  Sustainable Product Design
 
  • A power point presentation shows students how designers can satisfy consumer desire without compromising the environment.
  • Students then work in teams. They are given cards that they need to put in the correct sequence to see how a product can impact on the environment and/or society.
  • The activity shows students how the decisions we make as consumers can have a global effect. Students discuss what we should do in the UK to encourage sustainable product design.

Visit the Carymoor Environmental Centre
 

The SWAP team is based at the Carymoor Environmental Centre near Castle Cary. This unusual site is Somerset's first Eco-Centre , and is built on a capped, recovered landfill site. It is situated next to the working landfill at Dimmer, putting the team in a unique position to explain and promote these themes in schools. Site visits and tours are also available by arrangement; please contact Graham Jennings on 01963 350786.
