I believe shifting to a model of sustainability requires re-thinking how we approach many of our most basic activities—none more central than personal transit & cargo transport. Rather than a manufacturing focus on producing profitable, short-lived “consumables”, I’d like to see us return to a more traditional focus on producing durable, efficient and versatile tools for living.
