Synopsis:

The Green Science of Interesting Things

“Thinking Green” goes back centuries. Green inventions have been around since before the term was invented. The Museum of Interesting Things has preserved some of that Green Technology and we’ll be talking about that with the curator, Denny Daniel. Most of what Denny will talk about is between 50 and 100 years old.

Making things last rather than making new ones--something that may last 100 years-- is environmentally positive.

We’ll talk about electric cars of over a century ago, Edison wax cylinders, as well as wind-up toys going back up to 100 years ago and more.

Revisit your youth and the youth of your parents or grandparents with wind-up toys going back generations. We’ve all probably seen the delight kids have with wind-up toys. They don’t need electricity and can be played with nearly anywhere. The concept goes back hundreds of years and is still with us.
