We heard from sustainability experts at @MillerKnoll who gave us a glimpse into the company’s sustainability efforts. Recording here: https://t.co/iV518QIc1X. Main contributors to their #supplychain #carbonemissions: #materials and #electricity. Select those materials carefully!

[Healthy Materials Lab @parsons_HML]

Design that exemplifies responsible material practices, from using #healthiermaterials, to sourcing responsibly to considering the #productlifecycle. Check out this exhibition from Parsons alumnae at Donghia healthier Materials Library @parsonsdesign

Like lead there is no safe level of asbestos exposure. @parsons_HML

[Leila Fadel @LeilaFadel]

Did you know asbestos isn't banned in the U.S.? I didn't. This stunning investigation by ProPublica and NPR is worth a read and a listen: "They inhaled asbestos for decades on the job. Now, workers break their silence" https://t.co/6ne2fGETWU

[Ben Smith @semaforben]

Thrilled about the team we're building @semafor, and just sent this out.

Sign up https://t.co/d0wfXMNMUj to be part of the launch.
