To eliminate waste, we need to rediscover thrift | Andrew Dent | TED Talk

Andrew Dent says there’s no such thing as throwing something away in his TED Talk “To eliminate waste, we need to rediscover thrift.” He discusses the concept of thrift--the idea of using and reusing what you need so you don’t have to purchase anything new--and some exciting innovations in thrift that might help us with sustainability and slowing climate change. While we often think of thriftiness from a consumer standpoint, Dent also shares how we can be more thrifty in construction and manufacturing--where much of our waste comes from.
