Why Green Design Is Important To Your Business

It means green in your pocket.  Today’s Cultural Creative demographic is driving the demand for green and sustainable design.  This demographic alone accounts for $540 billion of buying power globally, and they make choices based on their values.  These values include their commitment to the environment.  Green design and the environment are tied together and if you aren’t designing with green in mind, you’re missing a great opportunity for business.

• Not interested in green design…that’s OK, the savvy designers are, and they are the busiest ones even in this economy.
• You don’t think you have time or the energy to learn about it?  What if it saves money for you and your clients and helps them see you as the expert you’ve worked so hard to become?
• What if it reduces greenhouse gasses and saves the planet for your children?
• What if it helps your clients to be healthier?
• What if it saves the planet from unnecessary waste?  There is no “out there,” and as a designer or architect, you can make a huge difference.
