What you’re describing isn’t a circular economy but rather a system put in place to minimise cost and maximise output.

what i'm describing is an intricately interdependent economy. i agree that a circular one sounds better, being able to sustain a lifestyle without any foreign inputs. that doesn't change whether, at the moment, it's better that wefeed cottonseed to cows than throw it away.
