[BCMA] BC Museums and Climate Change - Stories of Action

[Moderated BCMA subscriber listserv.]

Museums,

We need to talk about climate change … and action. 

The Coalition of Museums for Climate Justice, co-chaired by Robert R. Janes and David Jensen, is looking for stories and examples of museums, galleries, parks, historic sites, science centres, archives, and other cultural institutions who are helping to make a difference in the face of climate change. 
Stories of “greening” museums internally like alternate power, recycling/reuse projects, LEED certified buildings, and so on.
Stories of informing and mobilizing the public through exhibits, programs and events like climate change exhibits, science marches, public debates, citizen science, and so on.
Share your stories and case studies with us here ... or on
