As a designer it has always been the place I look to keep my eye on the pulse of trends. This exhibit proves Design can SAVE our world! It is efforts like this that will educate our world that using design think to problem solve is smart. Looking to the design world to problem solve our greatest challenges as a global community affords us teams of people skilled at collaborating and creating in an efficient manner. From the Tree Hugger site: John Bielenberg has a mission: Change The World. And there is one method that keeps that lofty goal from being mission impossible. Bielenberg formed Project M - a design program that challenges participants to quickly and with little or no resources effectively tackle one small goal and implement change through design. It's a test of pure energy and creativity, and it's incredibly successful. Check out videos of the actions Project M has inspired. Project M's purpose is to inspire designers, film makers and artists to use their talent and creativity for the greater good of the world. http://www.treehugger.com/files/2009/02/john-bielenberg-gives-designers-48-hours-to-change-the-world-video.php John and the world of design are working to bring change through creativity and collaboration. http://www.projectmlab.com/ Powerful things are happening!!
