Question

What should I be considering if I have to write about the responsibilities of a designer to consider ecological issues? Are there sites that explain, in simple terms, environmentally friendly techniques for the production of materials and what happens to the by-products?

Thanks, Joan

I am studying an architectural/interior design course and I have to write about the responsibilites of the modern interior designer in terms of the need to consider not only the sustainability of natural resources but also with the energy used to process or transport!!

Easy isn't it?

Sorry, these don't seem to be suitable. What I need are sites that give examples of the methods that have been used to produce current eco-friendly buildings.
