CATALYZING the Conversation | In this issue, we re-imagine our relationship with our material world. The desire for more is deeply designed into modern material cultures. The design of our desires requires some re-thinking. It is time to look at the way we consume objects, experiences and our world. We are disrupting and deregulating the rhythms that stabilize our climate and establish the seasons upon which the planting cycles of the world’s people depend. This has consequences. They are designed in. They can also be designed out.
