Explores a growing movement among designers to design low-cost solutions for the poor of the world, the 90% who cannot afford many things.

Introduces approaches to design that draw inspiration from nature, summon the human imagination and create outcomes which are environmentally responsible and socially just, as well as meaningful and enriching at a personal level.

Outlines a sustainable approach to both the practice and the consumption of design.

Envision the next step in the solution to our ecological crisis: We don't just use or reuse and recycle resources with greater effectiveness, we actually improve the natural world as we live, create, and build.
