California Acadamy of Sciences

Motherlode staff recently visited the new Exhibit about Climate change in California and building green at the California Academy of Sciences.

Motherlode River Center currently is in the process of integrating a new curriculum on Sustainability Practices. This trip to the museum was a perfect way for our staff to get better insight and more learning tools.

The Exhibit featured:
-Calculating your own carbon footprint (from what you eat to how you live your day to day life)
-The future effects of the change in climate on California (from carbon emisions)
-Examples of building green
-Techniques to harness green energy
-And too much more for myself to explain, Go see it yourself!

The California Acadamy of Sciences also included a full aquarium, IMAX style Solarium, And Eco bubble that replicated Borneo and Madagascar rainforst zones, and the Living Green Rooftop!
