Welcome to Sustainable is Good where design, lifestyle and packaging meet.  Please pardon our appearance over the next few months, we're working on making some improvements to the site to make it better than ever. 

Sustainable is Good grew out of my interest in leading a more sustainable lifestyle.  The blog's title represents a way of life where sustainability, quality and design are valued in everything we do. 

I'm also interested in packaging and products and the connection between consumers and businesses producing these items.

As the site has grown we've focused increasingly on design and the role design plays in producing a sustainable product and its packaging. 

Gradually a whole philosophy developed where design plays a key role in the choices we as eco-conscious consumers make.

Moving forward we are going to remain focused on greener products and packaging and the whole lifestyle associated with being sustainable in the home.

Feel free to email me at rider [at] sustainableisgood [dot] com with any questions or feedback.  Please participate in the discussion and post your comments & links on the blog.

Sustainable is Good purchases 100% renewable energy from People's Power and Light.  All of the energy we use is green.

Thank you for taking the time to visit Sustainable is Good.
