BENEVOLENT BARON

GOOD Transparency put together this cool little video that shows how seemingly insignificant everyday decisions can drastically affect your water consumption:

On the Colbert Report, Emily Pilloton of Project H Design explains how her organization aims to create genuine social impact through humanitarian design.

I’m such a sucker for this kind of stuff.  It’s probably my inner-architect, whom I exiled during college, trying to squeeze back in.

The grand irony is that I quit my pursuit of architecture because I felt that there was not enough potential to create genuine impact through design alone.  In retrospect, it seems surprising to me that it went down like that, because I went to a very Modernist school, where “form follows function” was the law of the land.

I’m just glad that so many others have found ways to put their skills to good use.
