“Beautifully designed things have value and longevity, but mediocre design usually ends up in a bin.”
These two statements were made by a speaker at a talk I recently attended; How To Be An Eco Creative. It made me aware of some important issues in design and in the wider world. I have since made a conscious decision to try my upmost to be a socially responsible designer.
I want to pass the message on and help raise awareness. These sites are a good start:
