Extinction

Natural resources take form after a very long time and have extremely low recycling rates. However their destruction by humans takes place incredibly fast. Considering their vital importance to living things and urban life, the difference between the rates of formation and consumption of these resources will mostly threaten the existence of the threatener itself.

HOW TO CHANGE YOURSELF

Step 1: Accept and admit that you need to change. This is a huge step. The fact that you already clicked on this article shows that you want to change, and know somewhere you have a problem.

Step 2: Think of all the things in your life you want better. Make a list of all the things, or the thing, that you want to change.

Step 3:Dont set any limits to your change. If you think maybe, someone will make fun of you for trying to change, or maybe it isnt possible, or that you just cant, realize that it doesnt matter! Its a psychological change, so attitude plays a big part in your ability to succeed. Set small, easy goals that you know you can achieve and work your way up.

Step 4: Write the steps that you need to take to achieve the changes you want.

Does graphic art have a sense in times of urban crisis?

When you live in a city that has too many problems and city officials do not understand Architecture, Urban Design & Environmental Graphic Design and access to basic needs of life is difficult for many people, and when their Environment, Beauty & Art are not considered the Graphic Arts performance loses its Communication feature and becomes Decorative Art.

Now, our humble reader, your views. What do you think graphic design can do for the environment? Can it really inspire real action and real solutions or is it nothing more than clever designs? And where do increasingly popular infographics sit in all this? Have they helped promote the importance and role of graphic design for social change or replaced it forever?
