Earth-Friendly Design

By Anne Welsbacher

Book Overview

Designers create all products--from computers and cell phones to cars and buildings--to meet the needs and desires of buyers. But did you realize that each stage in the life of a manufactured product involves processes that can damage Earth's land, air, water, and the health of living things? Earth-friendly design can help us make our planet healthier. We must join together in this quest to make, move, use, reuse, and dispose of things in Earth-friendly ways. With engaging text and eye-catching images--plus a special Going Green section--this book tells you all about Earth-friendly design and what you can do to promote it.
