Sustainability in design

For the most part of my life thinking about the environment has been far from my mind. I'm not saying I would go out and burn tires and throw garbage into lakes, but I wouldn't go out of my way to do simple things like recycle. Last year when the ocean was poisoned by those British assholes I began thinking a lot more about the effect we have on our planet. For this packaging project sustainability has been a constant thought on my mind, with ideas about utilizing packaging that is made from recycled plastic and cardboard, to making something that you would keep around like a box that transforms into a piece of art you can hang up.
