There are multiple versions of sustainable design principles that apply to different sorts of design frameworks (landscape design, product design, architecture, etc) Though they may all look different at first glance, deeper study will reveal their underlying adherence to the basic idea that sustainable design seeks to mimic the way ecological systems work. You should be able to recognize correlations across many of the different lists that various people have developed
For this assignment, review the different versions of the principles listed below. Feel free to seek out additional versions as well. One you are familiar with the ideas these lists represent, choose principles that most resonate with you and adapt them so that they apply to your daily life or career choice. For each principle in your list, give an example that is relevant to yourself. Your list should contain at least 5 principles.
