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.
