Grant supports Cable museum’s Junior Naturalist and MuseumMobile programs

The grant helps cover the cost of program supplies, as well the new Eco-Heroes program. To kick off the summer, sustainability intern Melissa Krizan invited junior naturalists to participate in a zero waste recycling challenge using recycling bins purchased from TerraCycle. The kids filled those bins with old toys, art supplies and plastic bags. TerraCycle will sort the items and break them back down into raw materials that can be used again.

How the 2019 ESPY Awards Focused on Sustainability, Inclusivity—and the USWNT

Kilowatt Events once again designed and executed the award show’s red carpet, which featured attention-grabbing letters and sponsor logos nestled in green hedging. The production company's sustainability arm, Kilowatt One, ensured a carbon-neutral event, creating a red carpet made from 100-percent recycled materials and drought-tolerant succulents in place of flowers. More than 1,000 reusable water bottles were provided for staff and crew, and tote bags were given to all showrunners to prevent single-use bag usage. The team also used a TerraCycle Zero Waste Box to recycle supplies from the production office.
