UNDERSTANDING THE NEED FOR CHANGE
January 30, 2023
The question is: How can we operate and provide individuals the chance to live a more environmentally friendly lifestyle? How can we contribute individually while simultaneously changing big systems?
The simple answer is: Humans intervened and individually contributed to the harm, thus they HAVE to be part of the solution.
Adopting a Planet Centric approach means that our responsibility as engineers, designers, and manufacturers is to create and produce better solutions for society that fit within the Earth’s boundaries. Moreover, the responsibility of YOU as a consumer is to look for and purchase these solutions to reduce your footprint and increase the quality of your life.
Environmental Issues have been significantly rising the past 30 years. Most of us consider them as being either very broad to the point that they might not affecting as on a day-to-day basis, or too complicated that we just ignore them.
It is completely normal to not be entirely motivated to make drastic changes just because there are “environmental issues” affecting the planet. We still, as a community need to provide simpler platforms that directly speak to an audience with limited awareness of how detrimental these issues are.
