IDSA presents the Okala Design Guide 2007
Everyone knows it's not easy being green, but if you want to get greener and don't know where to start, this here handy lil' guide could be a nice option for ya. IDSA's just published the Okala (hopi for "life sustaining energy") Design Guide for 2007--it's an "introduction to ecological and sustainable design for practicing and beginning designers...It envisions a future where we recognize the value of global ecology and work to insure its protection." This year's revised version, supported by Eastman Chemical Corporation, Whirlpool Corporation and the IDSA/EPA Partnership, serves to emphasize usability to designers and design students.
The Okala promo site gives you a sneak peek at a few sections, but if you want the whole shebang, you'll have to cough up $19 for a copy. If it's a crew, and not just you, discounts are granted for larger orders, and apparently, over 60 D-schools in North America have already requested copies.

The Okala team is committed to making Ecodesign information accessible. It's not about profit - hence the $12.50 price tag. Profits that accrue go directly back into the IDSA Ecodesign Section to fund further research around ecological design, find more ways to disseminate information, and hopefully to inspire more designers. We will keep moving forward with this work. (Tip: watch for what we'll be doing for ICSID 2007.)
