Green Design is a very broad term encompassing many aspects. It starts with smart choices of materials, such as renewable resources or low impact materials. To take it a step further, green design in about intelligent design. It is about designing for disassembly/ recycle-ability and allowing for alternative uses after the product has reached the end of its original purpose. Green design can also simply encourage sustainable behavior by either enforcing behavior or creating a new behavior.
