Continuous INPUT of resources to create products and OUTPUT of chemical
substances, a linear relationship between these two are to be the basis of
increasing the negative environmental impact on the Earth. In the future, if
natural resources are to be depleted the we won’t be able to continue our
normal business activities. We wonder if there is a way to avoid running out
of resources as opposed to such linear activities.
