nem sempre.
o designer john thackara colocou em prática uma dessas coisas que todos nós, pessoas que gostariam de fazer a diferença no pesadelo ecológico em que vivemos, já pensou em fazer:
i recently received an invitation to discuss design and development with a wonderful group of design peers in a beautiful location. but i have decided to decline the invitation. why?
it is my growing conviction that, as designers, we can usually do more good in our own backyards than in foreign parts. it is, in principle, great that many colleagues donate their time and expertise to projects such as $100 laptops, emergency shelter, and mobile hospitals. but i can't get it out of my mind that i personally, along with most other us or european citizens, emit as much co2 in one day as someone in tanzania does in seven months. and if i go as a tourist, even an eco one, i'll use as much water in 24 hours as a villager who lives there, uses in 100 days.who needs whose help here?
a íntegra no design observer.
