Your Great-Grandchildren

Thursday, December 18th, 2008 jimisaacs

I recently submitted this as a story to MoveOn.org, of which I’m a member. On my agenda, even above the economy, and the war in Iraq, is the environment. It is this, because the planet is more important than any one person, people, or place on it.

Here’s what I submitted as my reasoning:

Imagine your great-grandchildren. They can’t just go play outside, they must bring an oxygen mask everywhere they go. Their skin can never see the sun, and they must fight for the small amount of food with the rest of the world’s population.

Just because you can’t prove things with concrete evidence doesn’t mean that you can do whatever you want until it happens. That is the way America has worked hasn’t it, “innocent until proven guilty” right? So that means, fast food isn’t bad for you until you need a heart transplant, cigarettes aren’t bad for you until you need lung surgery, candy isn’t bad for your teeth until you need a root canal, and global warming isn’t happening until you need to go outside in a rubber suite.

Battling greed is the start of any common change that is against the rich’s interests. Greed blinds common sense from these people and they simply don’t see these outcomes. How can we battle such disconsideration? I’m still trying to figure that out too, but this is a start for me.

First snowfall of the season
The first snowfall of the season- when we still get excited over the giant white flakes coming down, instead of damning their creation of grey, filthy slush. Carolyn, Masa & Connie attempt to catch some flakes out the window.

I’m always fascinated by the process designers go through (it’s why I’m pumped to be here everyday!).  Check it out.  I’m really glad they meandered away from integrating the “8″ into the graphic…

Also, interviews with Sol Sender, who led the design team, below.
