Have you ever pondered over how our individual choices, like the food we eat, the car we drive, or even the design of our homes, send ripples through the environment?
Our guest, Joe Morris, Founding Director of Morris & Company Architects and an advocate for veganism, takes us on a journey through his experiences with veganism and how it influenced his philosophy towards sustainable architecture and place. We explore the ethics and principles of veganism and delve into how it shapes our interactions with our environment, fellow humans, and animals.
In an age where we're striving to create lasting impacts and drive positive changes, it's important to remember that change often begins at home. As consumers, our choices can be a powerful catalyst for change - from disconnecting our homes from gas systems to opting for slower travel instead of flying. Joe challenges us to shift our perspectives and to make more sustainable choices. This episode is a testament to the significant role that finding the right people, getting the message out, and forging a pathway towards sustainable living can play.
In our pursuit of sustainable living, we must also address the importance of sustainable building projects. From major regeneration works to the reuse of buildings, we examine how as architects and developers, we can contribute towards a more sustainable future. Join us as we grapple with existential questions surrounding sustainability in design and how thoughtful decision-making can lead to a more sustainable society. Be prepared to challenge your norms and gain insights that could reshape your daily choices and their impact on the environment.
