Join us at the Seattle Design Festival Mixer and explore our current exhibition, “A Better Way to Go: Toilets and the Future of Sanitation.” Join a tour, participate in take-action activities, and enjoy beverages, bites, and connection with one another!
Imagine a toilet that works without water or pipes, treating waste safely and cleanly at the source. Nearly 250 years after the invention of the flush toilet, 3.5 billion people still lack access to safe sanitation. For those with sewer systems, aging infrastructure poses risks of overflow and inefficiency, especially under the pressures of climate change.
Don’t miss this chance to explore the future of sanitation and engage with innovative solutions that can ensure safe sanitation for everyone. Explore this urgent “WHAT IF?” question at the second of our Seattle Design Festival Mixers!
Event is free, registration is required.
