Designers create all products from computers and cell phones to cars and buildings to meet the needs and desires of buyers. But did you realize that each stage in the life of a manufactured product involves processes that can damage Earth's land, air, water, and the health of living things? Earth-friendly design can help us make our planet healthier. We must join together in this quest to make, move, use, reuse, and dispose of things in Earth-friendly ways. With engaging text and eye-catching images plus a special Going Green section this book tells you all about Earth-friendly design and what you can do to promote it.
