Many hands make light work! 

​

Open source learning can help accelerate the development and uptake of circular solutions can be shared to help create a sustainable world!

 

Would you like to participateDo you have experience, skills or resources that might help make an open source platform a a reality? 

​

If you are an organisation, researcher or individual trying to find sustainable solutions to the puzzles of waste, energy, food and water and think there may be synergy with what we're doing, we'd like to hear from you.

In nature, symbiosis is everywhere; take lichen, the partnership of alga and fungi, enabling both organisms to live almost anywhere; or protozoans living inside termites, helping them digest wood; and of course bees on flower pollination duty.

 

Collaboration helps the world go round. As humans, we evolve faster and think smarter when we work together and bridge disciplines. Working in isolation can often result in the same mistakes being made over and over again.
