Congrats to Stiven and Melanie for your Design 2.0 ticket-winning answers to PSFK's question: If you could design anything, what would it be and why?
Winning replies:
If I could design anything, I would design a universal impact scanner. This device would scan for and measure the environmental impact of any product or material. So I would be able to simply point my impact scanner and it would automatically calculate all the variables involved and provide me with a read out that would inform me of a products complete environmental impact using a simple scale. One would be able to customize the settings of this device according to more specific personal considerations and interest such as; fair trade value, transportation method and distance, chemical composition, life cycle assessment, even a good corporate citizen measurement of the manufacturers and distributors involved. The reason for this design would be to trigger a domino effect for industries to move towards a transparent production model where users could make smart informed decisions about every product they purchase without much effort and become conscious participants in a movement towards sustainability.

I'd design a pair of jeans that fit you. No matter who you are. Why? If you've ever tried on jeans, you know why.
