Green designer or creative

There is a huge role for the creative industries to play in transforming our economies, whether as a sustainable fashion designer making clothes out of recycled materials or pioneering vegan leather or as an artist who collects thousands of pieces of plastic waste to create art.

Creatives are uniquely positioned to push the boundaries of what’s possible and inspire change in their respective industries.

You could work in the field of eco-architecture, for example, designing buildings that have as minimal an impact as possible on the environment. Instead of clearing land to create new buildings, that could mean working in tandem with the habitats that already exist, using sustainable materials and the most efficient energy usage. Think buildings nestled in trees, grass on the roof to keep it warm, or a house filled with reclaimed items as furniture.
