When: Wed, June 25, 7:45am - 9:00 am
Where: Hyatt Regency, Seattle, WA
As part of the 2025 ReFED Food Waste Solutions Summit, discover how Seattle Public Utilities, in collaboration with the Global Impact Collective, used human-centered design to explore scalable, community-driven food waste prevention opportunities and partnerships. This interactive panel and breakfast session will share learnings from a six-month discovery phase with businesses, nonprofits, and experts—exploring how cities can catalyze change and how you can apply these insights within your own organization or community. Join the conversation and contribute ideas to help shape the next phase of this innovative initiative.
Judith Hochauser Schneider, Global Impact Collective and Sheryl Anayas, Seattle Public Utilities will be moderating.
✨ Cleanup the shoreline at Myrtle Edwards Park w/ Women and Climate
When: Wed, June 18, 5:00pm - 7:00pm
Where: 9Zero Climate Innovation Hub, 1215 4th Ave 15th Floor, Seattle, WA 98101
The most sustainable clothes you can wear are the ones you already own. With some basic skills, you can rescue more of your favorite items than you might think, and you don’t need any experience to get started.
You bring your broken things - your mending guide Karen LePage brings everything else. The theme is summer things, so bring lightweight clothing made from linen, cotton, or technical material that needs a little LLC to wear for summer adventures.
☀️ Seattle Climate Innovation Hub Open House
When: Thu, June 26, 2:30pm - 4:30pm
Where: 9Zero Climate Innovation Hub, 1215 4th Ave 15th Floor, Seattle, WA 98101
Connect with the region’s climate innovators, sustainability advocates, and ecosystem partners who are making a major impact.
This event is designed for climate tech entrepreneurs, sustainability enthusiasts, investors, and local innovation partners. Join us for light bites and engaging conversations, where you can connect with like-minded individuals who are shaping the culture of climate and innovation. Share ideas and collaborate with fellow visionaries in an inspiring atmosphere.
🎨 Art Therapy in the Park: A Climate Collage Workshop
When: Thu, June 26, 5:30pm - 7:00pm
Where: Volunteer Park Ampitheater, Seattle, WA
Join Climate Designers Seattle for a relaxed and welcoming art therapy workshop where we’ll be making collages with recycled materials — no experience needed, just an open mind.
What to expect:
- We’ll use creative prompts inspired by climate action to guide our reflections, but this isn’t about being “good at art”, it’s about slowing down, reconnecting, and having fun with the community.
- Magazines, glue, scissors, paint, and brushes will be provided — but we encourage you to bring extra materials (like old papers, fabric scraps, or found objects) to share!
- Light snacks and drinks available. Please bring a water bottle and sunscreen, and come as you are.
⭕ Building a Circular Future
When: Sat, June 28, 9:30am - 6:00pm
Where: Georgetown Steam Plant, Seattle, WA
Join us for an interactive day centered on community-driven circular economy solutions in the Duwamish Valley and across the region—see the Eventbrite link for the full day’s agenda.
