Today, August 13th, is International Left-Handers Day, and we here at LGBG would like to salute lefties all over the world. We feel that focusing on left-handers is congruent with our belief that the most important component of sustainability involves the human factor and investment in people. As such, spotlighting left-handers helps to raise awareness of the difficulties this group of people face in activities of daily living with the lack of adaptive product design for their use. Additionally, the attention to the unique needs of lefties fosters greater consideration of the adaptive requirements of lefties by the right-handed majority population.
