Challenge 113: Green New Deal: Leave It Better Than We Found It

Having worked for a green home energy company for about a year I’ve learned a lot about how much we contribute here in the USA our carbon footprint onto the world….even in places like our own homes. Making sure your home runs efficiently and cost-effective these changes are much needed for both your wallet as well as our environment. Fast forwarding to 2019 I have and continue to take responsibility for what my artwork represents and gets printed on. As a designer it’s important to practice responsible design without sacrificing quality of the art. Every business can do their part to be environmental-friendly and making it a lifestyle to protect our planet. The Green New Deal to me is just simple common sense and our responsibility as capable human beings to preserve our natural resources by keeping them free of toxins all while, keep our air, waters, and earth clean. We are also responsible for the many species on this planet that cannot keep up due to our own destructive advances that our Earth simply cannot keep up with. The Green New Deal is the perfect solution to making humans be responsible for our own actions as a whole, and will be a huge step in the right direction. 

There is much I have to say on this topic as the Green New Deal can address the following and help our planet in so many ways such as:

* No more oil - more electric, solar, and wind jobs

* No more plastic - switch to bio-degradable materials including lotus flower and bamboo fiber for our clothing in result eliminating microfibers and waste dumped into our oceans

* No more toxic pesticides and GMOs - eating cleaner and living longer healthier lives with less illness and deformities while keeping our air clean

* No more toxic pollutants in our air - if things are done right by practicing clean energy in our businesses, production plants, transportation and more, our air will be cleaner and healthier to breath resulting in a cleaner healthier life for all. 

* No more toxic jobs - more jobs that result in healthier environments, non-toxic work spaces, and more jobs to preserve our environment over destroying it.

Leaving it better than we found it is the solution to so many problems happening globally, and I am glad that our government is finally starting to represent that with the Green New Deal. Let’s work together on an individual level and hold our politicians and big money companies accountable on a national and international level to make it happen and have a better future for everyone!

Hello! :)

I’m an illustrator always happy to create something amazing together with you (and I love clients!- really!).

Let's talk about me:

Name: Maria Luiza Lenzi but you can call me Malu. Place of birth: Campo Grande/MS - Brazil (where summer never ends) Current location: Berlin/Germany (where all the cool artists are - ha! kidding) Occupation: Illustrator and Surface Pattern Designer Class: Cute Maker Status: always hungry. Favourite colours: Candy colours and Mondrian  Tools: Adobe Illustrator, Pencil (eraser!), black microns pens, Tombow pens and Watercolour. Something quirky that almost nobody knows: I never know song lyrics so I sing meow meow meow instead “real words”. Always up to: people watching and do kids stuff - have an ice-cream, play video game/board game/lego/puzzle, draw, dance, watch cartoons, real or imaginary tea with real/imaginary friends…. Really proud of: have lived in some different cities/countries, being optimist, my self-discipline/persistence and doing everything with heart. Also for getting married with an awesome husband/partner in adventures/Game Designer. Favourite Holiday: Christmas (also love birthdays - mine is 27th May) Experiences from the past: Architecture classes with Urbanism thinking - the beginning of my true love about art and society. Advertising/Marketing world taught me a lot about listening (clients and creatives) and develop Love for creative thinking with targets. I studied Consumer Behaviour and I wanted to do more. All my personal disappointment with digital thinking led me to Jewellery Design Classes and to the big break through: I want to create things with my hands. I want to be an artist! And i’ve been studying and growing every day since then.
