The American Society of Interior Designers (ASID) is partnering with Mission Zero's new online community to facilitate the growth of sustainable practices and environmental advocacy.
The Web site aims to educate, inspire and empower people and companies and includes news, interactive education and social networking on a broad variety of topics.
Missionzero 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.
The site's Web 2.0 features include widgets, the ability to save your favorite articles and Internet browser plug-ins.
"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, Hon. FASID, 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 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."
