If you’re thinking about going green with your own career, you may want to check out Design, Industry + Careers in the Age of Sustainability, a symposium/topical discussion hosted by RISD|CE on Thursday, October 22, from 7-9pm. Charlie Cannon, associate professor of Industrial Design and co-founder of RISD’s popular Innovation Studio, will moderate and be joined by fellow thought-leaders Matt Grigsby ’05 ID, CEO and co-founder of Ecolect, Dawn Oliveira, co-founder of Oliveira Textiles (environmentally friendly fabrics for the home) and Meaghan O’Neill, writer/editor for TreeHugger.com and co-author of Ready, Set, Green. CE promises that the symposium will help you learn which actions, materials and processes make the biggest eco-impact in the home and workplace, how to express your creativity while “doing the right thing,” and maybe most importantly, how to inspire others with your own enthusiasm for positive change. Tuition is $25 and you need to pre-register by completing a downloadable registration form.
