Steven Heller (has anyone written more books about design?) came out with a book in 2003 that hasn’t received much attention. Citizen Designer: Perspectives on Design Responsibility.  The book examines and critiques through essays and interviews three areas in which designers practice and in which responsibility to oneself and society is essential: Social Responsibility, Professional Responsibility, and Artistic Responsibility.  It’s not just about sustainable design.  It’s about not wasting your talent on endeavors that don’t enrich the planet or the soul.
