Dear colleague;
 
Innovations and new perspectives burst forth each year on what is “green”,
how to be sustainable, and what the most environmentally sound solutions are
for the museum field. 
 
The Green Museums Initiative, established in 2006, sees the annual
California Association of Museums (CAM) conference as an opportunity to test
these ideas and share them with the museum field. A truly green conference
isn’t necessarily something you can readily see, so we work to make these
ideas and our process visible, both at the conference and on our website.
 
The Green Museums Initiative and CAM invite you to visit our website and
read the second installment of the Greening the Conference: Walking the Talk
series. These online booklets not only provide an overview of what CAM has
accomplished but also a road map of ideas for you to use for improving the
sustainability of your museum, association, or business.

Warm Regards,

 

The Green Museums Initiative Committee
