The ensuing discussion, which was facilitated by Professor David Bresch, with the two speakers, Professor Michael Braungart and Professor Axel Haunschild, as well as Stefan Emmenger, educational scientist, focused on the human being.
“Do we need a new human being to implement your design concept?” was Stefan Emmenger’s first question to Michael Braungart. He answered: “We are not solving our current problems by continuing to think the way we have been thinking.”
Michael Braungart called for a radical shift in thinking, both with respect to the life cycles of products and the way we work. This video shows what the work scientist thought of the environmental scientist’s provocative theories.
