What might a vision for a sustainable economy look like? What are some proven, practical outcomes from such a broad vision? To explore these questions, come watch the award winning movie, The Next Industrial Revolution, featuring Architect William McDonough and Chemist Michael Braungart. The film highlights some of their sustainability projects in companies such as Ford, Nike, DesignTex, and Herman Miller.
After the movie, several of the Pittsburgh region’s designers and business leaders will share their thoughts, reactions, and attempts to integrate a sustainable vision into their products and practices.
Stay and participate in a discussion for how it is possible for our region’s businesses to continue transforming Southwestern Pennsylvania into a hotbed for sustainable innovation.
