Summertime and a designer’s thoughts turn to….green design! here on the East Coast of the U.S. the problem of global warming hasn’t seemed terribly apparent, as temps stay low, but we have to remember it isn’t simply the planet heating up we’re worried about—it’s climate CHANGE. And change isn’t always for the best.

And what can we do about it, anyway? Well, plenty. Especially designers and decorators.

There is a great new article up on Designer Monthly Magazine with a Special Report on designing green; in fact, the whole issue is dedicated to green design, and includes articles on designing green for kids, for weddings, and more.
