o2 UK in collaboration with [Re]design, WestFocus, SDN and others is compiling a list of '100 ideas to create demand for sustainable design in the UK.' The ideas will be presented to the Sustainable Design Steering Group by 31st August 2005 in time for inclusion in the proposal to ministers at the Sustainable Design Forum scoping meeting in October.

The process of generating and ranking the ideas will take place on the 17th August at 17.30 - 20.30 at the Design Council (www.design-council.org.uk). Opportunities to make a real change like this don't come around often. This is a very important event and all are welcome for an evening of inspirational direct action!

If you can't come in person please don't despair - we still need & value your input. We will be obtaining a phone number for you to ring in your ideas throughout the event. We will also give you directions to a blog that we'll use to collect ideas. Details to follow.

o2 UK member John-Paul Frazer is co-coordinating the event and can be contacted on bioinspiration@yahoo.co.uk. Please let JP know if you will be coming to the Design Council so he can organize logistics in good time.

The report can be downloaded here - look for the rooster - and you can also add your ideas there as comment or on the o2UK website
