90-x-90.jpg The Designers Accord Sustainability in 7 video series delivers a daily dose of design inspiration by today’s leading sustainability experts. Join in the conversation as they share 7 things every designer should consider when integrating sustainability into design practice.

In what he deems “probably the fastest introduction ever” to systems thinking, Nathan Shedroff introduces systems as a context and a perspective. Among the six other points, he touches on resilience as the successor to sustainability—which Michael Sammet explored at greater length to kick off sustainability month. (Who knows? Maybe we’ll be celebrating “Resilience Month” next year.)
