More Design for Change

Just a quick post:
My previous post 'design for change' caused a little bit of a stir and as a result I was handed some documentation by the head of environmental services at Laing O'Rourke detailing their carbon emission efforts.
As a company they've set up the Engineering Excellence Group which is an external and internal consultancy group, with one of their main focusses being on cutting carbon emissions. They again backed up their 50% cut in carbon emissions statement that I mentioned in the Design for Change post.
One interesting part of this literature was the fact that David Cameron recently visited the London Gateway Port, constructed by Laing O'Rourke which used the low carbon DfMA approach. He went as far as to say the project was an "emblem of ambition". If projects like this are gaining the political thumbs up, then perhaps in the near future we will see other companies adopting this approach with full government backing.
Hopefully with this sort of recognition it will start a trigger of ambition in other sectors too and start the ball rolling into a green and sustainable economy.
