Summary
In the wake of 50 Shades of Grey by E.L. James, a current bestselling novel that started life as Twilight fanfiction, questions about are being asked. If the only difference between a piece of fanfiction and a bestselling novel is the changing of character names and places, then is the deletion stories without warning something that should be bigger news?

Aka how to make things more efficient/sustainable by improving their design, not just focusing on making the materials of the product more sustainable but the product design itself. So efficiency is built into the way the product works and is used to make it more sustainable.
For example designing electric kettles that encourage you to only boil the water you actually need so you don't waste energy or simply allow you to boil one cup of water without worrying you'll damage the kettle by underfilling it. Speaking from experience, if you don't typically boil water while people are sleeping, stove top whistling kettles are a great way to get around that issue since they don't have minimal fill lines. Getting into the habit of filling a kettle literally via mug fulls and asking those around you if they want hot water before you turn on the jug* is also a good way to heat up the right amount of water and avoid double boiling the kettle because someone else sees you with boiled water and decides they want some.
*This may already be common in some places but I'm not from a big tea drinking country so it wasn't common to ask if anyone else wanted tea/coffee unless there are guests or it's a gathering of some kind. So it was interesting to see how it went from a sustainability thing for me and then was taken up by others for a variety of reasons until it became a common thing people did. The language also changed from 'Would anyone like a cup of tea/coffee?' to a more casual 'Would anyone like hot water?' since everyone drinks different things and would make their own drinks as desired once the water was boiled.

Bookmarker's Notes
A breath of fresh air of solution focused thinking rather than doom day warnings. A film that explores solutions that already exist, that could be used to create a better future in what the creator calls 'fact based dreaming'.
