Can designers save the world? (and should they try?)


Summary: The main thing that I took from this article was the part about how designers don't have anything (except the fact that we're all in the same profession) in common. We don't all have the same views, not all designers think about ethics and who are we to tell them what they can and cannot do. The same also applies with people in general, who are we to tell them how to live their lives? These are definitely things to think about.

There was also a lot mentioned in this about the procrastination of people to take action. Everyones complaining, no ones acting and although the argument on global warming isn't settled, if it is an issue, what can/are we going to do about it? Is it even our place to make a change or does that responsibility lie with politicians?
