A section from 'SustainAble: a handbook of materials and applications for Graphic Designers and their clients' by Aaris Sherin
"Eco-friendly", "green", "eco-design" and similar expressions are frequently used to refer to processes and concepts that value environmental responsibility. Some designers and experts prefer to use these terms in addition to or instead of "sustainable". While not neccessarily incorrect, it is important to understand that terms such as "green" and "eco-friendly" primarily refer to the environment, whereas, "sustainability" also cinsiders the social and economic implications of materials, designs, and production processes.
So, in my research, I don't want to just look at the effects of design on the environment but also on the society and economy as well ( and I would really like to focus on the social side of it as that is what motivates me into Sustainable design in the first place)
