Today it’s cool, tomorrow it’s junk
We have to act against our throwaway culture
"...Simply having more stuff stopped making people happier years ago. We need new business models based on products and services that last – products designed to be maintained, upgraded and easily repaired, and which can be leased or shared, giving them multiple lives in the hands of multiple users. It’s a new vision for an “experience-heavy, material-light” sensibility that increases the quality and longevity of our relationships with material things, and which demonstrates why design can – and must – lead the transition to a sustainable future." (Guardian, 2 August 21)
