The topics that will be discussed at the event include replacing polluting materials with eco-friendly ones, brands’ responsibility towards the environment, and sustainable architecture. Given that design is a democratic concept, the conversations will not be academic, but instead be made accessible for the general audience to gauge the gravitas of the climate crisis. The panel discussion will be followed by an hour-long mixer. The venue will also have a pop-up of various independent magazines.

“Ask yourself while making a purchase if you can substitute it with an already-bought alternative or do without it altogether. If the purchase is inevitable, opt for products that conform to recognised sustainability standards of organic certifications, emission standards and energy ratings.” 

-Ayush Chauhan

“I have cut down on buying books online because of the kind of packaging they come with and instead, visit stores in the neighbourhood for  the books I need. Also, while buying groceries or stocking up on chips, I take my own dabbas and get them filled up.”

-Bijal Vaccharajani

On August 23, 7 pm AT G5A, Shakti Mills Lane, Mahalaxmi.
