solved This week I would like you to select a design

This week I would like you to select a design you are familiar with (building, product, clothing, etc.), and explain five ways it can be made more sustainable. Think about your readings and viewings and the diagram on this week’s materials. Sustainability is everything from inception to end of use. Bullet points with explanations are acceptable for this assignment.
What needs to be included in the submission?
1.) Select a design you are familiar with and use regularly. It can be an example of a building, product, or clothing.
2.) Indicate 5 ways in which your selected object could be more sustainable. Bullet points with a brief explanation are acceptable for this assignment.
What is Sustainable Design?
Sustainable design seeks to reduce negative impacts on the environment, and the health and comfort of users, thereby improving intended performance. The basic objectives of sustainability are to reduce consumption of non-renewable resources, minimize waste, and create healthy, productive environments.
Utilizing a sustainable design philosophy encourages decisions at each phase of the design process that will reduce negative impacts on the environment and the health of the occupants, without compromising the bottom line. It is an integrated, holistic approach that encourages compromise and tradeoffs. Such an integrated approach positively impacts all phases of the object’s life-cycle, including design, construction/manufacture, operation and decommissioning/recycling.
There are common misconceptions about sustainable design. Among them are:

Sustainability Equals Environmentalism
Sustainability Equals Technology
Sustainable Design Costs Too Much
Sustainable Design Takes More Time
Sustainability isn’t About Design
Sustainable Design Isn’t Beautiful

Beyond the “elimination of negative environmental impact”, sustainable design must create projects that are meaningful innovations that can shift behavior. A dynamic balance between economy and society, intended to generate long-term relationships between user and object/service and finally to be respectful and mindful of the environmental and social differences.

Readings and Viewings
As you review the readings and viewings this week, focus on how governments and corporations are incorporating sustainability into their designs. Reflect on how we can improve a product or building with one or two sustainable approaches? You’ll be asked to consider these ideas during your reflections assignment.
If you are looking for interesting articles on design sustainability, Dezeen (Links to an external site.) is a great resource. I enjoy this site, since it provides interesting reads about sustainability from all different areas of design–fashion, products and architecture. 
As you read this article download on stove kettles, products, and sustainable behavior consider how you could apply these ideas to this week’s reflection assessment.
The Designing Our Tomorrow video walks us through the idea of end-to-end sustainability. While have one or two parts of manufacturing, delivery, consumption and end-of-life process sustainable is a move in the right direction, sustainability experts advocate for a completely sustainable design life cycle from inception to discard.
Sustainability is not only applicable to product design. How can an entire community be sustainable in the way we interact with designed products? How can our actions and the way in which we spend our minutes make for a sustainable community? Dubai, one of the leaders in city planning innovations, is developing the first zero-net residential community. So what is it like to live in the Sustainable City? Hear residents talk about their experience. Will something like this work in the United States?
