Mr bobby you are wrong to think that the use of the item you design is of your concern. Designers need to consider that in their initial specifications. Where are the models we buy used the most? The track or the park will be the most common answers. How do you get there? On the train, bus or by car.
There's no point in having a model that uses little carbon in manufacture when you need to burn fuel to use it!
I think a massive can of worms has been opened here.
My opinion is why should I care about my footprint when there are companies spilling oil, cutting down rainforests etc etc. Some will think that's the wrong attitude but I'm sure there are many who agree with me.
