Art and the environment mix in Earth Day event

Climate Day for Kids at Seattle Art Museum's Olympic Sculpture Parkinvolves different activities by a number of community groups.

"SAM is trying to be more involved in Earth Day activities. It is something we want to make a tradition," says SAM environmental steward Jackie White.

White, who became SAM's first environmental steward last summer, is based at the sculpture park, but her job involves looking at the sustainability issues of the museum as a whole. She works with the SAM Goes Green Team, the education department to develop environmental themes, and monitors the Olympic Sculpture Park's shoreline.
