After attending Compostmodern 2008, I was inspired to take a stand and hold the line regarding the responsibility of designers to the world. The post title refers to the growing backlash towards the Hummer. What is "good design" and who is it good for?
But this movement is more than about the designers... it's about re-thinking our society and what "green" is. Sustainability should be about better living in all senses.
I'm still processing a lot of the ideas presented, but I think a good first step is based around the idea that we cannot manage what we cannot measure. Of course with that, we cannot measure what we do not understand. My hope is that this blog will become an open forum for learning and understanding. Please join the discussion.
