A greener textile industry. Re-cycling, re-inventing methods of design and consumption. Permaculture - This interests me a lot as a philosophy but I would like anyone who knows anything to tell me more about how...Technology and the body............ the increasing integration of......... the future ...... pushing new boundries of design and technology in design ........cats - when im really old i want to have lots of cats and multi coloured dreads and be rather eccentric.

Gaia - the living organism that is the Earth. Its simply incredible this planet. James Lovelock aka mr. gaia hypothesis read his books they'll change your vision of the planet you live on.
Yes! Global warming is real and it is now about us adapting to it pronto. Cutting carbon emissions by 20% by 2020 is NOT GOING TO DO VERY MUCH! its all about being in the moment, here and now is the time. There are many simple things we can all do to lower our carbon footprints. turning off lightswitches, buying energy efficent light bulbs.... taking showers.... buying organic and/or local and i must say clothing wise there is some fabulous 2nd hand clothes out there. If you're in London check out the salvation army in oxford circus just off hanover square and the red cross shop off the brompton road near south kensington. Brilliant vintage and the money goes towards a good cause! You can also find out your carbon footprint ... just google what's my carbon footprint? ........ no really, do.
by the way remember guys "you can't do business on a dead planet"
