Since its launch in 2000, the sleek shelter magazine Dwell has helped popularize green architecture and design. In this interview, Alison Stewart of PBS’s Need to Know speaks with Dwell‘s Senior Editor Aaron Britt.

I think we really need to alter our habits … We need to think about, ‘What do I really need?'”
