The Book Cradle to Cradle is also a must read for anyone serious about Sustainable design Thinking.(Amazon do it)
We are starting to look at ideas for Reform 08 so if anyone has ideas please get in touch, speakers,venues workshops etc.
Also if any of you are good at building websites we need a hand to get the 02ireland sustainable design network off the ground. volunteers would be welcomed with open arms.
Just give Adam a shout
Hope all are keeping the faith!

Sustainable design course UK: Designing for sustainability: Systems, ethics and beauty
A one, two or three week course at Schumacher College
February 4 - 22, 2008
This course will look at how nature's design process can influence human-made design, what constitutes form and function, how beauty relates to sustainable design and how co-design processes can lead to innovative solutions. The final week will provide an introduction to cradle-to-cradle design, a methodology for intelligent product design which takes into account
the entire life-cycle of the product.
EZIO MANZINI is Professor of Industrial Design at Milan Polytechnic and co-author of Sustainable Everyday: Scenarios of Urban Life.
ALASTAIR FUAD-LUKE is a facilitator, lecturer, and author of The Eco-Design Handbook, with a special interest in "slow design".
