BUST MORE ECO-MYTHS
Greenwashing is all about , showing one thing that distracts you from what is really going on. The main issue we see is that greenwashing takes up valuable space in the fight against significant environmental issues like climate change, plastic ocean pollutions, air pollution and global species extinctions. The saddest thing is that many companies do it by accident, as they don’t have the expertise to know what is truly environmentally beneficial, and what is not.
We are approaching a critical time in which more organizations and individuals are adopting sustainable design and zero waste living practices, and entire communities are banning disposable plastics, It’s important to be able to quickly identify instances of greenwashing, and replace them with truly sustainable practices both as a consumer and as an employee (which the UnSchool sustainability course covers in more detail). Tools such as life cycle assessment allow organisations to understand what is going on when they make changes and to ensure that if they make claims about the eco credentials that they are validated, not just assumed.

THIS IS A TIME OF ABUNDANT OPPORTUNITIES.
We all can be change agents in considering and designing sustainable outcomes in the world around us that affect systemic wellbeing — socially, economically, and environmentally. When we frame sustainability as a practice that helps us create a future that we’re excited about living in, we generate optimism about solving complex problems (which is what’s required to truly tackle these issues!).
Pair that with creative thinking, knowledge of systems and life cycle thinking, and a foundation built on what sustainable design in practice really looks like, and we’ll have tangible outcomes that are positively disrupting the status quo and affecting change. The key here is for more people to adopt the tools of change, not just follow along with the trends, but be willing to do the work to understand what needs to change.
[해석]
우리는 모두 사회적, 경제적, 환경적으로 시스템의 웰빙에 영향을 미치는 세상 속에서 지속 가능한 결과를 고민하고 설계하는 변화의 주체가 될 수 있습니다. 지속 가능성을 우리가 살고 싶은 미래를 만들어가는 하나의 실천으로 바라볼 때, 우리는 복잡한 문제를 해결하는 데 필요한 낙관주의를 키울 수 있습니다. 이는 진정으로 이러한 문제들을 해결하기 위해 꼭 필요한 자세입니다.
여기에 창의적 사고, 시스템과 생애주기 사고에 대한 이해, 그리고 실제 지속 가능한 디자인이 어떻게 구현되는지에 대한 기반 지식을 더하면, 기존의 방식을 긍정적으로 흔들고 변화를 이끄는 실질적인 결과를 만들어낼 수 있습니다. 여기서 핵심은 더 많은 사람들이 변화의 도구들을 채택하는 것입니다. 단순히 유행을 따르기보다는, 무엇이 변화되어야 하는지를 이해하기 위한 노력을 기꺼이 하려는 자세가 필요합니다.
