    I liked this article. I think a big problem with design campaigns is that they can be inspirational but not motivational. It's really hard for individuals to change their lifestyles. Although campaigns may be clever, have good support and may change some lives, getting whole societies to focus energy on big changes can be very difficult. I liked that they do research of the group they're targeting and find ways to interact with them that would be more conducive to them making a change. Design needs to not just be a band-aid for a problem, but rather a medicine that changes the problem.
