Other recent student projects have included: • collaboration with JCPenney to eliminate all plastic bags from its stores; • the design of a more sustainable and attractive transportation system for Savannah, the SAVexpress, with the goal of motivating more people to lessen their use of private cars;
• the design of a new clothing brand, Savannah Blues, using locally grown organic cotton and organic indigo; • the design of a system called This Ain’t Junk that harvests building materials from old structures in Savannah scheduled to be demolished, transforming them into useful and attractive objects;
• and the creation of products that use sustainable materials, such as a soap dish from recycled glass and eco-resin, bull sheet paper made from cow dung, a biodegradable bird house made from garden waste, and firefighter boots from cork leather.
Upon graduating, design for sustainability students have a competitive advantage, possessing the skills and abilities to direct and integrate sustainable practices in multiple creative fields. They are empowered to become professional sustainability consultants as well as sustainability leaders in corporations and other organizations.
