The team at Phipps Conservatory and Botanical Gardens are in the process of adding a new area to the Climate Toolkit  to help organizations that have glasshouses and conservatories to improve the energy efficiency and ultimately to fully decarbonize their operations.

We would like to invite you to join our new glasshouse listserv to help us understand what needs to be included as we build out this new Toolkit section and to start conversations about what people are doing to improve their glasshouse operations.

You can use this link to join the listserv: https://climatetoolkit.org/glasshouse-decarbonization-a-new-climate-toolkit-goal/.

Want to know more about glasshouses? Watch this TEDx Talk from Richard Piacentini (President & CEO of Phipps Conservatory and Botanical Gardens) which describes the evolving way Phipps connects people to nature, demonstrates how human and environmental health are inextricably connected and shows that to age gracefully, we must continually reinvent ourselves to evolve with the rest of the world.
