The second day of How was awesome. The best speaker, honestly, I've heard was Eric Karjaluoto, from smashLab. He spoke candidly and personally about how we as designers can really change how we impact the world. Not by "green-washing" everything but instead by changing how we approach problems, how can I better solve this problem for a client. Add sustainability to your value proposition, as a practice, not as a preach. In other words, lead by example.
I took this to heart. It was the best speaker I've seen at the event. So in honor of sustainability. I went for a walk and took pictures. Unplugged for awhile and just listened to the wind and walked around. Found an entire army of baby geese chasing and playing. It was like the icing on the cake. Just overcast enough to keep it from being to crowded out, but nice enough to just sit on the water and enjoy everything. As a Yankees fan, I hate to admit it but Boston is really really beautiful.
