Did you know that driving, not idling is the most environmentally conscious way of warming up your car? 🤔🚗💨

Museum of Tomorrow’s fabrication team is currently working on an upcoming exhibit entitled Fuelish Idling in conjunction with Spare the Air's Idle Free Bay Area campaign! The exhibit will be made up of a fully collapsible wooden structure shown above that will help display a role-playing game which aims to educate individuals about common myths and misconceptions regarding vehicle idling. 🎮

Learn more at >>> idlefreebayarea.org <<< and look forward to more news on Fuelish Idling soon!!!!

Hello friends! With everything going on around us,

Hello friends! With everything going on around us, it gets really hard to stay positive about the future of our environment. 🌋😳🌋 Trying to start 2021 off on a positive note, we're reflecting with our PR team member Mike Gerhardt on how he stays optimistic! ☺🌱⛅

"The most challenging thing about being a researcher in clean energy technology is maintaining optimism and motivation in my work. Energy technologies take a notoriously long time to go from the lab bench to the real world, and I might not find out for another 20 or 30 years whether my research will make a difference! To keep the hope alive, I look at success stories. Electric cars are becoming much more popular now, and the inventors of the batteries that power those cars won the Nobel Prize in 2019. A zero-emissions hydrogen fuel cell bus drives quietly past my apartment every morning. Renewable electricity from wind turbines and solar panels is just as cheap as fossil-fuel electricity. And organizations like Museum of Tomorrow are helping people learn more about these innovations and the changes they can make in their everyday lives to protect the environment."

Shopping around the holiday's is tough, especially

Shopping around the holiday's is tough, especially in quarantine! 😩 We're reflecting with our fantastic fabrication team member @trowusheezl on her experience with online shopping habits. 😳🛍

"I remember on Prime Day, I purged on so many sales that my house was cluttered with cardboard boxes and plastic wrappers. Just the sight of my house alone was enough to make me question my unrestrained spending habits. Surrounded by all that waste, I felt like a hypocrite. All my efforts to reduce my carbon footprint by conserving electricity use, eating less meat, and taking public transportation felt pointless if I was just going to add more fuel to the flame. Almost all of my purchases were not even useful. I just bought things for the sake of buying things! This made me rewire my consumer mindset. Why should I buy items when I’m not even going to use them often? Whenever I have the urge to spontaneously splurge on an item, I think back to that question and reconsider my thoughts. I have better things to do with my money."

Over the years, Christmas has been slowly losing its true meaning of sharing warmth and love with each other, rather turning into a Capitalist holiday🛍.

Y'all ever pick up on some unsustainable choices g

Y'all ever pick up on some unsustainable choices going on at home? Ever try to bring it up with a parent? 😰 Either way, the MoT team knows the struggle!!!! Our amazing secretary @trilibun shares her own experience talking to her mom about plastic straws. 🥤

"I briefly touched on the subject of sustainability with some family members one summer when my mom offered to make everyone a smoothie. Before my mom could open the packaging for a plastic straw, I ran to retrieve my reusable metal version. My mom, like many others, argued that my metal straw was 'inconvenient' to use and to clean. I took two approaches to helping my mom and my other family members understand the significance of this small, yet impactful effort. First, I took a factual approach to link plastic straws to waste, and waste to creating toxic environments that can harm natural ecosystems used by both humans and animals. The second (and more memorable) approach I used was providing examples of sustainable practices my mom herself already accomplishes. Reusing rice water for our garden, reusing plastic packaging and bags, planting fresh herbs and vegetables in our tiny backyard, are all of my mom’s daily practices that reduce waste and resource consumption or contribute to ecological services (e.g. air quality, pollination). These examples helped my mom realize how she was already putting in effort toward being sustainable for not only the environment, but also for her own economic needs, despite how 'inconvenient' she initially argued sustainability to be."
