• new Book Review: Design is the Problem In the blog on the companion Website for his new book Design is the Problem, author Nathan Shedroff asks: "Are you as sick of sustainability as I am?" and continues: "It seems that everywhere you turn these days, sustainability is the hot topic. While this is a good thing – and a needed one – people are already getting 'green fatigue'." One might be tempted to ask: "So, why another book about sustainability?" Shedroff argues, and would probably counter, that "over the last 40 years, little has changed in spite of all the discussions, while the issues have increased dramatically. [...] What needs to change is that we all need to decide, now, that sustainability is a given." Shedroff's book intends to push everyone in this direction: While it deals with the negative as well as positive impact of his own profession, design, on sustainability, it considers the impact from a broader perspective – one which might help reach such an agreement.
