We all eat, buy stuff, spend money, move around and like to dream about the future. Change your lifestyle actions and help change the world with these 5 simple areas of action that form part of our everyday living needs and lifestyle choices.
We are all citizen designers, with the power to effect positive change through our everyday actions, no matter who we are, or where we live. The Anatomy of Action outlines the top level changes any individual can make to support the growing shift to global sustainability. There are thousands of possibilities, and we combed through them all.
The data showed that if enough people make changes in a few key areas, the global momentum of our collective action will address the pressing social and environmental issues around us. By making individual changes to what we eat, what we buy, how we invest our money, how we move and what we aspire to, we will change what and how our world works.

“The content has given me a practical way to delve into complex problems, exploring thinking far beyond my normal lines of inquiry, and to surface new areas for intervention and innovative ways of designing those interventions. Everyone who is tackling systems should learn this.”
