Design Can Change

I just found out about this great flash site, Design Can Change. It goes over the effects of global warming and how designers have impacted this through ineffective design, tonnes of paper waste, and un-targeted, un-solicited mail. As designers we are a contributor to the problem, but we are also poised to solve it, since (most) are not in a bureaucratic position, and thus have an advantage of appeal. Once you visit the myriad of slideshows, whether it be for natural disasters, facts about global warming, design waste, or future problems that might arise, you can take the pledge to be more responsible in designing and your studio will be featured in the directory.

Also, since I'm on the topic of sustainability, I'd like to throw a link out for a recent blog I found through the Behance magazine's "100 Tips to Improve Your Life" list, namely No Impact Man.

Enjoy, and hope you sign up as well!
