I have loved learning about sustainable design and gaining more knowledge, it has always been a big part of what id like to achieve within my own projects. Textiles is an every growing specialism and i think if we don't start making a change to way things are made then there will be disastrous effects. Looking at some of the designers i have been looking at and realising how simple it is and how easy it is to just make a couple of changes to way we do things and the way we think. By taking part in the sustainable design sessions it has opened my eyes to how many different routes there are within sustainable design, weather it be the hands on taking part in using sustainable dyes within my garment making or sourcing proper fair trade, eco friendly fibres for my fabrics or simply supporting one of the sustainable design campaigns that i have looked at. Everybody can make a difference, its just making the public and designers more aware of the effects of there processes.
I am going to really concentrate on using sustainable products within my designing now and even when I'm out at the shops i will think about what I'm buying, where its been made, how its been made, what its been made from. Facts that need to be known worldwide. I hope to carry on research the different aspects and getting to know more about such an important aspect to us as young designers of the future.
