This echoes the Ellen MacArthur Foundation's 2016 warning of more plastic than fish by 2050.

The study confirms a circular economy for plastic is the only way to tackle waste at its source. This vision already unites over 850 organizations. Find out more here.

Our brains are wired for the familiar, but changing this wiring can transform your life. Neuroscientist Nicole Vignola explains how deeply rooted beliefs, often shaped by upbringing and natural biases like negativity and confirmation, can limit our potential and keep us trapped in old thought patterns.

However, our brains are capable of change at any age. By practicing metacognition—observing our thoughts—and challenging automatic beliefs, we can rewire our perceptions and create empowering new narratives. This approach helps us break free, fostering a mindset for human optimization, health, and peak performance. Read more from Nicole Vignola here.
