Real-life Sustainability Studies

 As a designer I am committed to remaining as sustainable as possible, so that my projects never have a negative impact on the planet. I think that this should be a core value for all Landscape Architects as we have the opportunity to inspire real world change. I have been studying examples of impactful environmentally-friendly ideas that I come across in everyday life.

Some might call it nature's stairs, some might call it a suing-the-council goldmine.
