I believe that technologies and innovations that are based on new paradigms such as systems thinking, living systems, regenerative design, conscious business, etc. will play a critical role in helping us build a better world. But we must remember Einstein’s famous warning that “we can’t solve problems by using the same kind of thinking we used when we created them.”

Best,
Beatrice

I was remembering a piece I got a few years ago – the footprint of a cheeseburger – in the context of a particular product.

The amount of H2O required to wash the beans before they get dried and shipped to us is huge. Is that the water you were referring to?

We do not know the solutions to many issues and as you point out, what seems relevant and right today, maybe irrelevant or wrong in the future. Hopefully technology, spurred by the actions we take now, will enable new and better ways to co-exist with each other and our environment.
