explains why moving toward an economic system that retains and reuses resources makes both environmental and business sense.
