Help Empower a New Generation of Sustainable Designers

SUPER BOWL! Thanks to Pepsi's decision to spend their Super Bowl ad dollars on social change grants instead of crappy TV spots, Re-nourish is now deep in the game for a $50,000 Refresh Everything grant! But we really, really need your help for this. I know you're constantly bombarded by requests for help, for money, for time, but I am shamelessly asking for your vote. It takes just a few seconds, and it could change everything for us.

If you're a graphic designer, Re-nourish is a resource built just for you to sift through the greenwash to get to the real information about sustainable design. We believe that empowering designers to integrate sustainable design thinking into their work is the key to keeping our industry competitive in a rapidly changing economy.

If you're not a graphic designer, Re-nourish is still working on your behalf by reaching out to the creators of all the printed stuff you interact with every day, helping them make it better, safer, and more responsible.

The bulk of the money will go toward overhauling and expanding Re-nourish.com—making it more user-friendly, improving the interactive tools, 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 February if you're so inclined.

All we gotta do is make it to the top 10 by the end of the month—and we're already well within range! So, please, take just a couple of seconds if you can spare it, and don't hesitate to leave any questions in the comments below.
