“Now we can do anything, but more importantly, now we have a plan.”
-Dame Ellen MacArthur’s closing sentence from her TED talk about the circular economy.
If you need some motivation to do amazing things, watch Dame Ellen MacArthur’s TED talk from 7 years ago. It will absolutely get your posterior out of your chair and into action.
If you need further evidence of her abilities, spend 60 seconds reviewing the timeline on the Ellen MacArthur Foundation website.

In 2005, Ellen MacArthur set the record for the fastest single handed lap around the world: 71 days, 14 hours, 18 minutes, and 33 seconds. The record has since been broken, but she is still the only woman to have held the record.
Ocean racing sailboats trade safety for speed. This is particularly true for trimarans (3 hulls) the type of boat that Ellen sailed. If a trimaran tips over or breaks, its all over.
There are a very small number of people on earth that have the resolve to sail one of these boats around the world, non-stop, alone.
I have no doubt that Dame Ellen MacArthur is going to figure out the circular economy. I know I will help however I can.

* this used to say FR**, but the use of the word FR** has landed this newsletter in some people’s spam folders. Or maybe FR** is a four letter word that starts with F? Anyway, thank you all for your patience as we figure out how to deliver the newsletter to you as friction fr** as possible.
