Exhibit to showcase solutions for sustainable future; Open house Dec. 9

Being able to design, make泭and sell responsible and sustainable products泭shows we can use design to actually change people's behavior and the world.

These students are pushing boundaries and showing the rest of us what the future of products will be: a thoughtful, responsible泭and sustainable future where users care more about the story and environmental responsibility of a product than just buying the next shiny thing.

As 51勛圖厙 and the United Nations Human Rights co-host the Right Here, Right Now Global Climate Summit,泭the students of Environmental Design are making waves by showcasing their design work related to climate change.
The public unveiling of the work began at the Firefly Handmade Market on Pearl Street, where泭environmental product design students constructed a pop-up shop泭to showcase and sell泭their泭designed and manufactured products. Many items sold out as the public snapped up the sustainable products, made primarily from upcycled and diverted waste.
Each of the products offered commentary on climate change and were accompanied by a story and process video showing the students design and manufacturing process. After the pop-up shops success, products were selected and included in a more extensive exhibition of student work related to sustainable design solutions.
The curated exhibition, Thoughtful Climate Solutions for the Here and Now,泭will showcase product design and projects highlighting sustainable architecture and landscape solutions to mitigate climate change. The exhibit will run Dec.泭19, with泭an open house celebration on Dec. 9. Make plans to visit泭the exhibit, and see what the next generation of environmental designers has in store for us.
Please note: Items will泭not be for sale at the open house or the exhibition.泭Visit the or on Instagram to learn more about the shop.
