Design should draw from historical information and well as multicultural processes and artifacts to encourage a global and inclusive designs. Pulling from the archives of history will help to rediscover solutions to modern problems and learn from past mistakes to move forward.

Design must be held accountable for how it interacts with the environment and the natural world. To be mindful in this way helps us as humans understand our own interdependence with our environment. Materials should be ethically and sustainability sourced. This includes humane practices. Being aware of animals role in design can move us towards a less Anthropocentric worldview.
