The Designer's Field Guide to Sustainability

The LUNAR Elements team has recently published "The Designer's Field Guide to Sustainability", a tool designed to help all designers and engineers, no matter what their level of experience, design more sustainable products.

A quick note about the guide: None of these tips is a turn-key solution. They are very complex issues that often warrant added thought and discussion. Together, they provide a good start, and can help form a checklist of considerations to take along the design path to ensure that no sustainable opportunity has fallen through the cracks. Reviewed often, they can help us to make sustainability a fundamental part of our design and engineering processes.

Feel free to post thoughts, examples, criticisms or advice. All input will be collected and considered when LUNAR publishes version 2.0.

Enjoy.

365 Ways

I recently received a book called "365 Ways to Save the Earth" by Philippe Bourseiller. It's full of tips that are easy enough to implement, but that most of us never think to do. I started sending a tip a day from the book to the entire office. After the first five or six tips, I started writing them on my own. I think that while some of these tips are obvious, they're good for everyone to know. Please do them if you can.
