CHANGING THE GAME
IS NOT THAT DIFFICULT
Improving the world and evolving to a new stage of human development is actually not impossible. But overcoming our own weaknesses and vices is key to move to the next level.
We are on the brink of the so-called Fourth Industrial Revolution, but if we want it to substantially improve our human society, we have also to rethink many areas, like education, economy, religion and finances, basically the way we live and work.
Sounds like a big thing? It’s not. There are already plenty of ideas right on the table. Get acquainted with the topics below, find inspiration in our projects, or think of solutions yourself.
THE TOP 5 MOST POLLUTING INDUSTRIES, AND HOW WE CAN IMPROVE THEM!
1. CONSTRUCTION
Concrete is the most spread construction material that uses a lot of energy to be produced and transported, but it is not lasting very long either. That’s why each building, bridge, or highway built today will last no more than a generation while the Egyptian pyramids and the medieval castles will outlive most of us humans.
The solution: Get ready to live and work in #WoodenSkyscrapers! Or in homes made from durable and eco-friendly #HempCrete. And drive on roads from #RecycledPlastic. Sounds futuristic? No. The technology exists — the pioneers just need to implement it.
2. FOOD
Holy cow! How hungry we got in the developed countries. We are literally eating our way through life. And the meat industry is the second large carbon producer on the planet. Accompanied by sugar, alcohol and cigarettes even the round the year available fruits and vegetables cannot help us to keep a healthy diet.
The solution: We need mandatory Food Education in schools. Kids and grown ups have to know where their daily calories come from. We need conscious consumers that know what they buy. Nutrition has a huge impact on our health and can help saving billions on health insurances. And it does not have to be avocados, cashews and salmon every day either.
3. CONSUMER GOODS
You name it, fashion, smartphones and black Fridays. While planned obsolescence was originally invented to help overcome the big recession, today most products does are outdated, brake apart or stop working within a few months — just to keep the factories busy. In some work robots, and in some work kids with toxic chemicals. A lot to rethink here as well.
The solution: Produce goods that last decades. Make them easy to fix, easy to upgrade, easy to recycle. Make them like a piece of Art. Make them expensive. Compete not in lower prices, but in better products. We from the 士 THE GOOD ONE movement created a hemp and steel apparel line — SAM士RAI — for good people and good causes. And you can do such products too!
4. TRANSPORT
Globalisation has brought us closer than ever before. Australia to America in less than a day. Japanese cars on german highways and Bratwurst on Hawaiian beaches — thats the bright side of the story. Cheating on emissions, not investing in innovations, and choking in smog is a totally different thing.
The solution: Investing in public transport and clean energy, promoting bicycles, not electro-scooters. And bringing back the greatest alternatives on short distance flights, the night-train. Even just more car sharing can drop our carbon emissions significantly.
5. TOURISM
Weekend in Paris or the Caribbean Cruise? Both of course. And in the Winter skiing in the Austrian Alps. Extensive travelling became one of the new symbols of modern society. But not only for leisure. People are flying round the globe for work and families are split on all continents. All this is leading to deep scars in the air, the land and the sea.
The solution: Here it’s your turn … Join 士 THE GOOD ONE movement, find like-minded people and work on concepts, grow them to sustainable businesses, and help improve another industry.

Meanwhile, it’s a fact — cigarette butts are one of the most toxic mass polluters on the planet! ФАСOFF is a Bulgarian national initiative that cleans public places like beaches and parks and raises awareness about the problem.
18 billion cigarettes are bought every day and approximately two-thirds of the butts end up in nature directly. That’s 6,5 trillion every year. Each of them containing a plastic core soaked with more than 4000 toxic elements, most of which are provoking cancer. And with rain, it goes deep in the soil, ends up in groundwater, and with the rivers, it flows into the oceans. Scientists are more than concerned at now it’s up to us to do our part — join us now.

ARTOTHECA.COM
Bringing artists and consumers together in a platform that allows you to rent or subscribe to a plan where your art at home or your office can be exchanged on a regular basis. The new Rent-brandt or Share-onardo if you wish.
Sharing valuable, expensive or rarely needed products is not only acting responsibly, but an excellent example of what values society and economy should be built on. A win-win-win situation in every aspect:
First, artists of all backgrounds are sitting on hundreds of paintings, sculptures, illustrations, photographs, and other art objects, and have immense space problems to stockpile all their work that is not sold, which is the vast majority.
Second, there are many consumers that value art of any kind, but can not afford to pay for a few art pieces to enlighten their living space or workspace. But renting, or a subscription-based model would be very welcome.
Third, every piece of art that we haven’t ever seen is brand new to us, even if it is old for its creator. And by sharing original art, we ultimately educate society, spread values and provoke thinking, dialog, and opinion exchange. This is not only recycling art but spreading good and saving resources by not printing and distributing cheap copies of pseudo-art.
This project is still in the idea stage and despite that similar concepts already exist, one larger solution on this is still missing. We believe a willing team and funds are needed to bring this to life. Let’s do it!
