Canadian author of The Day the World Stops Shopping James MacKinnon is on a mission to get us to buy a lot less stuff but insists that even reducing our consumption by just 5% would make a big difference and we would barely notice the shift.
J. B. MacKinnon teaches journalism at the University of British Columbia and makes documentaries. He enjoys exploring the intersection between the wired and wild worlds, and lives in Vancouver, Canada.
Vincent Stanley from Patagonia, co-author of the The Responsible Company will join the conversation. Stanley affirms that businesses should make useful, long-lasting products in a socially and environmentally responsible way. What do you think?
