Think You Can Design a Better Climate Change Poster?

Our friends at the Canary Project have recently launched a new initiative, called Green Patriot Posters. Taking inspiration from posters during WWII promoting conservation of materials for use in the war effort, they’re asking Americans both famous (Michael Beirut, DJ Spooky) and regular (you and me) to submit posters encouraging conservation and environmentalism now.
You can submit your own on the site (see some below) and other users can vote on their favorites. Big vote-getters and other favorites will be distributed through a variety of channels. Michael Beirut’s first entries—calling for more posters and for the creation of green-collar jobs—were plastered all over buses in Cleveland.
Check it out. Perhaps you have a cool poster idea that will end up being seen by millions.

I love these designs.
This seems like a great project for design and art classes around the country. So cool. Those folks from Canary Project are amazing.
Ed Morris from The Canary Project here. Yes, Max, to art classes around the country. We are working with RISD (college kids) and middle school students as well on posters now. So if any teachers/professors/activists out there want to get in touch with us we have curriculum ideas….
when does the poster submission end?
