Consume less but better, in a more intelligent way. We have many industrial designers designing objects almost daily that help you re-use broken or outdated furniture at little cost. Or designing more effective, durable, and often simpler furniture. So how would the graphic desiger have to position himself in that environment? How can we encourage people to consume intelligently, through the communication-devices we create?...I think it's every designer's responsibility to get the broad public more and more used to smart advertising and communication. Untill the day they're officially tired of buying soda simply because Spears does so too. …Here in Europe, many see “recession” as the way to go : live better or as good with less means.

Here are a few more ideas, primarily re: graphic design: 61. Spec recycled, unbleached, wind-power produced, or synthetic paper. 62. Spec local (local printers and local paper production/warehousing) to reduce freight impact and spec green (some printers are starting to participate in carbon neutral or other eco-friendly programs). 63. Spec alternative printing processes like waterless. 64. Educate your clients: many don't realize that using greener processes can be comparable in both cost and quality to conventional methods. We certainly need more professionals stepping up to the plate and serving as examples for the rest of us. Great post! Here are a few more ideas, primarily re: graphic design:
