Maybe the government isn’t doing something about climate change, but someone needs to. Climate change is real and gets way less attention than it deserves.  Carbon pollution is destroying our planet. This is serious.  As a consumer I don’t want to feel responsible for climate change, but the truth is we all are. We are all responsible for making life on Earth more difficult for everyone, especially those living in harsher conditions. Weather disasters affect low income people and people of color; this is not fair; this is social injustice.

We’re all people; we all have our own lives and worries to deal with. Climate change isn’t what we would call urgent; it happens over time, and its not something we believe we have to deal with right now. Tipping points are the only thing that seems to move us. When we actually see the destruction we believe we have to take action, and feel a moral obligation to do what is right.  I can start by doing what’s right by taking part in the people’s climate march this September. Throughout time the people have been able to send this message by going outside their homes and spreading the word. It’s in the people’s hands.

As a future designer I want to be innovative, and I want to have a more sustainable vision or way of thinking.  Maybe the video didn’t really send out that message to designer, but as a person I feel that I can take part in fighting climate change through incorporating sustainability with design.Right now all I can do is join the March and do my part in living a sustainable life, but in the future I want sustainability and design to be presented as a package because we are running out of options.
