Kaleidoscope at the Greener By Design conference
Kaleidoscope's Chris Hammond, along with Eric Wilmot from Frog Design, Aiden Petrie from Item Group and Clark Schaffy from IDEO, led the final panel at June's Greener By Design conference in Arlington, VA. From Greener Design's coverage:After Eric Wilmot laid out the reasoning behind asking clients to consider the waste from products they're requesting, Makower paraphrased the idea to "You may have to change more than you think ... or else you may not be here," and which Wilmot shortened to "Do you have the guts to go through with this?" and Chris Hammond likened to the pioneer's saying for addressing a world of scarcity: "Fix it up, wear it out, make do or do without."
...
Chris Hammond aptly summed up the importance of sustainability in design: "What used to be a nice-to-have feature is now going to be your ticket to the dance, and if you don't have it, you'll be left out in the cold."
