“You never change things by fighting the existing reality. To change something, build a new model that makes the existing model obsolete.” – Buckminster Fuller

“The future is not some place we are going, but one we are creating. The paths are not to be found, but made. And the activity of making them changes both the maker and their destination.” – John Schaar

“Sustainability is a process, not some kind of utopian end event. It’s about creating financial and social wealth and well-being without trashing ourselves and the planet.”
– Rob Abbott
