Hey folks-
The following are a few links dealing with Life Cycle Assessment and the design process. I didn't get many responses from the PD alum list, so I hope this is a useful place to start for some of you.
And please let me know if you come across any other great resources. These are things we all should keep learning about.
Thanks,
Stephan
