Sustainability, Wildness and Design?

Hey boys. So this is a blob that my best friend/brother mike introduced me to. You may remember him from my party back in November of last year when Katherine was visiting. Either way, he has been working on living 'sustainably' but for real.

A good friend of his from denman island where he was living this summer lives his life under the philosophy of 're-wilding.' An interesting concept related to the domestication of every aspect of our surrounding world and how this rarely gives us the long term benefits that we imagine. The blog is written by his brother and can explain the concept much better than I am.

I am posting it to show you some things have entered my realm of imagination lately and started considering what implications this notion has for design.

read the post entitled 'sustainability and wildness' first but i recommend a skim over all of it, pretty interesting stuff really.
