Design

One of the most frustrating things, to me, about a lot of the problems the world has is they're so unnecessary. Not even getting into social problems, lots of environmental problems happen just because we as a society are too damn lazy to do things right in the first place. That extra two cents a unit for making something out of craptacular materials instead of non-toxic ones. Or hell, just inertia, 'cause that's the way it's always been done, when it's just as easy and cheap to do it a better way. And the "cheaper" ways are often more expensive, because they involve using all new stuff, instead of taking apart the things we already made before and reusing them.

Feh.
