Manufactured Landscapes

Hi Everyone,

Some of you have seen this movie, but if you haven’t it’s worth checking out. I struggled for a while with our involvement in these processes, but as the movie goes along its pretty clear that EVERYONE is involved. After seeing this movie it’s pretty clear our current state is far from sustainable.

Checking one of the IDSA documents I ran into this:

“…International LCA evaluation standards are urgently needed. Because international standards do not yet exist, a European method, known as the Eco-Indicator, is an alternative. It offers the most usable method of LCA approaches.”

Here’s a link to the Eco-Indicator Software:

Green Design Wiki

From the UC Davis design program (Tim McNeil):

"We created this site as an attempt to aggregate information about sustainable materials and methods from many sources, as they pertain to exhibition design."

Hey everyone,

I ran across these guys at a recent San Francisco Pecha Kucha night. They’re starting a free, online sustainable materials library.
