Vancouver design studio SmashLAB has created a new resource for graphic designers concerned with global warming: Design Can Change. The site, which is still in it's early stages, is meant to be a comprehensive source of information and inspiration on sustainability for environmentally minded designers, and it is already chock full of data (though rather difficult to navigate). There's even a pledge you can sign and plans for a community directory. While I wish that it wasn't just about environmental issues, but rather the entire scope of socially conscious design, it's definitely a nice introduction for folks who are just becoming aware of graphic designers' power to effect positive change in the world.

Eco-savvy designers may be interested in checking out how they can print the exact amount of GHG emissions cut, gallons of wastewater avoided and trees saved on the back of each client's paper product with each quote they submit (including business cards, brochures, flyers, catalogues, etc.) via www.greenprinteronline.com's automatic, "eco-calculator".
