Sustainability

The Natural World Museum is committed to sustainable business practices to minimize the negative impacts of our activities on the environment. We support a low-impact attitude toward nature and promote action as a solution to the effects of climate change.

NWM promotes daily action through recycling and reduction of waste, use of public transportation, energy and water conservation. Our programs seek to inspire individuals to make change locally and globally through direct action and community engagement.

We believe in carbon offsetts as a way to reduce the future effects of global warming. By offsetting our exhibits and programs we have planted trees and contributed to programs that will help the world develop a sustainable future. For more information on our carbon offset partner, visit Carbonfund.org.

The Massachusetts Institute of Technology
Media Lab, with the sponsorship of GM,
designed the City Car, a solar-powered, tiny

of energy and urban infrastructure.

The world’s energy consumption is expected
to rise 26 percent in the next 20 years.

Marine Current Turbines Limited, based in the
United Kingdom, has developed SeaGen, a 1.2
