Go Green With the Experts
We all know the phrase "Think Global, Act Local." We've seen it everywhere — on buttons, posters and bumper stickers, encouraging us to adopt smart habits in our personal lives, like recycling and efficient energy use, to help the planet as a whole.
Sustainable Sundays takes that familiar phrase and turns it into an engaging, creative, fact-filled 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 scientists and guest researchers to weigh in on issues that affect us all personally as much as globally.
A forum for the Museum's experts and visitors
It's not just a lecture either — Sustainable Sundays is a forum for bringing Museum visitors together with the 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, preserving our environment and protecting Earth's biodiversity.
Sustainable Sundays brings it all under the microscope, and when it's over, we hope you'll be informed and inspired to get involved. Knowledge is power, they say, and Sustainable Sundays is your key to turning that power into action.
