How to Save the Earth with a Sketch
For kids and adults — learn how to create a visual solution for real-world change using your pencil, a piece of paper and a few great ideas.
We believe in the power of a few simple sketches and some creative thinking to solve problems and create a better world. With a piece of paper or your favorite sketching app, a pen and your imagination, you can come up with new ideas to make a difference. Whether you're a kid or an adult, whether you want to help climate change, preserve wildlife, create new products that enrich life, or solve local crises... you can absolutely do it starting with a sketch.
Our team at Concepts paired with Earth Endeavours' International #WritingforNature Short Story Contest to create a conservation-based visual thinking guide to show you how to take an idea and turn it into a plan for helping our Earth. Follow along with this guide to learn simple problem solving techniques and find a great solution for any idea.
