Dwell on Design Defines “Bein’ Green”
As Kermit the Frog croons, “it’s not easy bein’ green.” In a time when the buzz of being green has become a bewildering noise, redefining sustainability is paramount. Besides tossing the empty bottles in the blue trashcan, driving a Prius instead of a SUV and buying designer chemical-free dish soap, what does it mean to be green in 2011?
Dwell on Design, the largest design event of the West Coast, once again brings together the latest innovations and leaders in sustainable design, architecture and products to answer this question.
Aaron Britt, Senior Editor of Dwell Magazine, explains the eco-conscious emphasis, “Sustainable design has been in Dwell’s DNA since the beginning. In bringing the pages of Dwell to life at Dwell on Design, there is no reason for that focus to change. We’ve got an entire stage dedicated to green design – the Sustainability Stage – and there you’ll hear from architects, designers, gardeners, and energy mavens.”
