SEDA MAGAZINE SEPTEMBER ISSUE OUT NOW https://lnkd.in/eQGRwbsm This issue of SEDA Magazine invites us to look beyond the familiar, to challenge assumptions, and to embrace the complexity of our interconnected world. From envisioning a fossil-fuel-free future to rethinking the very nature of value, we traverse landscapes both physical and conceptual, seeking pathways toward a more sustainable and equitable existence. The "Big Conversation" series challenges us to imagine a world transformed. Can we truly break free from the grip of fossil fuels? What role does the bio-economy play in this transition, and are we fully aware of its implications? We delve into the intricate relationship between food and the environment, exploring how our dietary choices impact the planet and ourselves. The voices of young people resonate, demanding better housing solutions that meet both their needs and the needs of the planet. We also grapple with the complexities of rebound effects and the challenges of implementing sustainable practices. The "circle of life" for digital services offers lessons in minimizing unintended consequences, while articles on carbon trading and PAS 2035 implementation highlight the need for transparency and accountability in our pursuit of sustainability. Diana Finch's "Value Beyond Money" prompts us to reconsider the very foundations of our economic system. The Bristol Pound experiment serves as a powerful reminder that value extends far beyond monetary wealth. It underscores the importance of community, resilience, and a holistic understanding of well-being. As we explore these diverse themes, the principles of Slow Design emerge as a guiding light. The careful attention to context, collaboration, and long-term impact exemplified by the Bristol Pound resonates with SEDA's core values. #ecologicaldesign #slowdesign #circulareconomy #SustainableDesign #sustainabledesign #sustainabledesigner #sustainablearchitecture #ecodesign #greendesign #bristolpound #JustTransition #justtransition #economy #scotland #scotlandisnow #greenfuture #resilience #ResilienceBuilding #sustainablearchitect #sustainablearchitects #sustainabledesigners
