Pollution, Deforestation, species loss, and global warming are all side effects of the industries that provide consumers with the goods on the market today. Meanwhile, discerning designers and green-minded consumers are recognizing that while a product may look beautiful, it can't really become a classic if its manufacture endangers the environment or exploits the workers producing it.
The Total Beauty of Sustainable Products reveals which companies are producing goods that achieve "total beauty" products that are not only aesthetically pleasing, but are environment and worker-friendly as well. This unique guide examines everything from lipsticks to cars, and uses a simple scoring and icon system to assess their "sustainability" in today's marketplace. It also reveals the environmental implications of each stage of the design process.
