ME AND MIKE KEILHAUER
As bone-chilling February weather surrounds many of us, I’m going to spend a moment talking about the heat instead. And not the cozy kind I love to find once inside and away from harsh winter cold. I mean the heat that’s warming our oceans in a very alarming and rapid way, as per most recent headlines. Just-released data reveals 2022 was the warmest year since record-keeping began! The matter is inescapably here. Global warming is front-and-center business for our industry, too. We at Interior Design are resolutely joining this fight! And there is nothing that makes me plum happier than taking positive action…the “effective immediately” kind, of course. ; ) Therefore, and in some way befitting the new year, as 2023 finds its cadence, I am thrilled to share that Interior Design and teams have taken the high road toward carbon neutrality. Verbatim from our press release, step one is a year-long partnership with Keilhauer to offset all estimated carbon emissions, via verified carbon credits, for the printing and distribution of every copy of Interior Design in 2023—including the one you are now holding. Yes! My love note is a shout-out to my super pal Mike Keilhauer and all at his brand for their leadership in sustainability. And I can only imagine that, so inspired, we will soon collaborate similarly with many of our other partners and manufacturers, because that’s what we in the craft always do, after all: We solve problems…together. Problems small, medium, large, or extra-large. Finding innovative solutions is our stock-in-trade, as featured in the many stories inside this issue. So, let me now give a quick (carbon-free) cheers to all the designers, architects, and manufacturers that make our February wellness issue another document of the Design Ages. Let’s get into this fight together! xoxo
