New Campaign Calls on 5 Top Museums to Divest from Fossil Fuels 
----------------------------------------------------------------


 
A new campaign is calling on five of the country's most influential
museums to divest from fossil fuels. The campaign singles out the
American Museum of Natural History in New York City, the Field Museum in
Chicago, the California Academy of Sciences in San Francisco, the North
Carolina Museum of Natural Sciences in Raleigh and the Natural History
Museum of Utah in Salt Lake City. The call to action was launched this
morning by 350.org and The Natural History Museum, a new mobile museum
that champions climate action.
