o2 connects people interested in sustainable design. In order to do so the network uses primarily electronic media.
Main tools are this o2 mailinglist and the o2 website, though local o2 groups/liaisons might use newsletters, lectures, workshops, events, guestcolumns etc.

Website (http://www.o2.org)
The o2 website is a major source of information and inspiration for anybody interested in sustainable design. The Netherlands Design Institute produced it in collaboration with the o2 network. The website supports information and knowledge exchange among designers and entrepeneurs engaged in the development of environmentally sustainable products and services. It's aim is to fill the gap in the information needs of designers and companies.

The network involves people with a background in industrial design, architecture, styling, graphic design, arts, fashion, innovation, etc. and people from universities, public authorities, companies or knowledge centres. They all have specific knowledge and examples to share.
