Alanna Hartzog, Amory Lovins, and John Todd delivered the Twenty-First Annual E. F. Schumacher Lectures on October 27th 2001 at the Johnson Chapel in Amherst, Massachusetts.
Each speaker focused on integrated approaches to addressing ecological and social problems. In his closing remarks at the lectures Amory Lovins noted that the day had been about connections. It is clear that we ought to understand and harness connections before attempting to design a solution, and for that reason it is important, he commented, to understand root causes as well as linkages: “We are all designers whether we know it or not, and if we do not pay attention, we may design something we do not intend.”
