West Coasters and spring time West Coast visitors should keep an eye out for Design Green Now events making their way from Washington to Southern California. DGN is an ongoing series of *free* panel discussions focused on sustainable product design. Panelists from companies like IDEO, frog, fuseproject, Nau, and ZIBA, and institutions including The Designers Accord, Art Center, Sustainable Style Foundation, and o2 will share with the audience the green projects they are currently working on, the challenges they face, and the tools they use for successful sustainable design.

The tour kicks off on April 1st, 2008 at Western Washington University in Bellingham and will continue down along the coast to other design universities like The Art Institute of Portland, California College of the Arts, and California State University. At the end of the tour, DGN will provide video coverage of the events as well as a dynamic list of resources and tools for designers on the official website.
