Our second guest writer for Greengaged.com this week is Dan Lockton, researcher in Brunel University's Cleaner Electronics Research Group investigating design for sustainable behaviour, in theory and practice. Dan attended Greengaged last year and having spent the day with us again on Monday, for Ed Gillespie's Design for Life session, has written a wonderfully intellectual review of the day as it happened. Read Dan's full feature story here, and to follow coverage on both his theoretical and practical work, visit his blog 'Design With Intent'.
