\nThis is the fourth\u00a0in a series of\u00a0<\/span>posts by the Sustainability Committee in the run-up to the 2014 Annual Meeting, describing sustainability issues and initiatives in the city of San Francisco. The first blog post explained plastic bag and container laws<\/a>. The second described\u00a0the water crisis in California.<\/a> The third post was about the California Academy of Sciences: The world’s greenest museum<\/a>. Here, I will tell you about\u00a0the activities the Sustainability Committee will be involved in during the conference.<\/span><\/em>
\n1. We will be sharing a booth with the Health & Safety Committee. Stop by!\u00a0We will have samples of sustainable materials and handouts on various topics relating to sustainability in conservation.<\/span>
\n2. On Friday, May 30th from 1-2 PM, we will host a Sustainability Roundtable Discussion<\/a> in the Hospitality Room: How Do We Support Meaningful Change in Our Cultural Institutions?\u00a0<\/em>It’s free! Come check it out. It will be a conversation about engaging decision-makers in museums, libraries, and archives on the topic of sustainability.\u00a0 How do individuals rally interest, build momentum, and transition from well-meaning intentions to meaningful action in their cultural institutions at large? During this informal discussion, members of the sustainability\u00a0committee\u00a0along with facilitators Sarah Stauderman, Collections Care Manager at the Smithsonian Institution Archives, and Jia-Sun Tsang, Senior Paintings Conservator at the Smithsonian Institution will share real-life examples of the sustainability movement in cultural heritage. Bring your questions and ideas to share!
\n3. Some members of the committee have put together a poster for the poster session. The poster session will be divided into two venues. Our poster will be #46 in the SeaCliff Foyer: Life Cycle Assessments: Lighting, HVAC, Loans, and Treatments<\/em>\u00a0by Sarah Nunberg, Pamela Hatchfield, Dr. Matthew Eckelman, and the AIC Sustainability Committee. Check it out if these questions interest you: What is\u00a0the environmental impact difference between LEDs and Halogen lamps? What aspects of a loan have the biggest environmental impact? How much energy does regularly shutting down, or coasting, the HVAC system save? Silanes vs B-72 in Acetone:Ethanol vs B-72 in Xylene: Which Has a Higher Human and Environmental Impact? The poster session runs from 10 AM Thursday through Friday evening. For those unable to see the poster in person, it will be available to download from the AIC website sometime in June.
\n4. At the CIPP Seminar on Wednesday from 1-5PM<\/a>, two of our committee members will take part in\u00a0a panel discussion on Greening your Business.\u00a0AIC Sustainability Committee Chair Betsy Haude (Senior Paper Conservator, Library of Congress) will present an overview of the committee\u2019s work and Sarah Nunberg (Objects Conservation Studio LLC, Brooklyn, NY) will speak on sustainable practices in the conservation studio.
\n5. Committee member Christian Hernandez has prepared a talk for the StashFlash Session\u00a0on recycled materials and long-term\u00a0<\/span>storage. Christian will not be attending the conference, but is\u00a0<\/span>sending is PowerPoint.<\/span>
