Video by @lucalocatelliphoto | This buzzing swarm is comprised of millions of soldier flies swirling around a breeding chamber at London-based start-up Entocycle that's producing insect protein powder as a substitute for meat and for other products. Workers wear gas masks when inspecting the chamber, as the odorous "lures"—on which the insects lay their eggs—make the air unbreathable.
Once the eggs hatch, the larvae will gain up to 5,000 times their body weight in two weeks—while feeding on leftovers from beer, bread, and coffee production. The company founders say that raising insects on food waste is key to reducing the enormous amount of nutrients we throw away, while providing an alternative protein to livestock and fish.

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.
