A site I like:
http://www.swellfuture.com
"The path to our sustainable future demands the full range of human creativity, ingenuity and innovation. It demands that we investigate diverse approaches to creating a material culture that is not at odds with nature but acts in concert with it. It demands that we consider every aspect of how the objects that we create are made: who makes them, from what materials, under what conditions, how long will they last and what happens to them when we are done with them.
Swell presents the work of a diverse group of people - designers, artists, craftspeople, and artisans from around the globe - whose work takes myriad approaches to the challenge of creating sustainable design. Each product exhibited in Swell shows some combination of sustainable strategies at work. Our hope is that by bringing these exceptional designs together in close quarters, new connections will be made, new directions will become apparent, new fires will be lit and one more step will be taken toward the promise of Future Friendly Design."
