:: THREE TREES DON'T MAKE A FOREST

For my brief titled "The Environmental Impact of Design" this website has proved most useful and inspirational for me! I love it. Also, not just perfect for this brief, but also the research for my dissertation.

www.threetreesdontmakeaforest.org

It is a not-for-profit social enterprise set up by three directors from different agencies; thomas.matthews, airside and lovely as a tree.

"Our aim is to provide tools for all designers and businesses who are involved in design and advertising to inspire them to re-think their working cultures and start to produce sustainable design that really works....When it comes to sustainable design, there are no excuses. Sooner or later our industry will have to rise to the challenge. As creativity is our business, we should be comfortable with the notion of making our design work that bit harder; creatively and for the environment."
- a paragraph from there website.

There's loads of links to information website, a collection of blogs and tips and advice for designers on what to do about their working practices and life in a studio in making it more sustainable.
Endless information. It's wonderful!
