Recognize Earth Sticker Campaign

June 5th, 2008

About a year ago I felt, as many others have come to feel, obligated to do something about my impact on the environment. Now I know it's easy to take for granted the benefits of a lifestyle without climate responsibility, as we all have, but collectively our neglect has caused undeniably damaging effects.

I started changing things within my means like switching light bulbs, recycling more, updating appliances, using electricity only when needed, even paying a premium to support green energy electricity sources instead of standard carbon emitting fuel sources.

Eventually I came to realize that most of us fail to change our lifestyles because we are used to focusing on near-future concerns or can't foresee results of our actions. No matter what the reasons for not taking action in our lives to think forward and solve our climate crisis, we have too much on the line to ignore this problem. I believe even the smallest steps to reduce our negative impact, matter.

One day I decided to use my graphic design skills to create a sticker that can be placed where people can see it, and be reminded that there is problem. I'm having a short run of these stickers made to distribute to others, while developing a community based web site forum to collect thoughts and inform each other ways to take earth conscious action.
