Love this!!!
Posted ⢠.1 NOT YOUR FAULT >> If youâre a designer-maker, the climate crisis is absolutely not your fault.
71% of all the carbon released into the atmosphere since the industrial revolution has been emitted by just 100 companies.
Countless governments had the chance to solve this issue before you were even born.
And there are billionaires mass-producing crap and sending rockets to Mars while our home planet burns.
None of this is your fault. Itâs just not.
But/andâŚ
While 55% of todays emissions could be eliminated by moving to green energy, 45% come from producing every day products â a tiny proportion of which you make.
So you have the opportunity to make a difference â if you choose to.
An analysis of successful social movements has shown that only 25% of people need to to make a stand before large-scale social change occurs.
So if you want to be part of the solution â part of that 25% â sign up for Net Zero via the link in my profile and learn how to reduce your own carbon emissions as well as those of the people around you.
If youâre in, I canât wait to meet you. We can do this!
CAPTION >> The words âThe climate crisis is not your faultâŚâ are set in black Futura text on the first slide above an illustration of a flame. The words ââŚbut you do have a unique opportunity to make a differenceâ are on the next above an illustration only three leaves on a stalk. Both slides have a paper-brown background.
