With an X-rayed AK-47 stalking the cover of its first-anniversary issue, GOOD asks the question: 'Is there design this good that doesn't kill people?' The magazine provides plenty of answers with profiles of successful innovations, such as energy-saving CFL light bulbs, as well as less popular designs, like the stackable square Heineken World Bottles that were designed to be used as building blocks (they never quite caught on). In 'Education by Design,' Eva Steele-Saccio writes that the burgeoning green movement in school design has revolutionary potential. Though green-friendly schools cost about 2 percent more to build than less ecofriendly ones, their sustainable systems and lower energy costs could end up saving the schools more than $100,000 each year. -- Julie Dolan
