A Greener Field
The Field Museum constantly strives to improve our building operations so that they match our commitment to improving sustainability locally and internationally. The Field Museum’s green team is called A Greener Field.
A Greener Field began as a grass-roots recycling effort in 1989, and now has over 30 members representing every area of the Museum. A Greener Field provides an outlet for staff to share successes and challenges in terms of greening their departments, as well as a vehicle to initiate and help implement institution-wide programs.

Pictured above is the 2011 Bike to Work Week commuter station for the Museum Campus. The Field Museum has been the winner in the nonprofit category (500+ staff) for six years running, and uses the event as an opportunity to educate staff about bike commuting in Chicagoland. The commuter station is staffed by Museum Campus staff volunteers in conjunction with the Active Transportation Alliance. Photo by Karen Bean.
