This year at the Ecological Design Collective has been inspiring. We've spent a full year on our new community platform, grown into our new role as an independent non-profit project, and continued to nurture connections and comradeship along the way. As we stride forward into the new year, we’ve taken a beat to reflect on the exciting projects, events, and conversations that curators and collective members have pushed forward in 2023. Read more about what we've accomplished this year, in a retrospective post by EDC coordinator Jonas Johnson.

We are grateful for all the ideas, commitments, and relationships that so many of you have brought to this collective space. At the same time, your financial support would also help us sustain this platform and ensure its viability. This digital space is tiny, but it takes several thousand dollars each year to maintain the EDC online platform and keep it running. Anyone can join for free, but we welcome any and all contributions. Please consider making a small tax-deductible donation to help us realize the dream of a self-sustaining EDC community.

REMINDER: Join the EDC this WEDNESDAY, December 20th, from 1:00pm to 2:00pm ET for a virtual watch party of two short films featured on the DC Environmental Film Festival’s web repository. Our virtual screening will be followed by discussion and fellowship with curators and members of the collective.
