We ask that you help us find solutions to climate change.


<<INSERT ELECTED OFFICIALS NAME>>,
 
I am a graphic designer. Those in my profession are involved in the design and marketing of almost every product and service you can imagine. We work with all levels of business, industry and government and shape how organizations communicate and present themselves.
 
I recently signed the Design Can Change pledge. This effort represents the collective efforts of a number of graphic designers around the world, who feel that climate change is a serious issue in need of immediate action. As a group, we are working to reduce the amount of waste generated by our industry, while building awareness around the issue, with our clients, suppliers and communities.
 
I’m contacting you today with two requests. Firstly, I ask that you visit www.designcanchange.org and learn more about our efforts and how we are working to impact positive change. Additionally (and this is the most important part), I’m asking you to make climate change a greater part of your mandate. 
 
Although I’m sure that you have many concerns to balance and consider, this one affects every single person on the planet; furthermore, I believe this topic will be key to the next election. In fact, climate change is one of the issues that I will be most sensitive to in considering who to vote for. I am urging my friends to vote similarly.
 
I trust in your ability to help us make positive change for the electorate, and all of our global neighbours. I also appeal to your moral sensibility at this critical time to make this issue key to our government’s mandate.
 
Thank you,
