Sustainability Museum

The Miami Valley Regional Center For Sustainability is currently raising funds to open a Sustainability Museum . . . not by begging for donations, but by pre-selling memberships to the museum.

The first 500 people to purchase a family membership for just $25 will have their membership converted to a lifetime membership.

Each section of the museum will represent an individual topic of sustainability, and each of the areas will be created and put together by a different group, organization, institution, business, or class of students.

The museum will include an area for the general public, an interactive children’s museum, and an art gallery displaying fascinating works made from reused materials.
