The
Design Green Project is the first
of its kind to honor and reward
designers' creativity, from around
the world, for their excellence
in designing 'Green' for a better
planet – in the disciplines
of art, branding, environments,
fashion, packaging, photography,
print, design green, and now interactive.
All designers who participate
in this unique competition will
be part of the solution to the
Global Warming Crisis by replacing
one of their old light bulbs with
a compact fluorescent light bulb
provided by The Design Green Project.
Additionally, there will be a
tree planted in their name and
50% of all proceeds will be donated
to the
StopGlobalWarming.org
fund, just for entering.
Due to incompatibilities in voltage
and connections, designers who participate
outside the United States will not
receive a light bulb, however, a
tree will be planted in their name
and 50% of their entry fee will
be donated to the
StopGlobalWarming.org
fund.

We will also provide an estimate
on how many pounds of carbon dioxide
has been saved, trees planted,
and light bulbs given away during
the duration of the project.
The emissions for each light bulb,
awards/prizes, and shipping were
calculated by Cooler Inc. The
Design Green Project will purchase
offsets to reduce those emissions.
