Our Footprint, Matthew Laws
To live sustainably we all need to understand our impact on our surroundings, but information on this topic is often intangible, shocking and based on ethical assertions:
‘The great global climate catastrophe!’, ‘Green Living!’, ‘Top ten ways to be more eco!’
This project uses a creative and experimental design approach to communicate how we use our energy, where it comes from and how this has to change. I hope that through my work people can form their own convictions based on scientific fact, empowering the individual to act more sustainably if he/she chooses.
