Problems:
Overconsumption
Fast (fashion) production
linear process line
only taking from the planet, without giving back

Solutions:
Growing (yourself)
having multiple options for one design
Giving agency back to "the people" to decide for themselves what they need
Giving the design process back in the hands of the consumer
circular design
considering the earth as a part of the design process
Creating a new design process
participation design
