ON CREATING SUSTAINABLE EXHIBITS<\/h5>\n

Create exhibits that go \u201cbeyond green,\u201d by considering economic, social, and environmental aspects of sustainability.\u00a0It can sometimes be helpful to focus your attention on the decision-making process itself, not just the outcome. For example, ask yourself, \u201cHow can I (choose materials, host an advisory meeting, etc.) more sustainably?\u201d Then, think about all of the economic, social, and environmental ramifications, and choose the option with the most benefits.<\/p>\n

Visit www.ExhibitSEED.org for tools and resources including:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • Sustainable practices:<\/strong> Practical tips for incorporating social, economic, and environmental considerations into each phase of exhibit development: proposal writing, project management, content research and development, design, prototyping and visitor testing, production, evaluation, and end-life.<\/li>\n
  • Decision-making tool:<\/strong> An activity to use with your team, intended to inspire a well-rounded conversation that leads teams to decisions that consider all three aspects of sustainability.<\/li>\n
  • The Green Exhibit Checklist:<\/strong> A tool to evaluate the environmental sustainability of exhibits. It awards points in five key strategies for reducing the environmental impact of exhibit production, plus a sixth category for innovation.<\/li>\n
  • Material guide:<\/strong> An online guide that was created to help exhibit designers and builders choose materials that are better for the environment, visitors, and workers, and that make economic sense.<\/li>\n
  • Case studies:<\/strong> Individual case studies of how museums are integrating the three pillars of sustainability into their operations.<\/li>\n
  • Envisioning Sustainability:<\/strong> An activity designed to help teams explore the concept of sustainability.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
