Sustainable Social Design

I have come to realize that design for social change also involves thinking about the environment. Its become apparent to me that I must consider the lifespan and environmental impact of the things I create in order to really bring about change. Luckily, I’ve recently discovered Re-nourish, an online resource for designers that breaks down a complicated issue into easy tools I can use. I can calculate the waste of a specific product and even find a “greener” printer. And case studies let me see what other designers are doing. It’s a great tool to have in my bookmarks.
