Testimonials
But why do we exceed the boundaries? The key reasons lie in material flows and ecosystem interventions. We consume too many resources, too much material, toxic materials, and too much energy. But it is not just the sheer quantity that causes gigantic problems; it is also the nature of materials. We need to dematerialise, and material flows need to become less toxic.
