Anelle Gandelman “I am concerned with how quickly we have polluted our planet in the space of a century, how it seems to be accelerating exponentially and how that will impact our future.” |

Breegan Jane “One of my life’s missions is to leave the world in a better condition than I received it. I believe the most spectacular design elements stem from Mother Nature’s beauty, and I sincerely believe I owe much of my creativity to her.” |
|
Clodagh “My focus is life enhancing design, which supports global wellness and joyful peace for ourselves and our environment. There are zero degrees of separation between all living things in this beautiful world.” |
|
Jennifer Jones “As designers we have the power to effect real change by harnessing our clients’ purchasing power to support sustainable manufacturers, local fabricators, and specifying eco-friendly materials and fixtures.” |
|
John Douglas Eason “Simply put, it is irresponsible and inexcusable to not care about sustainability. I have an obligation to care for the ecosystem that my life is physically dependent on, to imagine otherwise is insanity.” |
|
Laura Hodges “I care deeply about sustainability because I feel that it’s our duty to take care of this planet in any way we can. Every day we see the very real impact of being careless with our environment and, in an industry where we are always creating newly built environments for our clients, I feel obliged to make sure that we’re doing so responsibly.” |

Laurence Carr "It is incumbent on us as professionals and consumers to make more responsible choices as we source materials, products, and furniture in order to protect our Earth’s natural resources." |
|
Libby Langdon “The environment provides natural elements for every living thing on our planet. Our forests remove pollutants from the air we breathe, our wetlands store storm water, filter pollutants, and recharge where most of us get our drinking water; and the dune systems on our beaches form natural barriers to waves and provide a habitat for wildlife. Most of us take these things for granted but we have to all work now to ensure they don’t go away.” |
|
Robin Wilson "Good design choices promote good health, inside and outside.” |
|
Thom Filicia “As an interiors and product designer, I think it’s important to always continue learning and striving to do better, which includes making efforts to do what is best for our planet, the place we ultimately call home.” |
