The document discusses the transition from a linear to a circular economy, using renewable resources and recycling materials. It gives examples of biomass sources and biogas production through composting manure. Biogas is a mixture of gases, including methane, that is produced during the breakdown of organic matter and can be used for energy purposes. The document asks if readers would try filling a balloon with biogas and calculates the carbon footprint of a daily commute in terms of trees.

From linear to circular economy
From cowboy to spaceman economy (Kenneth Boulding, 1966) the cowboy being symbolic of the illimitable plains and also associated with reckless, exploitative, romantic, and violent behavior the earth has become a single spaceship, without unlimited reservoirs of anything, either for extraction or for pollution, and in which man must find his place in a cyclical ecological system which is capable of continuous reproduction of material form
