Abstract: In various embodiments a computer-implemented method for providing sustainability insights to a user designing an object. The method includes determining a value of a sustainability metric associated with a design of an object; determining a target value for the sustainability metric; determining an amount of progress made towards achieving the target value for the sustainability metric based on the value of the sustainability metric and the target value for the sustainability metric; and displaying, via a graphical user interface (GUI), a visual indication of the amount of progress made towards achieving the target value for the sustainability metric.

Abstract: In various embodiments a computer-implemented method for providing sustainability insights to a user designing an object. The method includes determining a first value of a sustainability metric associated with a design of an object, displaying, via a graphical user interface (GUI), a visual indication of the first value of the sustainability metric, and detecting a change to the design of the object. The method further includes, in response to detecting the change to the design of the object, determining a second value of the sustainability metric and displaying, via the GUI, a visual indication of the second value of the sustainability metric.

Abstract: A dispenser for dispensing materials is provided including a container for holding the material to be dispensed, a plurality of frame portions for holding decorative items, locking apparatus for locking the frame portions to the container, and a dispensing means for dispensing materials from the container. The dispenser also includes a base for receiving the container and frame portions, a memory device for playing a sound when the dispenser is removed from the base, and a switch for activating the memory device when the container is removed from the base. The plurality of frames each contain an aperture and each aperture contains an inner edge operable to lock onto the container. The frames each contain clips to lock onto each other and hold the container. The dispenser includes a dispensing mechanism and the base includes an opening for receiving the dispensing mechanism.
