@thecwordpodcast As a #conservator in private practice I get to make a lot of decisions myself, which is both great and awful, but mostly great!

I can make the decision to:
✅ Use suppliers committed to sustainability (or shout at them until they are)
✅ Reduce my dependency on single use plastics or overly toxic chemicals
✅ Use public transport
✅ Reuse materials in a variety of ways
✅ Repair equipment or source it second hand rather than buying new

So I do.

#EnvironmentMW #MuseumWeek

If #sustainability is your thing we really recommend listening to our episode Going Green: https://thecword.show/2018/09/19/s04e01-going-green/

It's got lots of great ideas for how to be a greener institution or private practice.

It's #MuseumWeek this week and the first topic of the week is the #environment: an excellent start considering it's also #WorldEnvironmentDay! 🌏

We'd love to hear about how #conservators out there are thinking about this topic.

It could be:
♻️ How you're tackling waste via a #sustainability policy
🌡️ How you're managing the museum environment without the planet suffering too much
🐦 How you're using #collections to talk about climate change

Tell us things!
