Driven by the neighboring wastewater facility, it receives sludge from the plant and uses it to generate fertilizer for agriculture and nourish a vast, newly planted poplar forest. Stretching for 140 acres, the plantation is claimed to offset CO2 emissions while absorbing nutrients from the water utility.

As the population booms, we are draining the Earth’s resources in a linear "take, make, waste" economy. We are in a transitional time, when the world is awakening to the urgency of needing solutions for living sustainably on our planet—and realizing that this linear model is unsustainable. The concept of the circular economy, in which we are frugal with resources and recycle endlessly, is emerging as a way to a better future. It requires changing our mindset—to see waste as a resource and avoid creating trash in the first place. These were taken on assignment for "The End of Trash," a forthcoming cover story for the magazine. Follow me @lucalocatelliphoto to see the most promising examples of confronting the climate crisis.
