In celebration of Beautiful U Day which is happening next week, some sustainable links:
- Companies are revolutionizing sustainable product design by using environmental life cycle assessment to benchmark their product impacts.
- Heard about the U's RFID program? Faculty and staff can bicycle towards points to reduce 2013 medical program rates.
- See art out in the open and year-round at Mankato's CityArt Walking Sculpture Tour.
- RiverFIRST is the winning design proposal for the Minneapolis riverfront. Watch the design team's video and learn about the 2010 international design competition which was sponsored by the Mpls. Park Board and Parks Foundation, with creative partners the U of M College of Design and Walker Art Center.
The first article "revolutionizing sustainable product design" was by far one of the most enlightening ones that I've read in recent YEARS! First of all I'm glad to see that the green effect reaching across all types of businesses. Some of the companies were accompanied by common tips and uses. I think the cut of the top was such a funny example of the inefficiency of a simple container. It makes sense and you think about it when you're cutting the top off, but you never think to improve on it until it presents itself so clearly. Great stuff here. Thanks for sharing!
