All about From Business to Buttons 2017!
Al Gore took us on a wide spread exposé of technological possibilities – and got us all googling spider goats and twittering cows – before settling on sustainability issues.
He noted there are three questions left for climate change:
- Do we have to change? – Yes!
- Can we change? – Yes!
- Will we change? -– Well, I’m optimistic.
He noted that the last question begs for design solutions: "Design and designers can make a tremendous difference”.
And we’d better get to working on the problem, Gore spurs us on: "There is no plan B, and there is no planet B. We are winning but it matters a lot how fast we are winning, and I’m worried we are not winning fast enough!”
