Perspectives on Sustainability

Institute for Human Centered Design
180-200 Portland Street, Suite 1, Boston, MA 02114
Come learn about ACE's perspective on EJ and sustainability. This event is free and open to the public.
Join The Green Roundtable and leaders from four local organizations for a panel discussion about how their organizations approach sustainability in their work. Through their lenses of community design, universal design, environmental justice, and green jobs and business development, the panelists will explore questions such as:
What does sustainability mean to your organization? Why did you decide to do sustainability work? How does your organization address what is called the triple bottom line of sustainability--integrating environmental, social, and economic sustainability? What are examples of some of your projects based on sustainability principles?
Following the panel discussion will be an opportunity for participants to ask questions of the panelists. The panelists for this event are: Brandy Brooks from Community Design Resource Center, Valerie Fletcher from Adaptive Environments, Marina Spitkovskaya from Alternatives for Community and Environment, and Galen Nelson from the Boston Redevelopment Authority. Kira Gould from William McDonough and Partners and the AIA Committee on the Environment will moderate the panel discussion.
