Greenpeace : Green My Apple
by sbrothier & 2 others (via)We love Apple. Apple knows more about "clean" design than anybody, right? So why do Macs, iPods, iBooks and the rest of their product range contain hazardous substances that other companies have abandoned? A cutting edge company shouldn't be cutting lives short by exposing children in China and India to dangerous chemicals. That's why we Apple fans need to demand a new, cool product: a greener Apple.

eco sac
by sbrothierThe eco sac™ is a revolutionary, new flexible rainwater storage system that hides away under decks or floors making it much more discrete than traditional tanks. The bladders are made from a beige coloured puncture-resistant PVC material which enables potable water storage to Australian Standards. That means that the water captured can be used to safely fill swimming pools and fish ponds without fear of contamination from the bladder. The bladders sit in a strong galvanised steel frame supported by industrial strength geo tech fabric which gives added protection.

demi :: guide to design for sustainability
by sbrothierdemi is a web-resource bringing together wide ranging information on design for sustainability.
It was developed in response to the growing realisation that design activities have a major (negative) impact on society and the environment. For example, 90% of products' environmental impact is known to be determined in the earliest stages of design.
We believe that designers can make things better as well as worse. And for a much needed sustainability revolution to occur, information and inspiration is required... demi is a good starting point for both of these.
