Waste & Materials Ki Book
A single museum can produce the same amount of waste as 365 households! Our Ki Books on Waste & Materials outlines what suitable alternatives are available for our sector and teaches us how to reduce our waste.
Social Sustainability Ki Book
Social sustainability is at the core of sustainability. It’s about people and their relationship with nature, the continuity of societies’ past, present and future. And culture is at the heart of people. Learn how we, as cultural professionals, can combat structural racism, support human rights and fight for equality and justice globally.
Energy Ki Book
Museums in the United States alone produce 12 million metric tonnes of carbon dioxide every year! That’s the same as all of the cars driving in the city of London! Energy is the invisible culprit – but just because we can’t see it doesn’t mean we can’t save it. Download our Energy Ki Book and see how you can reduce your carbon footprint and save money today!
