Arizona Sustainability Alliance: Five Ways to Eat More Sustainably
The small dietary decisions we make every day add up over time, and this holds true for our environmental footprints as well! Discover five easy ways to eat with the planet in mind.
Learn How to Live an Eco-Friendly Life
You don’t have to be superhuman to live sustainably—and every one of us mere mortals can do our part! Each February during Arizona Science Center’s Sustainability Weekend, we invite you to explore topics about sustainable living—whether at home or as part of a global movement—including food chains, composting and recycling. We’ll also provide practical advice for how to reduce your carbon footprint and showcase the art of upcycling.
Join us all weekend long, next February for exploratory demonstrations and hands-on activities for the whole family.
All Sustainability Weekend activities are included FREE with your Arizona Science Center membership or with general admission. Children under 3 are always FREE.
