PaperSpecsThanks to Sabine Lenz at PaperSpecs and author Brian Dougherty, we can learn more about "Green Branding." Below are a few exerpts; you can read the entire article at PaperSpecs. According to Dougherty; "Green branding is a form of design activism. Designers help companies articulate the values that give them purpose, then use those values as a framework for communications. This helps define the company in terms that most people can relate to." Effective green branding is built on three pillars:
  1. Greener Programs and Products
  2. Clearly Articulated Values and a Vision for Sustainability
  3. A Strong Communications Campaign
