A pop-up museum dedicated to sustainability<\/strong>, located in Manhattan\u2019s Noho neighborhood, is an excellent integration of arts & sciences. Walk through each thematic room, learn about oceans, forests, fibres, and facts about the Earth\u2019s current state. Consider the healthy choices we can do to make a difference, and in a neighbourhood filled with shops on shops, take a break and allow conscious consumerism to guide you. After all, there is no planet B.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Working with a dozen environmental artists, including Samuelle Green, Tamara Kostianovsky, and Etty Yaniv, founder Valentino Vettori crafted the exhibition to bring environmental issues to life by combining \u201chuman scale art installations\u201d with \u201caugmented and virtual reality\u201d. They have been collecting discarded plastic bags and working three months straight to install the 15,000-square-foot pop-up in the East Village and offering 15 interactive rooms for visitors to explore. The catch? They all used innovative & less harmful materials to lower our carbon footprint. It is a great way to shed light on climate change, micro plastics, and sustainable <\/strong>alternatives. Plus, there are a ton of Instagrammable <\/strong>moments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n An \u201cunderwater\u201d hall lets visitors observe shrinking coral reefs, while in another room, a swarm of glowing, plastic jellyfish dangle from the ceiling. A room filled with fishing nets gives humans a real-life taste of what\u2019s happening to sea life down below. Its coral reef room, for example, alerts visitors that a single drop of chemical sunscreen is enough to contaminate a coral reef environment of a size of an Olympic swimming pool. After wandering through the room, visitors are encouraged to linger in a petition signing room where they can write their own personal vows about how they\u2019ll help make a difference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n But it\u2019s not just about having fun of course, in addition to the lessons each room aims to teach people about the current and future state of our Earth. Sustainability<\/strong>-minded life hacks like eating less meat, wasting less food, and reducing single-use plastic will also be shared with attendees in a bid to help the masses work toward a better future. Millennilas <\/strong>will start to see how they can counteract out their own carbon footprints, including when it comes to practicing sustainable <\/strong>travel.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" What is it?
