Graphic Edition
Wallpaper for the Planet
EcoCentric has made 4 eco-friendly wallpapers. It has a eco-friendly design, as each wallpaper is inspired by different environmental problems. They are also printed on eco-friendly paper with eco-friendly ink.
EcoCentric will also donate £2 (of the £29.95) to "Friends of the Earth" for each roll sold. You are getting interesting design and helping the planet all at the same time.
Rainforest
Uses vibrant colors and exotic patterns to capture the essence of the Latin rainforest and emphasize the endangered agriculture.
Bittern
Is inspired by the Bittern, a bird that lives in reed beds. Only 50 pairs remain, and with rising sea levels due to global warming they are under threat.
Fossil
Lights the simple natural beauty found in ancient fossil footprints, whilst drawing attention to the question of the footprint this generation will leave.
Eco Highway
Is inspired to encourage children to think about their carbon footprint; the design features futuristic cars that run on milk instead of petrol.

I understand how design can be eco-friendly, but I fail to understand how any of these wallpapers could be attractive in situ.

Well... eco-friendly "design" may be the wrong way to explain it. What I mean is that the design is made to illustrate enviromental challenges.

I can buy into the fact that these may be made with more eco-friendly methods and materials. I can buy into the fact that they may depict challenges with the environment. I struggle trying to understand how a design can be eco-friendly or not.
