CTN introduces new local series focused on Stories of Circularity
A new series, “Making the Old New: Stories of Circularity,” is coming to CTN. The program, produced with both the City of Ann Arbor ‘s CTN and the Office of Sustainability and Innovations, will premiere this fall on CTN Channel 16 and the CTN website.
The series will focus on what the Circular Economy looks like in action.
The Circular Economy is all around us in Ann Arbor and beyond. From reuse, repair, sharing, lending, swapping, refurbishing, or composting, many businesses and organizations are actively giving valuable materials – clothes, furniture, electronics, food – a new life, instead of tossing them in the trash. Some have also been engaged in sourcing material, growing, and making local, as well as selling in bulk or offering refill services to reduce the use of single-use packaging and plastics.
Episodes of the Stories of Circularity series will include inspiring stories featuring businesses and organization owners of color who draw on family traditions that remind us that “Circular Economy” is a way of talking about things that many communities have always done. Their experience teaches us how to bring those practices back to life on a larger community scale!
