Urban people nowadays long for things that are natural and green, with eco-friendly designs becoming especially popular. "System Reload", an international network of designers for sustainability, takes green thinking to another level at their London workshop. They're taking part in a unique three-day event for anyone interested in sustainability and social design.

Two of the event's organizers, Damien Melotte and Cindy Kohtala, say they hope to create a worldwide network and a means of communication where eco-design ideas and experiences can be shared in an open-sourced manner.

Damian Melotte, organiser of "System Reload", said, "System Reload is a travelling international events platform, exploring the deep, green thinking around issues of sustainability."

Melotte and Kohtala are hoping the workshop will help others to design their own lifestyles to be more sustainable. To do that takes a rethink of one's life, and someone who's been working on that process is eco-designer Lili Larratea. Her appropriately named boardgame invites players to give everyday objects an eco-friendly makeover.
