Trendease DesignVision: Fifty Shades of Green

Being green, sustainable, and responsible is something for which to aim. Producing and buying in this manner is not black or white, but many shades in between. Familiarize yourself with terms like Corporate Social Responsibility, triple bottom line, Life Cycle Assessment, cradle to cradle, recycle and upcycle, adaptive reuse, waste management, and fair-trade. Transparency is king. Ask many questions so you can make informed decisions. Be aware that there are even more than fifty shades of green!
