Cultural probe research...

i'm in my 4th year of Product Design in Edinburgh College of Art. In order to create something good for the environment, usefull and aesthetic i need to do some research. I have a strong interest in eco-design and eco-lifestyle, therefore I started noticing how much of an eco sinner I became. sometimes "eco" is a very misleading form used to increse sale, therefore consciousness is extremely important. we are all being targeted by greedy companies, who want to take advantage of a new eco-culture.
I put a lot of thinking in a form of my research and using the technology available is the only way to avoid using paper, ink, disposable cameras and petrol (royal mail uses cars to deliver mail).

The research is
a survey
a couple of tasks (for example to take some pictures around the house and send it back to me)
well... that's pretty much it.

so if you are interested in making your surrounding a better place, please send me your e-mail address with a title YES I DO so I could send you a questionnaire and tasks.
it's important to get as many people involved as it's possible so ... if you know anyone (either for or against being eco) please get them to contact me on... ecosinner@googlemail.com

many thanks
joanna
