| "There are many ways to have an ethical, green, or sustainable Christmas. If there was one thing you would want people to do every day as well, what would it be?" |
 Professor Chris Rust is Head of the Art & Design Research Centre at Sheffield Hallam University, England, and is Chair of the Council of the Design Research Society. His research is concerned with the role of tacit knowledge in design, arising from experience of research projects in which designing plays an instrumental part in investigations into problems in other disciplines. |  "Charity begins at home so before you start thinking about how to be generous to strangers ask yourself if you are giving enough of yourself to friends, family and neighbours who might need some friendship or support at Christmas (or any other time).Of course this is just a precondition for wider generosity, the expression 'charity begins at home' is often used to justify lack of charity to strangers but that is a despicable and deceitful misinterpretation. And as I am a designer I would like to stress that there is more value in designing and giving performances, places and experiences that have little impact on the environment but may give lasting memories and create wellbeing, than giving shiny new toys that consume resources and may have no lasting value."
