For nearly two decades o2 has pioneered solutions to a central problem of the made environment: how to foster sustainability while having a good quality of life. The people in this forum have been wrestling with the problems of a throw-away culture, formulating non-polluting production methods, sourcing nontoxic, sustainably managed materials, innovative sustainable product services, sustainable lifestyles, behavior and consumption, and crucially, passing on the knowledge.
The basic idea of the o2 Global Network is "global thinking and local action". Global information and knowledge is exchanged and discussed. Local groups, mostly non-governmental organizations, or o2 individuals organize lectures, projects, workshops and distribute newsletters to promote, educate and implement design for sustainability with all of its facets in mind.
The network involves people with a background in engineering, design, industrial design, architecture, graphic design, arts, fashion, innovation, as well as people from academies, universities, public authorities, companies or knowledge centers.
