Building on his work with the Conrad Foundation and the Gay Straight Alliance Network (GSA Network) to make public schools better and safer, San Francisco interior designer Ian Stallings found new sources of inspiration at Global Green’s 7th Annual Gorgeous and Green Gala last week, and is sharing some of tips he learned at the event.

Like everyone else, I tend to get caught up in the minutiae of my daily life and sometimes forget the importance of our environment, said Stallings. I do the basic things, like composting, recycling and using public transportation as much as possiblebut there are so many things I can do within my business to help the planet.
