ASID Partners With Mission Zero Community

Washington, DC, Jan. 15, 2009--The American Society of Interior Designers is partnering with Mission Zero’s new online community to facilitate the growth of sustainable practices and environmental advocacy.

The Website includes news, interactive education and social networking on a broad variety of environmental topics.

Missionzero.org users can design their own homepage based on their specific areas of interest, create blogs, ask questions to other users and join or create personal or corporate groups. Site content spans a range of broad categories including design, agriculture, natural resources, transportation, business and investing, society and culture, policy and government, health and home, events and food.

“We were eager to partner with Mission Zero in order to educate the public and our members on the ideas around sustainability,” said Thom Banks, deputy executive director for ASID.

“In the past consumers and businesses have faced an ongoing challenge of wading through a lot of confusing and misleading information on sustainable practices. MissionZero.org promises to cut through much of that clutter and provide a comprehensive resource for anyone, from those just learning these ideas to those on the cutting edge of new thinking and technology.”

Mission Zero was created by Interface Inc., an industry partner of ASID and the world’s largest manufacturer of commercial carpet, but doesn’t feature any sales or product pitches. Instead, the site provides extensive content from multiple sources, including news organizations, environmental and policy experts, and Mission Zero users.

Mission Zero’s founding partners are ASID, Digital Scientists, Greenbuild, Interface, International Interior Design Association (IIDA), Pew Center on Global Climate Change, Subaru, Unboundary, U.S. Green Building Council, and World Resources Institute.
