After a long period of emphasising individual values, it istime to understand the power of shared values as well. Despite the wideness and complexity of the concept itself sustainability has become a shared value in driving positive change. The more people subscribe this principle the more successfully the change will proceed as a process which successfully combines a bottom-up approach to a top-down approach. As consumers more actively demand ethically produced products and services designers and manufacturers strive to answer to this demand.

A deeper understanding of the current situation we live in rises questions and brings together values that are indispensable.

It can help us to sift information to be able to construct both unique and ethically valid personal lifestyle supporting community wellbeing.
