This week has shown the value of a dollar in terms of sustainably . In The Designers Atlas to Sustainability, by Thorpe, it states "Sustainability carries on indefinitely, for a very long term. Yet our culture is dominated by 'short termism.'" From a culture who values items instead of livelihood, we do not think what we possess at this moment may not matter if the world seizes to exist.
I sort of look at humanity as a virus. We live to consume and destroy. Sadly, we will me an inevitable fate of killing ourselves if we do not change the way we look at earth. The variation of the virus, also know as public, private, and not-for-profit, keep us in check.
What I want to take from this week is the ability to educate not only me, but my fellow peers. I want to learn about different companies who are not money hungry. The companies who understand mother earth isn't immortal. These companies aren't hard to find, being there are a variety. From resale shops, to retailers reusing used fibers; they are everywhere.
