“Double ignorance: we don’t know the true impacts of our products/services and we don’t realise that we don’t know” Daniel Goleman in Ecological Intelligence

Sustainability
• Definition?• Multi-dimensional• Measurable impacts• Design decisions
![Page 6: Design for ethical impact and social responsibility](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062703/55564db2d8b42aa41e8b4b93/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
The hidden price tag
• Everyday impacts determined by design decisions
• What are the design decisions in your organisation?
• What are the indirect and long-term consequences of these design decisions?
• Genuine questions that lead to fresh perspectives from all stakeholders

Design transparency
• Understand and make visible the (hidden) impacts of your products/services
• The impacts of (even simple) products entail enormous complexity
• The ‘illusions of choice’– Conditioned by the decisions of
others
– Paradoxical discontent by choice

Paper or plastic?
Materials are not the problem
The problem is… the way we source, process, move, use and dispose

Organic fashion
“Organic cotton has very different impacts: 10.6 gallons/lb for rain-fed from Brazil
782 gallons/lb for California organic cotton”

“Cars are an avatar. Cars are an expansion of yourself: they take your thoughts, your ideas, your emotions, and they multiply it.”

Recycling
Lulls consumers into the illusion that something is done (‘feel good’ story)

Reforestation
Promotes monocrops, requires fertilisers, damages eco-diversity
![Page 18: Design for ethical impact and social responsibility](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062703/55564db2d8b42aa41e8b4b93/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Hybrid cars
Highest impact of cars: manufacturing. Designing for Eco-driving

Paradoxes
In NYC, a bottle of French wine has a smaller carbon footprint than a wine from Nappa Valley (airplane/truck)
Lamb from New Zealand shipped to Britain has 25% of the carbon footprint
from British lamb (energy, fertilisers)
Dutch roses have 600% greater carbon footprint than roses flown from Kenya

Design research
To bring depth, precision and clarity to sustainable design
To reveal hidden connections between built, natural and social
systems
Challenges are too varied, too subtle and too complicated to be
understood by any single discipline
