Live slower, live better - Cameron Tonkinwise

Want a better future? Very quickly slow down. Create, educate and build community, says designer Cameron Tonkinwise, if we want to reduce unsustainable consumption and successfully tackle the complex, existential challenges of our time. Human-centred design, and embracing individual and cultural differences, will allow engineering practices to become adaptive and appropriate to individual circumstances, and maybe even change the world for the better... Cameron Tonkinwise is a Professor of Design Studies at the University of Technology Sydney and Director of the Design Innovation Research Centre.   Music credits: Our theme music, Anders by Blue Dot Sessions, is licensed under an attribution non-commercial licence.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
