Envirowise launches new innovative eco-design forum: DesignBox
Envirowise have now launched DesignBox, a new online forum for anyone interested in saving money and the environment through sustainable design.
As well as a discussion forum, users can share best practice and ask Envirowise experts for tips and advice. The forum will host monthly sessions with keynote speakers, who are industry experts from the world of design. During these sessions, forum members will be able to submit questions live via an instant-messaging style interface. These sessions will be held every first Thursday of the month at 10.00 GMT.
Our first live session was held on Thursday 4 June 2009, which was a resounding success full of questions and debate for 2 hours. Visit DesignBox to see some key issues raised. The next session is to be held on Thursday 4 March 2010
The DesignBox forum has been designed to meet the latest accessibility and industry standards. Users will be able to chat in a secure area about eco-design challenges, vote on key issues and meet virtually with others who share an interest in improving resource efficiency.
Jenni Rosser, eco-design specialist at Envirowise, said:
“There is a growing appetite for information on eco-design and we believe that the DesignBox forum will help to satisfy it. We hope it will become a vibrant online community for the design industry and, along with the Envirowise website, a first port of call for eco-design news and information.”
