This is it. We made the initial cut and are now eligible for a $50,000 Pepsi Refresh grant. But we need your help. We know you're constantly bombarded by "asks" these days, whether from businesses or nonprofits, or just walkin' down the street. But we shamelessly need your vote.
If you're sick of having to sift through the greenwash to get to the real information about sustainable design, if you're looking for tools to make designing easier, if you want to see your industry stay competitive in a rapidly changing economy, then please, help us grow.
The bulk of the money will go toward overhauling and expanding this site—making it more user-friendly, making the tools even more useful, adding new tools and educational resources, and so on. A good chunk will also go toward launching a couple of wider initiatives to make the supply chain all of us designers depend on more sustainable. So far this has all been a labor of love, but to really reach the growing number of working designers out there, we need you.
You can read all about our plans, and then you can vote for us—once a day, every day, through the end of the month if you're so inclined.
If you have any questions at all, please don't hesitate to ask away. Thank you so much for supporting us, for participating in our efforts, and for contributing through your own design action!
Much love and thanks,
Jess Sand, Eric Benson, and Yvette Perullo
