The most important thing that can happen for improving the state of the world today is for the first open source hardware product to dominate the market. The importance of this is that this can prove that open source production is a viable economic model. This can spawn a cascade of many open source products taking a majority market share. If a majority market share is taken by open source products, there is a resultant improvement in the quality of products and distribution of wealth, because a product that is better dominates. If every producer has access to the design (source code) of products, then every producer can make these better products. In such a system, many market players get a chance to play on an equal playing field. This is Jeffersonian democracy, generally accepted as sound.

Does this address environmental regeneration and social justice? Social justice - yes - by distributing productive power to more people and therefore addressing the inequality of wealth. Environmental regeneration? Yes, because if there are more producers, production is more distributed, and feedback loops on depletion of resources and on quality of life can inform production decisions. Simply, if production is closer to you, you care more about that production, becuase it affects your sphere of life. So there can be feedback loops.

At the end of the day, environmental regeneration has to be an explicit effort by people that care. With a better distribution of wealth, more people have a chance to care, as less people are just trying to survive, and more are beginning to thrive.

Visually, little open source fish opens up a bigger-than-itself jaw and swallows up the proprietary monster.
