Here's an upcoming event on design thinking hosted by AIGA in San Francisco and available to watch online:

Compostmodern is fertile ground for sustainability. Presented by the San Francisco chapter of AIGA and the AIGA Center for Sustainable Design (CFSD), this interdisciplinary conference explores the range of design thinking necessary to create a socially and ecologically responsible society. Designers, manufacturers and business leaders come together to find inspiration, share knowledge and explore real world opportunities for transforming products, industries and lives.

Compostmodern 09 will be held at the Herbst Theatre in San Francisco on Saturday, February 21. For the first time, the event will be webcast live (9:00 AM to 5:00 PM PST) and will be available for 90 days following, encouraging online participation and satellite events at AIGA chapters and educational institutions everywhere. To sign up for the webcast, visit the Compostmodern website.

This sounds great and is a direct reflection of where our country has to begin it's evolution to rethink how we are to take care of the Earth.

This definitely sounds worth checking out. I just browsed the website and was glad to see that the event can still be viewed. I read the bio of John Bielenberg and am particularly interested in his presentation. Thanks for the info.
