The main problem with the issue with climate change is conveying a physical example of how it is changing things in the present rather than how it may affect the future. This design helps to give the user a visual reference and make people stop and think about how they could be affecting the nature around them. By choosing the shape of a leaf the natural element of the design is clearly shown and it is made from paper which has biodegradable properties which means that it doesn’t cause as much harm to the environment as using materials such as plastics may have. I like this design as it gets the user to think about how certain aspects of their life may affect the environment such as what may be the effects that putting on the heating and how that might change the thermostat and the possible impact it may have on the environment.
