Abstract
This paper introduces sustainable design applications for
small businesses through the Life Cycle Assessment and
supply chain publishing platform Sourcemap.org. This webbased
tool was developed through a year-long participatory
design process with five small businesses in Scotland and in
New England. Sourcemap was used as a diagnostic tool for
carbon accounting, design and supply chain management. It
offers a number of ways to market sustainable practices
through embedded and printed visualizations. Our
experiences confirm the potential of web sustainability
tools and social media to expand the discourse and to
negotiate the diverse goals inherent in social and
environmental sustainability.
