For designers interested in sustainability, check out The Designers Accord (http://www.designersaccord.org/) and Design Can Change (http://designcanchange.org/#home), both dedicated to helping designers promote sustainability practices.

And, check if any local organizations provide recognition and/or assistance to businesses that operate in an environmentally friendly manner. We were certified as a Monterey Bay Area Green Business and going through the process showed us tons of small ways we can make a difference every day in our office.

Thanks for the list!

Like “Packaging Sustainability,” though it is illustrated with beautiful pictures, “Sustainable Graphic Design” is not just another pretty picture book as so many design books end-up being — but dives deeply into the heart of what makes great design on a variety of key input levels, and how to use that as an instrument for positive change.

BTW: Personal tip — when Amazon asks if you want to buy “Green Graphic Design” and “Sustainable Graphic Design,” together (and “Packaging Sustainability” too if you’re a PKG-pro), go for it. “Green Graphic Design” is a wonderful hands-on look at what eco-design pioneers Celery Design Collaborative have been doing all these years. We then pick-up and go deeper on topics “Green Graphic Design” touches on (you can only jam so much action into 212 pages after all). A great combo for graphic arts pros. Plus, I’m a big fan of Celery’s work (they are represented in both of our books).
