Sustainability for a Better Future

What is Sustainable or 'Green' design? Water shortages, pollution, and the disappearance of millions of non-renewable resources are all caused by the production of products. Green design is making a conscience effort to preserve as much of the earth's resources as possible when buying or making anything from carpet to roofing systems. Everything can be made 'green. When making something out of wood for instance, one can choose where to buy their wood from. Companies that are sustainable in the wood industry replant trees and make sure their impact on the environment is as small as possible. What's even cooler about green design is that items still can be beautiful and sustainable.
