Glimpses from Earthr.org
Earthr.org is a nonprofit organization aimed at creating an open platform to resolve sustainability challenges through constructive conversations and collaborations.
It all starts with a conversation.
A few people met over a casual hangout at the How can Art and Design Save the Planet? event to discuss sustainability-related problems like Equality, Pollution, Climate Change, Waste, Education (and more) and how Art and Design can be used as a medium for education and action.
The quality of conversations was enhanced by the diverse backgrounds - architect, graphic designer, stand up comic, entrepreneur, investor, student, activist, etc. and the group came up with a few short-term and long-term ideas which can be implemented in the city. (Aug 11, 2018)
