About
Talk Title: The death of consumerism and how we imagine and build a fabulous future.
Currently almost all current products and materials in our homes and cities are designed to be disposable to drive consumerism. This is causing huge plastic pollution and climate change. To address these problems we need to redesign practically everything and allowing us to replace consumerism with another less polluting economic system. This will require imagination and then the creation of new materials to remake our world – just like we always have in the history of civilization. I give examples from my research group where we are doing just this: building an imaginative research team that spans the arts, humanities and sciences and together making new materials that seem to do the impossible.
