What we produce, how we serve customers and other stakeholders, and even how we understand how the world works is all affected by the design of models and solutions. Designers have an unprecedented opportunity to use their skills to make meaningful, sustainable change in the world—if they know how to focus their skills, time, and agendas. In "Design is the Problem", Nathan Shedroff examines how the endemic culture of design often creates unsustainable solutions, and shows how designers can bake sustainability into their design processes in order to produce more sustainable solutions. Design is the Problem explains: 1. How sustainability isn't as difficult to understand and address as many would have you think 2. Several of the leading frameworks and perspectives on sustainability 3. How to insert sustainability into the development process that you're already using 4. The many, practical strategies that make the products, services, and events you design and develop more sustainable—right now ER -
