“Design Can Change is simple. It works on the belief that our industry can make positive change by working together. Use this resource as a starting point to help bring our community together to encourage sustainable practices.”
Design Can Change is a non-commercial initiative which seeks to change the mindsets of the creative industry, making them aware of the challenges ahead in preserving our planet. It’s interesting to see a particular sector try to rally around this issue, and maybe other sectors may follow suit in due course. The site uses clear Information Graphics to identify and demonstrate damning statistics showing the destruction of Earth. You don’t have to be a designer to appreciate this site or its message, but if you are, then take the pledge!

Green Printer, an environmental printing company just came out with a useful
tool for climate change savvy designers: the Eco Calculator. Green Printer used
science-backed sources to calculate each org’s environmental impact – including
the amount of GHG emissions and trees saved – on the back of each paper product (business
cards, brochures, flyers, etc.). More is at greenprinteronline.com and on the
Green Printer blog at greenprinter.wordpress.com (please feel free to comment).
