Question by candy_land_02: Whats the difference between Green Design and Sustainable Design?
Best answer:
Answer by h4ckjack
The answer would have to focus on the “niche of difference” that stands between having the preservation of the ambient as a goal compared to having infinite fuel available for your cars as a goal.
Example: The hydrogen engine can be categorized under “green design” category because it’s main feature is to be emission-less thus ambient-friendly. At the same time it can be categorized under “sustainable design” because the Hydrogen and Oxygen that are used to create the workpower needed to fuel the engine are so common that they wouldn’t run out in reasonable human time frames (since the engine emits water which can be divided in Hydrogen and Oxygen, ready to be used as fuel again alas – overly-simplifying it – losing “a bit of their touch” every time they are used).
The most evident examples of “sustainable energy” thou are surely the solar and eolian (wind) energy: since the Sun and the wind will always be there running 24/7, the energy we obtain through our technologies doesn’t WASTE any kind of resource. It merely takes advantage of something that’s wasting itself anyways. So it is pretty obvious that “sustainable” is so because it’s “green”. That doesn’t mean that everything that’s “green” is “sustainable”. It might just lack in quantity here on Earth.
By now you might have nurtured the need to understand about the perfect “Sustainable Design”. Only if you take the Universe as a whole you are able to see such mechanism: in here no energy is wasted but merely transformed into something else, usually heat: particles pass from “ordered status” to “chaotic status” and are unable to reach “ordered status” again if not through the help of even more “chaotic” particles.
Welcome to the basics of Thermodynamics :]
