ABOUT THIS VIDEO
The highly acclaimed movie Avatar
delivers the message “save what you know is worth saving," a phrase
which defines the vision behind the newly remodeled California Academy
of Sciences, located in San Francisco’s Golden Gate Park. The innovative
minds that drove the remodeling of this natural history museum wanted
to create a unique teaching environment – one that promotes the
importance of saving biodiversity and our natural environment by walking
the talk. The remodeling team took advantage of green-building
practices that would not only help minimize the building's ecological
footprint and save money on utility bills, but also serve as a teaching
aid in promoting sustainable building practices and resource
conservation.
