Review # 1 was written on 2010-07-26 00:00:00 Simon Torres m I wanted to like this book, but it's just so superficial. It's not really addressing the environmental issues we face right now. It is trying to. But by just changing the ink or paper you use isn't sustainable design, that is just maybe creating a little less harm, maybe. Graphic designers need to look at a design problem from birth to hopefully reuse. They also need to look as graphic design not as selling a product but as informing, for example find better ways to inform users on how to recycle a package than a tiny symbol that nobody understands at the bottom.

Review # 2 was written on 2011-10-22 00:00:00 Agnes J. Slavinski This is a nice, easy to read book full of sustainable design tidbits. I was able to start and finish this book in two days (on the plane), and it reads like a magazine - with small bits of digestible info. You're not going to know a ton about sustainable design after reading this, but it's a great way to get started.
