## David Bergman to Speak on “Mainstreaming Green” at Westchester County Green Drinks Event

Westchester County’s Green Drinks group (which I run) is celebrating the holiday
season with a special event featuring a top voice in sustainable design. Architect
and author David Bergman will deliver a talk titled “Mainstreaming Green” at the
Flying Pig in [Mount Kisco, New York](https://greenlivingguy.com/2008/12/westchester-county-green-drinks-book-signing-and-heading-up-green-drinks-westchester/).

The event offers local professionals, advocates, and anyone interested in sustainability
a chance to learn, connect, and share ideas. With environmental issues growing more
urgent, discussions like these help make green strategies part of everyday business
and community life.

### About David Bergman

David Bergman is a leader in sustainable design thinking. He’s known for making 
green principles accessible, practical, and appealing—not just for early adopters,
but for the mainstream. As an architect and educator, he helps clients see how sustainable
solutions can improve quality of life, reduce costs, and support the planet.

His book, “Sustainable Design: A Critical Guide,” is widely used by designers and
students who want real-world strategies for incorporating sustainability into projects.
Bergman’s work focuses on breaking down barriers to green adoption by showing its
clear benefits across industries.

### “Mainstreaming Green” – What It Means

At this Green Drinks event, Bergman will explore what it takes to move sustainability
from the niche to the norm. How do businesses make green choices standard practice?
How can communities remove obstacles to sustainable design?

By addressing these questions, Bergman aims to inspire attendees to think differently
about how they work, build, and live. He’ll share case studies, practical ideas,
and a vision for making sustainability an integral part of modern life.
