MASSIVE CHANGE: the world of design designing the world
The twentieth century will be chiefly remembered by future generations not as an era of political conflicts or technical inventions, but as an age in which human society dared to think of the welfare of the whole human race as a practical objective.
Arnold J. Toynbee, English historian (1889-1975)

Weâ€&#x;re all trying to move towards the stakeholder model, away from the stockholder model. In other words, a company really has responsibility not only
to its investors and shareholders but also to its consumers, its employees, the community, the environment, and future generations. Hazel Henderson, Evolutionary Economist in Massive Change, pp.136-37

For most of us, design is invisible. Until it fails.
If we are to survive as a life form on the planet, at more or less the scale of our present occupation‌ we must come to the realization that there is no exterior to our ecology. There is only one environment and everything is entered on the balance sheet. Every positive. Every negative. Everything counts.
