Do The Green Thing is an website that I came across whilst doing research for COP. They describe themselves as being 'a public service for the planet that uses creativity to tackle climate change'. This is a subject area that I am seeing on a more regular basis and have a growing interest in. Being aware of these impacts is important as it a current ongoing issue that is sculpting the way we live as individuals and as a population. This therefore has an effect on the design that we creatives produce.
Every two months there is an issue published that 'challenges the unsustainable status quo through long-form arguments and creative provocations.' These issues are written in a very real tone of voice, with a straight to the point argument that many would be intrigued yet shocked by.
The most issue released is named 'Why Santa must die'. The first of all shocking title demonstrates the serious yet playful nature of the article which goes on to explain the trauma that overconsumption is causing on our planet. As well as going into detail on how we as a population are harming the planet, the article also explains ways in which this can be taken under control. This is what sets this 'service' apart from others as many tell you what you're doing wrong but not how this can be changed.
