NHMU Green Team
The Natural History Museum of Utah scientists study the past to understand pattern and process, with the belief that this knowledge provides a basis for people to make informed decisions that affect the future. The philosophy of sustainability is a fundamental framework for evaluating such choices. At NHMU, we aspire to lead by example—demonstrating the viability of sustainable choices in our new building and in our operations.

NHMU Green Team
In order to keep NHMU's sustainable practices at top of mind awareness, we have recruited some of the staff to form the Green Team. The Museum’s Green Team meets monthly to work on projects and challenges that promote the education & communication of green practices within the Museum and at home.
Our Green Goals:
-
To educate, implement and support sustainability initiatives for staff and guests to create a community that is socially, economically and environmentally responsible.
-
To foster an overall environmental stewardship of awareness, education and participation.
-
To establish and measure green practices that result in financial and resource conservation and savings.
