As a living hub for ongoing dialogue, connection, and activism, the Penn Museum presents Seeds of Change, a new series of programs intended to spark curiosity, share facts, and inspire action around some of the most pressing issues of our time—starting with climate change.

Learning about climate change doesn’t have to be scary. There are plenty of ways kids can make a positive impact.

Part of the Seeds of Change series, Sustainable Saturday is a day for families to celebrate the earth, where kids and adults can connect to the natural world. Learn about respect for the earth from Indigenous cultures. Listen to a story about protecting our natural world. Bring a children’s book from home for a book exchange. Other activities include making seed packets for your garden and creating artwork using recycled materials.
