The Green Museum: A Primer on Environmental Practice

by Sarah S. Brophy, Elizabeth Wylie

Environmentally friendly practices are crucial to the mission of museums, which, as houses of preservation, are uniquely suited to modeling green behavior and sustainability. The Green Museum remains the leading handbook for museums seeking to learn ways to implement environmentally sustainable practices at their institutions, whether they are planning new construction or want to find out how to “green” their day-to-day operations. As environmental sustainability becomes the rule rather than the exception for businesses of all kinds, this new edition features updated standards, techniques, and information as well as new case studies.

One of the most inspiring museological books I've ever read. Filled with great quotes/arguments from a variety of professionals, and many tips for museums of any size to implement gradual operational changes to become more responsible organizations.
