Thanks to everyone for the excellent support and feedback for my design slam topic!
Today is the deadline, and although obligations have prevented me from completing the entry, I’m more than satisfied at having spawned discussion among the design community on the issue!
At the very least I hope this discourse may in some way act as a springboard for your own professional work, or to help raise awareness for sustainability and the changing role of the product life-cycle.
Together we can get this right, and as designers can truly affect positive change! Thanks again, and best of luck, -cg
