The Green Design 100
Call it responsibility or accountability. Or simple popular demand. The rarefied world of design is embracing the environment as never before. Top architects are implementing revolutionary methods. Fashion and furniture mainstays are manufacturing products using sustainable materials. And luxury empires are establishing credos on issues their customers are still waking up to. Behind the scenes, trailblazing executives are taking big risks to make it all happen — beautifully.

India's bustling open-air markets left a lasting impression on Chatwani, 33, who, as a member of eBay's Global Citizenship team, partnered with World of Good founder Priya Haji to open worldofgood.com, an online marketplace to promote fair trade and sustainability. The website, which launched last fall, has over 20,000 product listings, linking artisans from more than 85 countries to eBay's more than 86 million active customers.
