Key Takeaways from the Day:

The Ultimate Challenge: Speaker Dr. Lorna Gold moved the audience with one powerful question: “Do we have enough?” challenging us to shift from a “more is better” mindset to one of sufficiency.

Community Power: We delved into how repair cafes and tool libraries do more than just “fix stuff”; they build vital community connections through sharing and learning.

Vintage Wisdom: We explored welcoming the wisdom of older generations to help tackle modern over-consumption.

Empowering the Next Generation: A major focus was placed on giving our youth the tools and ideas to love and protect our environment.

The goal is clear: it’s time to step away from “disposable culture” and champion a system where both people and the planet can flourish. A massive thank you to QUB and everyone who joined the conversation, let’s keep this incredible momentum going!
