Design Can Change

Design Can Change is an initiative that helps designers make the environment a bigger priority while uncovering ways to combat climate change.

The website is an online portal for graphic designers to learn more about global warming: the issue, potential for change, actions to take, the community building around it, and resources for further learning. The premise for the entire project is that designers play a large role at the beginning of lots of different projects and businesses; by educating them on how to design with more sustainable practices, they can make more positive proactive change rather than waiting to band-aid the problem later.


Take the pledge

By joining with other designers we build critical mass. This helps us illustrate our strength when we lobby government to institute change and ask suppliers to make sustainable options available. Additionally, those who sign the pledge are automatically listed in the Design Can Change directory, which allows green- conscious buyers to locate like-minded designers.

This website really inspired me and that although they are not a design company themselves I think it would still be a really good idea for me to get in touch with them whether for just some general feedback on my design work or how to tackle this issue of sustainability and design.
