Color and the Environment

This weeks classes we pretty interesting, not including all the snow and ice to go along with them. ha.  Monday's lecture was about color, and it's crazy for me to think about the importance color has on our world. Company's put so much money into research to find what colors help us get different feelings without even knowing it. I think it's awesome that Mcdonald's uses red and yellow as their colors because it makes us hungry.  It also amazes me how we associate so many different moods and feelings with colors.  My favorite color is green, and what it's associated with seems to fit me so well.
Even though many people scrutinize the whole "green movement" going on right now, it really is necessary if we want to continue living on this planet for many years to come.  I loved seeing what just a few designers have done to help the process of reversing the damage we've done to our planet.  The Livesaver water bottle was definitely my favorite invention of the ones we saw today. The fact that it could be given out to so many people around the world so they can make their own clean water is just awesome to me.  I wish there were some way to get people from around the country to donate just a few dollars apiece so we could get everyone who needs one, one of these bottles.
