What our community is saying

Great to be among so many thoughtful and creative people. For my part I am on a quest to help the public embrace the reality of climate change so we can honestly address how it affects society and culture and then intentionally co-create the future world we wish to inhabit. Both tasks require great imagination, expert storytelling skills, and innovative design. The climate movement needs creatives of all kind to help society understand this moment in history. I need others creatives in my life for collaborating, dreaming, and scheming ways to evolve our thinking.

— Peterson Toscano, Sound Design and Storytelling

Climate change is a global problem which requires global actions on billions of levels. I believe that bottom-up initiatives have lots of potential. I’m here because I want to share my knowledge and skills as a product designer and a teacher, work on open-source projects educational projects related to sustainability and basically do whatever I can to contribute to positive changes.

— Anna Kavouras, Design Research and Teaching

I have always felt drawn to nature and biodiversity and now I feel the need to do something as a designer to protect and regenerate our planet. So, I’m hoping this community can help me define a path to create meaningful projects with sustainability as a main focus.

— Fernanda Burillo, Product Design

I was feeling a bit helpless and lost, wondering what to do with this intense drive to put my creativity to work. It often would bubble up as a feeling of impending doom, although I knew it was coming from a place of love for the planet. Like so many others, I've struggled a lot with that climate anxiety (and general anxiety), but finally turned a corner and am ready to turn that anxiety into action.

I was really encouraged when I stumbled on this page, and can't wait to connect with and learn from this group!
