Live the solution: the graphic adventure of Jane Genovese

The first input that I want to share with you today is the amazing work of Jane Genovese, that you can find here:
Live The Solution 





Jane, illustrator and psychologist, was tired of arguing with skeptics about Global Warming and in general the effects that human actions have over the Earth.
So, she decided to focus her energy on educating people who were willing to listen and make a difference.

She did it throught the realization of some funny and instructive Mind Maps. You can see one of them in this post - my favourite! I can see a printed version every day in front of me at my office... it helps a lot in remembering what is important, and is beautiful. Who says that learn and talk about sustainability should be boring? This is just the first of a lot of times that I will repeat this sentence :)
You can find more maps here: http://live-the-solution.com/mindmaps/

Furthermore, she did an amazing ebook called Global Warming: A Mind Mapper’s Guide to the Science and Solutions; I suggest everybody to dowload a copy and take a look. The first chapter talks about the "wake up call"... her aim is to start many little calls, to let the people understand that there is something wrong going on, before is too late. And rethink our way to see the world and our life.
I can't wait to have more time to finish this colorful and inspiring reading :)

The website has a blog too, and a fast roll suggested me that over there there are a lot of interesting topics. For example, how about  Talking to teenagers about climate change?

Let me know what do you think about this project. And spread. Maybe you can put your favourite mindmap on your office too, or at home. I'm sure that those beautiful graphic expressions would let also the most skeptical think about the issue :)

Adorable illustrated smiles, 
Agnese
