Sustainable Sundays

 

Go Green with the Experts and Fellow L.A. Residents

Think Global. Act Local. Sustainable Sundays takes that familiar phrase and turns it into an engaging, creative day that shines light on a host of conservation issues and helps connect visitors with organizations dedicated to environmental causes.

We invite you and your family to take part in this stimulating monthly series, bringing together Museum staff, local organizations, and guest researchers to lead activities, demonstrations, and workshops.

Sustainable Sundays is a forum for bringing Museum visitors together with experts to create a lively, constructive discussion on finding green, innovative local solutions to far-reaching global problems, from climate change and water conservation, to land use, to preserving our environment, and protecting Earth's biodiversity.

If knowledge is power, Sustainable Sundays is your key to turning that power into action.
