Whether it's horror at plastic littering the world's beaches, or
despair at the melting of the polar ice caps, the world is
gradually waking up to the impending climate disaster. In The Green
Imperative, Papanek argues for design that addresses these issues
head on. This means using materials that can be recycled and
re-used, no more pointless packaging, thinking about how products
make us feel and engage all our senses, putting nature at the heart
of design, working at a smaller scale, rejecting aesthetics for
their own sake, and thinking before we buy. First published at the
close of the 20th century, the book offered a plethora of honest
advice, clear examples and withering critique, laying out the flaws
and opportunities of the design world at that time. A quarter of a
century on, Papanek's lucid prose has lost none of its verve, and
the problems he highlights have only become more urgent, giving
today's reader both a fascinating historical perspective on the
issues at hand and a blueprint for how they might be solved. With
141 illustrations, 26 in colour
