Very insightful! I come from an Industrial Design background and I want to change the world through Design, but after spending months in the Philippines, I saw the weaknesses/shortage of addressing issues on a product level. Now I’m pivoting towards urban planning to have a more birds-eye-view of things and I really hope it offers a fresh insight for global problems that I want to solve.

The circular design and cradle to cradle both have real potential but I agree, in that unless we figure out the economic part of the problem, we’ll hardly make a dent.
