Moderator: Diane Falvey, Furniture, Lighting & Decor
The sustainability conversation needs a reboot. All too often, it feels like an all or nothing proposition. Either you’re in the green club or you aren’t. You have a certification or you don’t. But the reality is that many businesses operate in between, contributing to the sustainability of the planet where they can. The conversation needs to have a wider audience, and a wider acceptance, of what it means to be part of the sustainability story. This discussion will help you understand what sustainability can mean for interior design and how you can start making positive changes for a greener future.
