wind turbine blades.
But I've seen videos online of wind turbine blades being put into what we euphemistically call landfill, but was basically hundreds of acres of American prairie that was being pulled back with a backhoe.
We lay out layers and layers and layers of wind turbines and then we push the soil over the top.
That's landfill.
And it's horrible.
And how in heaven's name did anybody design a wind turbine blade to produce renewable energy that was not itself renewable?
How do we get to that?
It just blows all my fuses.
And so there are people in the world...
who are trying to design things that have a circular life.
There aren't enough of us.
And I'd like to hear more about the things that we are designing that are circular, but then I'd like to explore with you because you're obviously in this world.
How do we get to a tipping point where our consciousness has shifted to the point that designing things in a circular way is what we do rather than the exception?
So take that however you feel like.
It's quite small.
Yeah, you said you could see the spines of them, but they weren't very effective as I understood it.
Wow.
With the school, and you may not know this because you've just seen pictures, but I talk a lot to Tim Logan of the Future Learning Design podcast about the future of education.
And I just had a really generative conversation with Zineb Muhi, who set up Youth by Youth, which is an education for young people by young people podcast.
And both of them are absolutely clear that the current way we educate our young people is not fit for purpose.
