A twice-weekly sharing of eco-shwag.
Today’s giveaway is a pair of tickets to SEEing Green 2: Moving Beyond Green, a conference that’ll “explore how brands can move beyond green by widening the way we think about design.”
You’ll learn new ways of approaching sustainability for designers and their clients. We will discuss business strategy, best practices for responsible design and production (without compromising aesthetic and cost), and methods to create informed and relevant brand positioning.
Speakers include Aaris Sherin, author of SustainAble; Duke Stump, Principal & Chief Architect of The Northstar Manifesto; Kevin O’Donnell, Al Gore’s Climate Project speaker and director of WD Ecologic. There’ll also be recast content from Compostmodern, AIGA SF and AIGA’s Center for Sustainable Design annual conference in San Francisco. Plus you’ll get coffee in the morning and a sandwich buffet in the afternoon.
When: April 25, 8 am – 4 pm
Where: Skirball Cultural Center, 2701 N. Sepulveda Blvd., Los Angeles
Cost: Free if you win the tickets here. Otherwise, regular tickets cost $60 in advance, $75 at the door (if still available). Discounts for students and AIGA members are available; check the website.
Comment or email by Sunday letting me know why you want to go to Seeing Green 2 to get into the drawing, which’ll happen Monday (more info on freebies here). US addresses only.
Sounds like a great event, and my girlfriend (who runs http://geogiahealth.com, a massage therapy and personal training company that’s going green) and I would love to go!

i would love to go – it’s exactly what my design studio needs, since our focus is on “sustainably responsible graphic design for sustainably responsible businesses”tm

I think this would be an awesome source of information that we can then use to educate our clients. I deal with tons of freelance designers and the more information I have, the more information they have!
