“Use slow and small solutions”
Our ability to make adjustments to the system is greatly enhanced by using small and slow solutions. A small solution, tailored to a particular context, is implemented instead of a large cookie-cutter approach. This principle stuck out to me specifically, after doing a bit of research on the topic I got a better grasp on what that really means. Using slow and small solutions can be interpreted in many ways. We live in a world in which we are told we can have whatever we want at the touch of our fingertips, leaving us with the question as to why we should use small and slow solutions? Well one of the biggest examples of the benefit of using small and slow solutions is within the farming industry. Over years of pesticides and heavy machinery destroying our ecosystem it only took 60 years to destroy a lot of our topsoil that we use to plant our food. Many farmers are reverting back to using small and slow solutions on their farm such as horses plowing fields instead of a machine, using natural predators to eliminate bugs instead of pesticides, there are plenty different examples of how farms have restored back to old time, and less destruction would have happened to our planet if we would have stuck to small and slow solutions.
