"People were starting to talk more about sustainability, but I felt it lacked a human factor. Can we really call $5,000 bamboo coffee tables sustainable?" Since founding the humanitarian design network Project H Design in January 2008, Emily Pilloton has been involved with dozens of projects tackling social and environmental problems. They range from developing water transportation devices for use in Africa, to helping homeless people in San Francisco design things to sell, and repairing school furniture in rural Mexico. Even as a product design student, Ms. Pilloton felt skeptical about conventional approaches to design and is now trying to redefine sustainable design.

Imagine a world where money was no longer the means of exchange of services but rather love and enthusiasm as its primary exchange. A world full of love and so much diversity that each individual’s enthusiasm became the driving force behind one’s life work and one’s life work was as distinctive as one’s own fingerprint. A world where every job and every service had its own caretaker that performed its tasks with so much love and care they freely wanted to giveaway these services. Tell me? What would this world look like? A world of harmony and service where all needs were met and provided by someone that was just as equally grateful to give as well as they were ready to receive. A world of haves without the not’s. A world of abundance without the lack. A world of love without the suffering. Can you imagine this?
