Note:

In addition to my current manifesto draft I want to add the points:

Reuse wherever whenever possible.
Recycle.
D.I.Y. save your own money and do it yourself. Practice skill, practice culture. Spend effort and time rather than lots of money.

Something along the lines of this. To hone tonight.

Manifesto Draft

Insert Intelligent Paragraph Here

 

Designers:

·         Designers must create with the triple bottom line in mind.

                                Think about the planet

                                Think about people

                                Then think about Profit.

·         Consider each of these equally throughout the course of the design process.

                                Materials
                                Manufacturing
                                Packaging
                                Use
                                Transport
                             Waste

·         Quantify all materials, processes and the environmental impact throughout the design process.

·         Be able to trace/track all materials throughout the process.

·         Be transparent with information. Make it public. Be Honest. Give the power to the consumers.

·         Don’t be exclusive. Allow anybody who wants to the opportunity to buy your product.

·         Be the first. The first business, the first system, the first nation. Be ther first and others will follow.

 

Consumers:

·         Take the power.

·         Read the packaging.

·         Value more than just price. Value the environment and the people who made the item.

·         Buy good stuff. Buy crafted items over plastic factory made crap. Preserve the culture of making that led to the creation of that product.

·         Take your canvas bags to the supermarket.
