Sustainable futures - designing the answer


When it comes to sustainability, much of what we are encouraged to do focuses on doing less harm, feeling guilty about doing certain things, or just not doing it.

So it's refreshing to see the Design Museum in London putting on an exhibition (Sustainable Futures) that looks at sustainability in design. Rather than all walking around in hairshirts and stopping doing the things we love, shouldn't we focus on using design to make sure sustainability is at the heart of everything?

I hope this exhibition will inspire not only current designers, but also the next generation of designers, to put sustainability centre stage.

Do you have any designs that you think might save the world?
