Green Design Summit 2009 presents “Behind The Scenes with HGTV Green Design Girl Mariela Campo.”
Please click the above player to hear my Green Design Summit interview, recorded live via a Toronto/Denver webcast on June 24th, 2009.
I was thrilled to participate in this interview, as there are several well respected and high profile green experts taking part in the summit, including Planet Green’s Ed Begley Jr. [Living With Ed] and Graham Hill [Treehugger.com Founder]. See my previous post on the Green Design Summit for a complete list of featured experts.
The webcast was a fabulous experience, professionally interviewed by Green Design Summit’s Gail Doby, expertly organized by Gail and her GDS partner Erin Weir, and followed by some great live questions from our global audience. I’ve been feeling the Twitter, Facebook + e.mail love ever since.
The interest in green design is indeed growing and I’m finding it all very inspiring. This summit is a fantastic idea and well overdue. Designers Gail and Erin are working hard to make it a success and I have no doubt that it will be, given their passion and the number of amazing speakers that were quick to sign on.
