Welcome to the reDesign Blog! This is AIGA Minnesota's first Sustainability Website.

We hope you find it a great resource for your growing questions and interest in sustainable design and the many issues linked to it. In the past there have been many small movements trying to guide designers in a "greener" direction, but these days it's hard to ignore the growing interest in sustainable design.
