Sustainable Design and Energy: A Social Design Issue

Our Globe is reaching an extreme energy and resource crisis. The population keeps growing, as the need for energy does. This leaves habitat and energy levels diminished creating future economic instability and affirms our need for alternative energy.

Sustainable energy replenishes itself indefinitely, leaving no other pollutants or space for an economic depression--energy that contributes to every human need and want for our everyday functional utilities. Sustainable design will not only provide renewable energy, but also reduce if not eliminate pollutants and intrinsically make the future healthier, cleaner, and greener for generations to come.
