To Hell With Sustainability (and Screw Progress, too)!!!
World famous environmental thinker and author Colin Beavan aka No Impact Man argues for a new better, aspirational definition of progress. Should, for example, we be looking for ways to make junk food containers compostable? Or should we instead be putting our energy into getting the already-compostable apple into inner-city kids' hands? We should not just be aiming to "sustain" our current way of life. Our crises provide us with the chance to find a way of life that is both better for the planet and better for us. An especially interesting talk for business and designers looking to make the world not less bad but more good.
