Design us a Stuff-O-Meter
The amount of matter and energy wasted during the manufacture of a single laptop computer (like the one your're using now, perhaps) is close to a thousand times its weight on your lap. But this vast ecological rucksack remains invisible - out of sight and out of mind. Designs of the time (Dott07) has teamed up with Design and Art Direction (D&AD) in a challenge to design students to come up with a stuff-o-meter that would lift the veil on the hidden history of the everyday products we take for granted.
