I was lucky enough to attend the New Zealand Trade and Enterprise ‘sustainable design for the bottom line’ conference on Monday in Auckland.

one word – mind blowing.

12 sustainable business leaders spoke about their dream of what the world ‘could’ and ‘should’ look like if we all decided to take this ‘sustainable’ business challenge seriously.

It was obvious by the end of the day that  DESIGN can make a difference and New Zealand could show the world how it’s done.

The only bummer about the day was that only the 400 people at the conference got to hear these great stories. However, I believe over the coming weeks betterbydesign will be releasing online videos of the presentations. In the meantime, click here, read through the list of speakers, follow the links to the individuals websites and do some exploring of your own. I guarantee you will find something that will challenge the way you think.
