In an era where we want to keep our carbon footprint as low as possible, it is not appropriate to consume unbridled. How can we transform from a consumer society to a sustainable society? We need to put an end to the enormous waste that the current consumer society brings with it, but how do we achieve this? Can designers play a role in this or do they only get in the way of sustainability? And should we place the responsibility with the consumer? After flight and meat shame, isn't it time for a good portion of product shame? In the VPRO Tegenlicht episode 'The throwaway society' we tell stories of designers who make products for life, shops that repair instead of selling and consumers who cherish their belongings unconditionally.
