THE SHIFT
The Shift is a project, set up by illustrator, graphic designer and eco-living advocate Ellie Good, with the intention of encouraging sustainable consumerism. When multiple folks make small, individual changes to their shopping habits, big changes can be made.
Easy to dip in and out of, the website makes it super-easy for people to find tips, which make to their daily lives more future-kind. Even if we only get 200 people switching from using hand soap in plastic bottles to bars of soap, that’s a big reduction in plastic consumption. But - imagine what could be done if 2,000 people engaged with several of these tips!
Using people power, we can create a shift in consumer behaviour. Why wait for the government to make laws for big companies, when the shift can be made with consumer influence and demand…
Choose a tip, put it into practice and tell your mates over a cuppa. Let’s get this SHIFT going!
