So, if you want it then reflect it." Tony Gaskins.

- It's all about choices. "What you buy reflects who you are or who you want to be."

- Asking what is behind the product. "It's not where products are made, it's how they are made."

He experiences himself, his thoughts, and feelings, as something separated from the rest—a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circles of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty.” Albert Einstein

"How your business actions and decisions are when you're at the forefront of providing services or bringing products to market, and what impact that will have for future generation."

Making something useable again and again can help it be sustainable.

"Design thinking provides a third way to look at problems. It's essentially a problem-solving approach which has crystallized in the field of design to combine a holistic user-centered perspective with rational and analytical research — all with the goal to create innovative solutions - Tim Brown". 

“Design can help to improve our lives in the present. Design thinking can help us chart a path into the future.”
― Tim Brown, Change by Design: How Design Thinking Transforms Organizations and Inspires Innovation.

Instead, we've got to figure out ways of keeping these materials and resources in the system for much longer, and have them be much more valuable. 

- Circuler Economy - How we can make these materials reusable again and again.
