Blackwell & Ruth

This International Day of Zero Waste, it’s a reminder that small shifts in thinking can lead to meaningful change.

In HUMAN NATURE: PLANET EARTH IN OUR TIME Ed. by Geoff Blackwell and Ruth Hobday, Richard John Seymour reflects on the systems behind what we consume and the consequences that often feel far removed from our everyday lives.

As he puts it: “The thought-process behind the way we design the things that we use has to extend beyond not only their manufacture, not only their use, but also what we do with them afterwards.”

A timely prompt to think not just about what we use, but what we leave behind.
