This event, presented in partnership with The New York Climate Exchange and the Lower Manhattan Cultural Council, starts with the premise that waste is a design flaw—in packaging, products, and the design and operation of our buildings and communities.
Speakers from the Center for Zero Waste Design, the U.S. Green Building Council, and CET, will lead a conversation sharing concrete steps architects, builders, building owners, and operators can take to eliminate waste and implement the circular economy in the built environment.
Guests of this event are welcome to join The New York Climate Exchange for a brief tour of Governors Island and lunch at the Lower Manhattan Cultural Council before the program begins.
