Sustain and what?
Sustain: meaning to research, source and develop relevant and environmentally friendly methods for creating good design for each individual client.
Able: referring to the ability to implement the methods to make those changes a reality. |

Sustain+Able is about Good Design Thinking. A term I coined whilst developing the idea behind this project.
 It represents my own policy for sourcing relevant sustainable solutions with the practical ability for clients to implement them.
As they say 'you can take a horse to water...', it is your choice, but times are changing and its time for you to change.

Sustain+Able+You?
'In a statement to MPs, the new Energy and Climate Change Secretary, Ed Miliband, said the current 60% target would be replaced by the higher goal in the Climate Change Bill.'
- BBC News Online 17th Oct 2008
There are endless ways to improve the way we live, consume and do business. Good design will play a major part this new era – whether it is industrial, product or graphic design.
It might be considering a better material for your packaging, paper for your annual report, the inks that are used on your business cards or the actual method with which you operate your business. It is impossible to say how Sustain+Able will best serve you and your business until we sit down over a coffee and talk about it.

- I ride my bike to work, and even walk on days when its raining.
- I've changed my Addison Lee account to Green Tomato Cars.
- I've stopped printing my own letterheaded stationary.
- I recycle as much as is possible in my office. I even recycle my paper coffee cups.
- I only use printers that use soya/vegetable based inks who are recognised by the FSC.
- I only recommend stocks that are made from 100% consumer waste.

(N.B. I don't wear cords if that is what you are thinking, but I do have a beard) |
