What is recycled and what is not?
What is recycling? Recycling garbage is a process that helps reduce pollution and that consists of reusing elements and materials that, instead of becoming waste, can return to their useful life. Best of all, it is an excellent way to help the environment , and we can put it into practice on our own.

The Paper Bag
The paper bag is a shopping icon. consumers use 20% of the paper bags manufactured to carry bought goods in. Every year, they cut fourteen million trees down to produce the demand retailers have for the ten billion bags that are used. Each bag costs the store four cents to produce. They may take more energy and resources to make than plastic, but at least the resources are renewable and they can biodegrade faster than plastic. Here are some useful doomsday uses for those extra bags.

Everyone is Iron Man
Subtle as it is, you can tell something is strange about the way Professor Hugh Hull walks. At the MIT media Lab, the professor is something of a legend. He started climbing at the age of seven and had both legs amputated in a climbing accident when he was 17. Before, he was considered one of the best mountaineers in America, and then doctors gave him a prosthetic leg and told him, you can never climb mountains again.

Sustainability, ESG and climate change concerns are reshaping investment
Climate change is impacting businesses and societies around the world, making climate risk and sustainability a top priority for companies in all industries. Climate risk is transforming markets and redesigning capital allocation, investments, and growth strategies. Sustainability transactions more than tripled in value in 2021 to $164 billion (Refinitiv). Based on market analysis and trends observed over the last 5 years, the transition to “green growth” represents an historic investment opportunity which in our opinion will be bigger that the internet boom of 1990s. We believe that at least $5 trillion annually will be invested in sustainability by 2025. This represents the largest capital reallocation in history. At the same time, approximately $12 trillion worth of assets will have to be retired or phased out to comply with new ESG and carbon reduction regulations.
