Introduction to the secrets behind the innovative concept of the circular economy

Let’s imagine a future in which humanity not only survives, but rethinks old patterns and accepts the fact that the earth’s resources are limited. Against this backdrop, “Going Circular” explores the secrets of the circular economy – an innovative economic system based on the principle of waste minimisation and the sustainable conservation of our planet’s resources.

Bruno Manser’s legacy lives on

20 years after the mysterious disappearance of Bruno Manser in Borneo, his legacy lives on. Manser’s former comrades-in-arms and an investigative journalist continue his campaign against deforestation. Using unusual methods, the group uncovers a global corruption network that reaches from the Malaysian government to Swiss banks and finally brings down a powerful opponent.

Membership level

A membership is possible at any time. It is valid until the end of the year (registrations in November and December are valid for the following year as well).

Membership Plus

As a “Plus” member, you automatically become a sponsor of a 1 square metre young forest and natural C0₂ store.

With every new “Membership Plus” we support the reforestation of a former oil tank farm site (Chance Natur project by Pro Natura Zurich).

The 9,000 m² area where an oil tank terminal once stood is just waiting to come back to life. Soon the area low in nutrients will be planted with pine and birch trees. Experience first-hand how the young forest gradually grows into an important C0₂ sink and habitat.

Membership Plus costs CHF 30.- more than a regular membership.
