"Don't do things today that make tomorrow worse."

Designers in society need to ponder on sustainability. How does this effect us and the earth? How can we bring the earth back or create new ways to increase efficiency and performance of our objects and systems?

I believe that the competition of who can make the better product is destroying our planet. We don't need five hundred different styled toasters or three different versions of the iphone, we just need one that works well. Instead of working against each other, we should work with one another to produce the ultimate product. If we could find a way that can work for everyone besides just pleasing one person, we could eliminate the need for being the best producer, resulting in a more sustainable planet. We'll being using less material, handling financial needs more properly, and at the same time having plenty of ideas from everyone.

Designers affect our society and how we work, function, and live. Many people think that designers don't really play a big role in their personal life, but if they think about it, we're part of their everyday world and every tomorrow.
