Every designer who spends time seriously rethinking the design process from a “green” perspective ------one that considers the wellbeing of the environment---tells a similar a story.The story beings with a vague notion of wastefulness and progresses to a profound moment of awareness when we realize the negative impact our profession has on our water,air,and land. When we share our stories---with our friends,classmates,and colleagues; at school, at work, over coffee---we spread awareness throughout the design profession. That awareness is the seed of change that has led an increasing number of designers to green design process.(from The big book green design)
Simply defined, the practice of green design conserves natural resources, reduce energy consumption, cut solid waste, and minimizes the ecological footprint of a project. Green is a better way of creating. By itself, it cannot solve the environmental issues facing our civilization,but it is an effective first step toward changing habits,behaviors,and the means with which we imagine ourselves and the economy. It is not an exact science, but it grows daily in terms of innovation and opportunity.By the simple act act of choosing,say, a recycled or non-toxic, renewable material, inspire other designers to improve the outcomes and impact of our profession.
