Sustainable design ( task 8)

Sustainable design ( also called environmental design, environmentally sustainable design, environmentally conscious design, etc.) is the philosophy of designing physical objects, the built environment, and services to comply with the principles of social, economic, and ecological sustainability.

Honestly,  it's necessary to make our design sustainable.

As a designer, firstly, we should consider more in the material, and use recycled material as much as possible. It is a way to make the material reusable. For example, we can use the recycled paper to make the package, and if people throw away the package, the material can still be used to make the notebook or tissue paper.

Secondly, we should make our design reusable. For example, I saw a very smart product last year which is a musical box. The external of the package is just a normal box, but there is a calendar printed inside the package. So when people get this musical box, they will not just open the package and throw it away, the package can be hold for the whole year as a calendar.

In my opinion, designer is a bridge between the customer and product. As a designer, for designing/making the product, we should resolutely resist waste and use more recycled material in our product, and also make our design sustainable. For customers, designer should promote the customer's environmental awareness, and tell them to choose the recycled product.
