Designing products with future generations in mind

Consumers are increasingly sensitive and concerned about sustainability. Indeed, a recent study of purchasing habits shows demand for sustainable offerings remains strongâ€"despite the economic downturn. According to a Cone Consumer Survey (February 2009), 44 percent of consumers say their "green" buying habits remain unchanged despite the current economy, and one-third of consumers say they are even more likely to buy green today than they were previously.
   
Sustainability is not a passing fashion, and people are constantly searching for more information, products and innovations in this area. Designers, in turn, are responding with elegant, efficient, low-impact products that look towards a sustainable future. This book brings together over 100 such innovative and award-winning projects from over 20 countries, launched by leading design offices and companies worldwide, including IDEO, IBM, and New Deal Design.
