The Green Maker Initiative Book

Edited by Emma Whittaker & Polly Macpherson.

One of the biggest concerns of this age is the environmental changes taking place on our planet. The Green Maker Initiative Book asks what role designers, makers and consumers can have in reducing the environmental impact of objects, and even make a positive contribution to the world we live in.

 The book presents practical strategies and approaches for designer makers to reduce the environmental impact of their craft drawing on research with Green Maker Initiative members, conducted by Emma Whittaker, University of Plymouth. The book is richly illustrated with photographs of makers’ work throughout and useful diagrams to inform practical action.

 This book is for designers, makers and artists. The book is also for academics and students and those interested in creative industries and sustainability research. Finally, the book is relevant to anyone who wants to be inspired with practical strategies that make a difference to the way we engage with Mother Earth.

 The Green Maker Initiative Book is supported by the ERDF Low Carbon Devon project within the Sustainable Earth Institute at the University of Plymouth, MAKE Southwest, Arts Council England and the Crafts Council.

 The GMI Book is printed on ‘Revive’ recycled paper, using vegetable inks and printed in the UK by local company, Short Run Press (Exeter).
