- What's new at the CFSD
Since its launch in 2006, the AIGA Center for Sustainable Design has become the central place within AIGA to focus on sustainability issues related to the design community.

The Green Salon concept has been embraced by chapters and CFSD members have become familiar speakers at design conferences and commentators in design publications and blogs.

The past year’s acceleration curve on sustainable issues and awareness has been nothing short of meteoric. Now that candidates are touting “green-collar jobs” and alternative fuels as the means to lift us from the current economic doldrums, people are more interested in sustainability than ever before. Accordingly, Compostmodern is now an annual affair — endeavoring as always to provide designers and business people the inspiration and the tools necessary to build a more sustainable future.
Come join us in San Francisco on February 21, 2009 for a day of fresh design thinking and some hands-on dirty work. Confirmed speakers, event status and past presentations can all be found on the Compostmodern 09 website. Registration is available online.
