Some quotes from a presentation I did on #solarpunk and design last year:

The average person will now spend 90% of their life indoors (US data).

This happens even though we know that a lack of exposure to sunlight is causing low energy levels, problems sleeping and depression.

When sunlight on our screens disrupts our work and we stand up to pull the curtains, shutting out the sunlight, it is a testament to our resistance to nature – in service of the machines.

We must admit that we will never be able to live independently from the other elements of nature, such as animals, plants and even microorganisms.

Spending time in real, actual nature should be part of your design process.

Compassion is not fostered in front of a screen.

And if you want to do the exercise that accompanied it:

Imagine future where the phones of today are long gone but we still have technology that supports communication in favor of universal wellbeing and community support

What values are driving your design work?
What aspects of the world "before" were reformed, transformed or abolished to arrive in this new reality?
What is technology-supported communication like in this future?
