Spreading the sustainable word

Busy weekend. I gave a presentation at the Northwest Environmental Education Council's NW Sustainability Conference. I was really surprised by the size of the group and how engaged they were, especially as it was the mid-afternoon session. As usual, my hemp Armani jeans and the Moscardino spork were big hits.

Monday, I went to a really great event organized by my friend Chris Olson, a kick off for No Vote Left Behind which will bring the creative talent and energy of the Seattle music and entertainment to inspire people to vote in the 2004 election. It was at the Crocodile Cafe...need I say more. I'm looking forward to getting more involved.

Today I gave a presentation at the UW Industrial Design program. A little about SSF and then the professor, Louise St. Pierre, asked me to comment on the students new projects. REALLY COOL STUFF! It's so exciting and inspiring to know that the next generation of designers is really into sustainability and that they are proving you don't have to compromise creative aspects in order to integrate sustainability. I look forward to seeing the final projects.
