Virginia Air & Space Center - Go Green

 

The Virginia Air & Space Center is proud to announce it is now being recognized
as a Virginia Green Attraction. Virginia Green is the Commonwealth of Virginia’s campaign to promote environmentally-friendly practices in all aspects of Virginia’s tourism industry. Virginia Green Attractions have been thoughtfully planned and designed to minimize their impacts on the environment.

The Virginia Air & Space Center has met
the established “core activities” required
to be a Virginia Green Attraction that includes:


• Recycling
• Minimizing the usage of disposable food service products
• Reducing solid waste
• Using water efficiently
• Conservation of energy
• Offering green event packages

The Virginia Air & Space Center’s Green Mission Statement:
“ Realizing the importance of conservation and recycling in their personal lives inspired the staff to extend green practices and pollution prevention to their “museum home.” As a science center, it is our social responsibility to minimize our environmental impact by preventing pollution and helping to educate the public on how we can all make a difference.”
