"Sustainable Refrainable" Words of Persuasion: A Design Contest

Designers are always looking for effective ways to work more sustainably and to move their clients to more sustainable ends. The CompostModern Core77 Design Competition invites designers to create a poster that articulates the words or advice they find most effective in communicating the good stuff. See the full brief and submit your designs over at the Core77 competition page.
