Green Day

You've probably never been happier it's Friday, right?

Just think, you can visit this blog on Monday and I will be done hitting you over the head with my endless eco-diatribe.

Come Monday you can throw recyclable cans and Compact Florescent LIghts out the window of your SUV and try to hit me and Olivia as we bike to work. (Okay, I'm not currently biking to work due to an unrelated foot injury, but you get my drift.)

I promised you a two-week break of green-related blogging.

But you're not out of the woods yet, my friend. Because your local AIGA is hosting their second SEEing Green conference tomorrow, and I can talk all about it during Earth Week.

So if you're not heading over to the Los Angeles Times Festival of Books tomorrow and Sunday (a highly recommended FREE event), you can swing by the Skirball Cultural Center to
"learn new ways of approaching sustainability for designers and their clients."

Speakers on hand will include:

  • Aaris Sherin, author of SustainAble: A handbook of materials and applications for graphic designers and their clients (Rockport Publishers), will discuss "Sustainable Problem Solving"

  • Duke Stump, Principal & Chief Architect of The Northstar Manifesto, former CMO Seventh Generation and VP Nike delivers a Bonfire on the cultural changes affecting how we approach branding in "Shift Happens"

  • Kevin O'Donnell, Al Gore's prolific Climate Project speaker and director of WD Ecologic, presenting "Green Design - Thinking Beyond Deliverables"

  • If you want to be really Green, they even tell you which Metro Rapid Bus to climb aboard to get you there!

    More info is here at the AIGA | LA site.

    Oh, yes, you're going to relish your weekend, aren't you?

    (If you haven't had enough of me and crave more, be sure to check out speaker Duke Stump's "The Real 100" site and prepared to get lost for hours.)
