大学で環境の研究をしている先生と話をすると、持続可能な社会のために大切なキーワードは循環だという。物質的には炭素・チッ素・リンをいかに循環させるからしい。そういえば経済も循環だと習った記憶があるし、そういう世の中になるといいと思う。しかしこの半世紀は効率重視で消費や使い捨ての時代だった。今後循環が主流の考え方になるには危機感だけでなく、何かワクワクするものが付加されるといいのだろうなぁ。（絵と文：サカキテツ朗）

Talking to a professor who studies the environment at university, he says that the important keyword for a sustainable society is circulation. In terms of material, it is because of how carbon, nitrogen, and phosphorus are circulated. By the way, I remember learning that the economy is also a cycle, and I hope it will be in such a world. However, this half century has been an era of consumption and disposables with an emphasis on efficiency. In order for circulation to become the mainstream way of thinking in the future, it would be nice to add something exciting as well as a sense of crisis. -Text and illustration by Ted Sakaki
