The Gaia Paradigm /ˈɡaɪ.ə/, also known as the Gaia theory or the Gaia principle, proposes that living organisms interact with their inorganic surroundings on Earth to form a synergistic and self-regulating, complex system that helps to maintain and perpetuate the conditions for life on the planet.

The hypothesis was formulated by the chemist James Lovelock[1] and co-developed by the microbiologist Lynn Margulis in the 1970s.[2] Lovelock named the idea after Gaia, the primordial goddess who personified the Earth in Greek mythology. In 2006, the Geological Society of London awarded Lovelock the Wollaston Medal in part for his work on the Gaia hypothesis.[3]

What I find eye-opening is a relationship between nature and the economy and how it impacts one another. Since the environment provides resources to the economy, poor environmental quality affects both economic growth and our well being by lowering the quantity and quality of resources. All processes have to work together to minimize the negative impacts that will eventually apply to all of us on every level.

The Whole Earth Catalog (WEC) was an American counterculture magazine and product catalog published by Stewart Brand several times a year between 1968 and 1972, and occasionally thereafter, until 1998.

This shirt is second hand, I don’t think anyone has heard of Surf King, but I commit to buying the most second hand as possible and only get virgin clothing when absolutely essential. I don’t buy any particular eco-responsible brand, because buying a product in itself is already a waste whether it’s a soft drink or a box of pasta, etc. However to recycle and avoid collecting as much plastic as possible by making my own food and using Tupperware made from glass instead of plastic.

I am impressed by the the increase of importance when it comes to sustainability. Back in the day companies didn't focus on creating products which were naturally sourced and producing without any waste. A main factor for that was that society didn't focus on that issue either. Companies only tried to raise their margins. However, nowadays every successful business has to consider sustainability. As more sustainable it is as more popular and successful it becomes. I understood that by looking at advertising and business branding. Brands who existed since ages now try to become contemporary by focussing on sustainability.

While sustainability has become a very important factor for running businesses, it has also become a marketing tool. Companies have known to manipulate data or twist words to show the wrong idea to increase their margins. There a lot of companies now that are accused of greenwashing. Transparency is definitely something that will help consumers make the right choice as well as government policies that support businesses who truly follow sustainable protocols.
