In this episode, we unpack the 5 elements of Sustainability 5.0: Spirit, Earth, Ancient Wisdom, Community, and Self. Together these 5 elements form what we believe are the foundational pillars for holistic sustainability for design. Through this episode we briefly explore each of these elements, what they mean, alongside examples of these elements in practice.
This episode is here to act as a guide and overview of the 5 elements before we delve deeper into each one individually in later episodes.
