I have not seen the exhibit, but the National Building Museum in Washington
DC has "The Green House: New Directions in Sustainable Architecture and
Design"
The attached link,
http://www.nbm.org/Exhibits/greenHouse2/family/greenFamily.html takes you to
the family page for ideas.
Best of Luck,
Scott

Greetings all....
I'm wondering if I can get some help with some program ideas. We're under
construction, and our "new" building will be a "green" one. I'm looking for
some program ideas that tie in with things like:
reusing rainwater
problems with storm water runoff
links between bodies of water and people's health
water conservation
alternative energy sources
Clearly, I'm trying to present these ideas in a way that children can grasp.
I'd love to hear things you've tried, things that worked (or didn't) or
anything else you think may be helpful. You can reply offlist if you like,
although I'm guessing other people may be interested.
many thanks,
Alissa
