Designers impact
Everything in the built environment is designed by humans, every product, system or environment (PSE).
During the design of these PSE's many decisions are made that have will ultimately have various future impacts on society and the environment.
An example is PET water bottles. Was it the designers responsibility to forsee the health issues that have arisen from using PET drinking bottles?
It is proposed that designers should be aware of their social impact.
