HAVE DO BE

Older Western Economic Cultural Model 1“You have to have money to make money to do what you love in order to be who you are supposed to be.”

BE DO HAVE

Newer Economic Cultural Model 2 We are Designing To“Be who you are now and in the doing of it you will redefine what having is to you.”

Designing To New Behaviors: From The Gap Foundation, Bobbi Silten and Bono on Project Red

Please note that gen dates can vary from study to study. Generation work we do in Asia, Europe and South America have different breakdowns and yet the common denominator between countries and the common divide between generationsworldwide is the use of technology.

Stereotype: SlackerActually: Life FocusRebellion: Through The Senses vs.Accomplishment. Our Current Music, Culinary and Spa Culture is a Result.

Gift/Challenge: ‘I will not overlook friends and family as my parents did.’Desire to live closer to self and work differently has been misunderstood. Creative Culture is a brilliantresult of this generation spending more time exploring life and expression within culture.

Stereotype: MaterialisticActually: Idealistic ProvidersRebellion: Freedom to do it Bigger/Better

Gift/Challenge: ‘My children will not suffer as I did’ leads to overworking.Focus on larger movements of idealistic changeusurped by advertising media into a competitivewhat is ‘in’ or ‘out’, ‘bigger’ or ‘better resulting in unknowingly creating BIG government/corporation.

Explaining the Behavioral “Evolution”

An early Steve Jobs (80s) kicks off grunge, Daniel Coleman helps us understand ourselves andand our emotions in the late 90s, Daniel Pink brings the future home as he ushers in the 00s creative culture.

Other influencers:70s-80s Architecture glut creates mall & retail boom/consumption, 80s-90s graphic designer glut print and web boom resulting in the web boom, 90s-00s product designer glut creates focus onbranding and making meaning through design.

Innovators: Tagging Your Trash To The Landfill

the Trash|Track project, done in partnership with Waste Management, looks at the “removal-chain”. Supply chain has become increasingly efficient (and well-documented), but waste management is not. -Invited members of the Seattle community to tag their garbage and the researchers than tracked its movement.-Currently have ~2,000 objects tagged and expect to tag another 1,000. The early results are now on display as a show at the Seattle Public Library. -An awareness of where your garbage actually ends up could have great impact on changing behavior.

Innovators: Biochar, Refeeding A Depleted Earth

Jason Aramburu, is the founder of re:char, which is developing solutions to fight climate change. -Current efforts all have their limitations, says Aramburu. Aramburu was working on “clean coal”, when he realized that that term was really an oxymoron. -This lead him to create a substance called Biochar, a substance that is a by-product of agriculture (husks, stems, etc.): basically charcoal made from natural waste products.-Biochar also acts as a great soil amendment and helps reduce the amount of CO2 in the air. It feeds the depleted soilsMankind has drained quickly and completely.

Innovators: Challenging Styrofoam

Eben Beyer, a 2009 Poptech Fellow, is the CEO of Ecovative Design, which seeks to address the issue of how to reduce the usage of styrofoam (or as Beyer calls it, “toxic white stuff”). Styrofoam takes up more landfill space than other other waste product and its by-product, styrene, is seeping into our environment through landfills and polluted waterways.New materials need to be created that have less environmental impact and take less energy to produce. Beyer’s vision is to use the naturally-occurring mycelium (from the roots of mushrooms) and replace styrofoam with 100% compostable material. With this material, 10 times less CO2 is emitted in the atmosphere. Beyer invites everyone to send pictures of unnecessary use of styrofoam to stop@toxicwhitestuff.com in an effort to raise awareness about this issue.

Innovators: Art And The Oceanic Trash Patch

Chris Jordan is a photographer whose work documents consumerism and its aftermath. -Photographs the giant garbage patch and creates art to bring it home and make it real to consumers-Used 2.4 million pieces of destructive oceanic plastic from the giant garbage patch to create a massive-scale recreation of a portrait of the ocean. The plastic in the ocean is destroying habitat and killing wildlife in one of the most remote regions of the world.

Innovators: Dirt Powered Battery

2009 Poptech Fellows Aviva Presser Aiden and Hugo Van Vuuren are the creators of Lebone, a dirt-powered battery. The battery, which was created for the base of the pyramid population, uses microbial fuel cells to generate energy. The batteries can currently power an LED light, and the goal is to soon be able to also power radios and cell phones.

Innovators: Nike Considered Design

Lorrie Vogel works for Nike’s Considered team. As General Manager, she’s leading Nike’s research in sustainable product design.  We are moving to a new economy, a “green economy”, which has no roadmap. So how does a big company like Nike do it?Nike’s first area of focus was reducing their footprint and the amount of waste. They’ve reduced their waste 50% in the past ten years. They’ve also focused on energy use and removing toxics from their products. Reducing your footprint, says Vogel, will never get you to a “green economy”. That needs to be done at the product level: they were at first inspired to try and create a shoe that you could plant in the ground and it would biodegrade. Their second thought was to try and make a product that would last forever. But from a human nature standpoint, that wouldn’t work and the products would ultimately end up in a landfill.

Innovators: Greening Hometown Heroes

PopTech Fellows: Taylor Stuckert and Mark Rembert2009 PopTech Fellow Taylor Stuckert, co-founder and Mark Rembert of Energize Clinton County founded their program when their hometown was impacted by massive layoffs. After living away for several years, they both returned to their town with “fresh eyes”; wanting to help the town rediscover its place in the world. They wrote a letter to the editor (which is what, they joke, people do in small towns) about going green that instilled the town with a sense of purpose. Now over 90 businesses are participating in ways to buy local, helping to weatherize homes and solving for themselves problems that are putting them at the forefront of green efforts.Energize Clinton County is looking to form partnerships

INFLUENCERS: Creative Reinvention of Fashion

New York Fashion Week's Costello Tagliapietra Spr/Su high fashion debut of AirDye uses 88-95% less water than typical textile industry water consumption.  AirDye is a process of dying synthetic materials that deposits color inside -- as opposed to on it. Proprietary dyes are transferred from recycled paper onto fabric using heat, used dyes and toners are recycled into tar and asphalt. Used for dying chiffon, chintz, jersey, satin, and any fabric made with synthetic fibers; customized to any color or design, and also for printing reversible fabrics. The greenest option is to use AirDye on recycled fabrics. From Transprint, Colorep, Inc.

INFLUENCERS: Creative Reinvention of Fashion

BEYOND FIBER TRENDS and manufacturers making a switch to organic cotton, or creating fabrics from natural, easily-renewable materials like bamboo or hemp. All important but very little attention has been paid to the the dyeing process, which can be a potentially devastating industry when it comes to chemicals, waste, and water usage. AirDye, a new method created by Colorep for dyeing textiles takes water almost out of the equation, using 90% less water, but also reducing the emissions and energy used by 85%.

But beyond giving high-end designers a high-performance, highly-sustainable option, AirDye is poised to shake up larger-volume fashion brands as well. The technology removes the risk factor for retailers who can now dye-on-demand, helping them manage their inventory. It eliminates waste in an industry where--believe it or not--clothing that's deemed no longer sellable is actually trucked to landfills. And thanks to the way the dye is applied, clothing could actually be recycled.

INFLUENCERS: Creative Reinvention of Fashion

Conclusion and The FutureWhile becoming efficiency focused and tech aggregate focused, we must not forget about becoming real as humans, not losing touch with ourselves or our emotions and what our mission is in terms of peace. Removing want without stressing earthy resources is the road to peace.

There is enough for everyone on this planet. We simply need to manage smartly and wisely.

A shift to energy sources from abundant materials such as sand, dirt, wind and water will prevent the 6th great extinction and will prevent further wars being fought over resources.

A focus on education of girls worldwide is now being seen as a major solution driver in preventing over population and seeding generational global care.
