I was listening to this Ted talk (clipped below) on design and this quote jumped out at me.
"Advertising is a price people pay for being unoriginal."
It raised questions for me about what would users tell their coworkers, friends and others they campaign about Green Media Toolshed. What do we want them to say? How are we original?
In 2000, we started Green Media Toolshed to serve the movement and help environmental groups communicate more effectively with the public. We are committed to that vision.
In the last several years, the world has changed. Communication is no longer just a challenge of reaching out but continues to be a challenge of connecting within and across our movement.
