Designers will have to think about:

• How to produce goods that will not ruin natural resources, pollute the earth to manufacture and release Co2 when transporting the good globally.
• Natural resources like wood must not be mass-chopped down, and also trees must be planted to replace others. Oil usage must be reduced and new methods to manufacture and transport must be found, e.g. using wind to power.
• Materials such as plastics must be carefully reused or recycled without causing pollutions.
• Designers will have to work more the people who supply raw materials to ensure that they are being treated fairly and that materials are not being overused.
• How products are manufactured and where? Most products, e.g. fruit, travel long distances to get to our supermarkets. Locally produced food should be adopted by leading supermarkets and retailers.
• We also need to think about what we do with a product when it has fulfilled its purpose? Do we reuse it, recycle it or does its lifespan never end...

This could be done by really thinking about whether we need the product we are designing? If you design a concept which reduces landfill waste, we need to ensure that it becomes mainstream, other than simply adding another product to the otherwise bulging market. Global companies who only produce products for profit, should have legal restrictions as to how much they can produce, and also help donate profits back into the earth.
