Name of the Social Innovation: Green Museum
Founder/Initiator/Leader/Developer of the
Innovation: Henry Corning
A
green museum is a museum that incorporates concepts of sustainability into its
operations, programming, and facility. Many green museums, but not all, use
their collections to produce exhibitions, events, classes, and other
programming to educate the public about the natural environment. Many, but not
all, green museums reside in a building featuring sustainable architecture and
technology. Green museums interpret their own sustainable practices and green
design to present a model of behavior. Green museums strive to help people
become more conscious of their world, its limitations, and how their actions
affect it. The goal is to create positive change by encouraging people to make
sustainable choices in their daily lives. They use their position as
community-centered institutions to create a culture of sustainability.
