Social Sustainability Conference in Seattle

November 7, 2009• bySeattle Gay Scene

Social Sustainability Conference by OUT for Sustainability is on Saturday November 14, 2009 from 1pm – 6pm at the Hyatt at Olive 8 (the first LEED certified “green” hotel in Seattle).

Election results are showing that Seattle voters care about diversity and social issues, in addition to the environment. Social sustainability is the next frontier of the green movement. Social issues and environmental issues overlap in everywhere. Put another way, sustainability is everything, not just carbon and climate. Gender, education, race and housing are all areas that impact and are impacted by the environment of our planet and our how we treat our local and global community.

Join OUT for Sustainability for our 1st annual conference to discuss “what is social sustainability?” Speakers on 5 panels join us from the city, county and state government, local businesses and non-profits. The goal is to see how demographics and logistics intersect and impact each other, to build awareness into action.

Seminars include:

  • 1pm Gender + Healthcare: Focused on access for women and transgender people.
  • 2pm Age + Community: Focused on planning community for urban elderly.
  • 3pm Class + Education: Focused on the impact of resource differences by area.
  • 4pm Orientation + Family: Focused on the non-political side of domestic partnership.
  • 5pm Race/Ethnicity + Housing: Focused on the debate between affordability and density.
  • Register for as little as $5 here.
