Hi Kirsty,

You will be happy to know that soon there will be a another "new" responsible design organisation in the States. Myself (Andrew Sweatman) and two environmentally responsible designers (Brian Dougherty of Celery Design and Sophia Wang of Apple Computer) are looking to start up O2 West Coast, USA.

We are planning to have a general meeting in early October 99 in the Bay Area of San Francisco. So if anyone is interested in joining or contributing please email me and I will keep you up-to-date as things progress.

Best regards

Andrew Sweatman
