Hello friends, I'm happy for the created opportunity through which poeple can join and exchange ideas. I'm looking forward to making more friends around the world so that together we can explore.
Moreover, I just joined and I will appreciate if anyone can briefly explain to me, how things are done here.
Thanks.

The Designers Accord is a global coalition of designers, educators, and corporate leaders, working together to create positive environmental and social impact.
The Designers Accord is made up of over 170,000 members of the creative community, representing 100 countries, and each design discipline.
Adopters of the Designers Accord commit to five guidelines that provide collective and individual ways to take action. Becoming a member of the Designers Accord provides access to a community of peers that shares methodologies, resources, and experiences around environmental and social issues in design.

Background
The Designers Accord started in July 2007, with a call to arms (a "Kyoto Treaty" of design) written by Valerie Casey in this article: The Designer's Dilemma. An updated version of this article was published by DMI in May 2009.
Our mission is to catalyze innovation throughout the creative community by collectively building our intelligence around issues of climate change and humanity, and tackling those challenges with optimism and creativity.
We advocate inverting the traditional model of competition, and encourage sharing best practices so we can innovate more efficiently and quickly.
Adopters agree to carry out 5 Guidelines:
1. Publicly declare participation in the Designers Accord.
2. Initiate a dialogue about environmental and social impact and sustainable alternatives with each and every client. Rework client contracts to favor environmentally and socially responsible design and work processes. Provide strategic and material alternatives for sustainable design.
3. Undertake a program to educate your teams about sustainability and sustainable design.
4. Consider your ethical footprint. Begin by measuring the carbon/greenhouse gas footprint of your firm, and pledge to reduce your footprint annually.
5. Advance the understanding of environmental and social issues from a design perspective by actively contributing to the communal knowledge base for sustainable design.
The timeline of the movement growth and significant milestones are listed here: History

Every few years, the engineers toiling to supply energy to the world achieve advances that qualify as game changers. But often, the breakthroughs go unnoticed.

That may be because energy companies hate to broadcast details of their cutting-edge technology to rival firms. Or the key improvements may be too subtle to impress outsiders.

It is only years later that their profound impact on energy supplies and patterns of use become clear.
One such “stealth advance” occurred when Suncor
