Design Council issue a green agenda.

The green agenda

There is growing pressure on governments to support an environmental agenda. Corporations are now bound by legislation to provide an environmental response to the problem of packaging waste. These issues are unlikely to come off the agenda and non-compliance will become ever more punitive. 

Caring about the environment and our personal footprint on the world is no longer the domain of fringe groups or activists. Films such as An Inconvenient Truth have helped raise our awareness of what we are all doing to our planet through our consumption habits. Backlash against Chelsea Tractors, unnecessary food miles and over-packaged products are only the beginning of a shift towards less conspicuous consumption.
