New Book Introduces E-Design™

Online, May 29, 2010 (Newswire.com) - CHARLOTTE, NC, May 29,2010 - E-Design™ is a business and life philosophy that advocates, and creates, sustainability. For too long we have thought of only the immediate or short term implications of our actions. The farthest ahead we can think is "within our lifetime" or "for our children's children." But we are responsible for preserving this planet far beyond that timeframe, and teaching future generations how to sustain it properly. And we have to do the same with our businesses and infrastructure -- it all works together, impacting our future. Design With The End In Mind (Greenway Press, http://www.designwiththeendinmind.com) can help you discover how E-Design™ -- a fresh, environmentally conscious, more efficient kind of design that brings higher profits while doing the right thing for the natural world -- can help your business succeed during these difficult economic times.

J. Mark Smith, the author of Design With The End In Mind, is President/Founder of Environmental Design Landscape, Inc. (http://www.edlnc.com), a Charlotte-based Commercial Landscape Company established in 1997. Smith is the creator of E-Design™, a revolutionary new system of sustainable design, and a method of waste elimination from your life, business and design.

He is the current President of Carolina Green Industry Network (CGIN) (http://www.cgin.com) a non-profit organization for the Green industry whose core mission is to raise the level of professionalism in the industry, raise awareness in the community, and provide members benefits through collaborative opportunity and education.
