Since the trends involving pretty much everything in our lives are moving towards being environmentally friendly and conserving our natural resources, I wondered if we could apply some of these green lessons to web design.

Noticed this morning that the FTC is holding workshops and taking comments on environmental marketing, to reduce the amount of greenwashing that happens in the building and textile industry:

Thank you, Barry.  It's great seeing posts at Sphinn that are concerned with how we can design and market responsibly, and consider the impacts of how we interact with the world.

I'd love to see more here.  :)
