T2 video reflection:Video 1: Greenfly: design greener products


This video basically introduces the process about how to use the greenfly web to calculate the product environmental friendly value.  
The first point I learned from this video is as a designer we need to consider a lot more for environmental friendly design. It is not just about using recyclable material we should consider all the factors like material, manufacturing, market price, recycle process. We need to make sure these combination factors could works well for a successful product and end of life.
The second point I think it is important that are we designing product is durability or easy to recycle. Sometimes we cannot archive both target so as a designer we need to consider which direction is better for the project.
The third point is the environmental friendly of the product report is more and more important in the future. The website gives us a clear demonstration of the lifecycle of the product and it is a good way for us to test the design proposal.
In conclusion I think as a designer we have the responsibility to figure out the solution of making the product works well and pass the marketing testing and also benefit the environment.
