Story of Cap and Trade

This presentation shines light on the problems associated with the world wide carbon trading scheme. it shows the viewers the extent of the issue and how they are currently trying to 'fix' it.
as designers this video shows us the importance of designing products that have a minimal environmental impact in terms of a carbon footprint. we can achieve this in many ways. by making a product that has a very long life, or making products out of environmentally friendly materials or made by evironmentally friendly processes. we can also look at end of life recycling and end of life secondary uses. by focussing on such product attributes in design, we will be able to aid the reduction of carbon emissions and our carbon footprint.
