The Designers Accord Sustainability in 7 video series delivers a daily dose of design inspiration by today's leading sustainability experts. Join in the conversation as they share 7 things every designer should consider when integrating sustainability into design practice.
For our final Sustainability in 7, Core77's very own Allan Chochinov sets the record straight on seven common misconceptions about sustainability and the discipline of design. Definitely a must-see for anyone interested in designing a better, more sustainable prosperous future.
Allan touches on many of the topics that our other guests have discussed at greater length over the past three weeks; you can always revisit previous videos here. Thanks for watching!

Love that last line. Nice theatrics with the paper too.
yep, the ipad is lovely tablet. but for f*ck's sake this must be the dorkiest use for one. what's next? hobos with an ipad that reads: will work for an ipad recharge?
I think we should be making more things that are smart. Of course, not *everything*: no need for a smart fork. But far more systems than designers are currently imagining should be smart ... human-style smart: thinking, planning, anticipating, predicting.
Why you are talking about sustainability holding an ipad?
Think about it...it is a big contradiction. We as designers need to create solutions not NEEDS.
