Green Design (or sustainable design) is the art of designing physical objects and the built environment to comply with the principles of economic, social, and ecological sustainability. It is a growing trend within the fields of architecture, landscape architecture, engineering, graphic design, industrial design, interior design and fashion design.

The essential aim of sustainable design is to produce places, products and services in a way that reduces use of non-renewable resources, minimizes environmental impact, and relates people with the natural environment.

Sustainable design is a means of reducing or eliminating negative environmental impacts while maintaining quality of life by using careful assessment and clever design to substitute less harmful products and processes for conventional ones.
