Task 6
In your opinion, how should the industrial design community react to the climate change solution discussed in this movie?
This animation from ww.storyofstuff.com is very interesting they also have other interesting and easy to understand videos from that website. Major companies are influencing government parties to make treaties that benefit themselves to pocket a lot of money. I believe people around the first world countries are ignorant because they do not know the price that is being paid for their life style and this is due the information provided by the companies believing that they are helping the environment. But if people are exposed to the actual harm that earth is facing then they can have an actual idea of the destruction caused which can ultimately open their eyes and lend a helping hand.
Since designers have the ability to shape the way we live I reckon that designers should tackle carbon emissions by designing products that rely on reusable energy resources. Backed by the public who will be in demand of these products therefore this would force companies to follow this new trend set by designers which would lead to less use of carbon emissions.

Task 5 Design for life
Reflect on the design ethics that Starck wanted the young product designers to demonstrate.
Starck has opened up a design contest allowing 12 contestants from England to participate in France. Through the 6 episodes he encourages the designers to design more sustainable products into the world. He repeatedly reminds contestants that there are too many products designed into the world and the best designs are the ones that last.
Starck’s different approach to design is a bit “wacky” but very interesting the way he thinks about design. He says that he doesn’t have a philosophy but I think he does because he bases a lot of his design on sustainability. The weird thing is that I think that he is very hypocritical they way he behaves, he rides his motor bike everywhere he goes instead of riding a bike.
The designer that I reckon should have had won was Nebil, it was very unfair the way he was voted off the show compared to all the other designers. The winner Ilsa had a very interesting design but I still would of wanted to see what Nebil could of came up with in the final design phase. Watching this series was very interesting to know what angles to approach a design project to design it in a way so that it is sustainable.
