To commemorate World Environment Day, various cultural institutions in Baltimore are inviting both residents and visitors to adopt sustainable practices by providing special rewards. On June 5, those who participate can receive free or discounted entry, gift cards, and additional benefits in return for actions that contribute to environmental protection.
Organizations taking part, such as the Baltimore Museum of Art (BMA), B&O Railroad Museum, Everyman Theatre, Maryland Zoo, and The Walters Art Museum, are coordinating their initiatives with this global event, which is spearheaded by the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP). The theme for this year’s World Environment Day emphasizes the need to eliminate global plastic pollution.
Here are the incentives offered by the participating institutions:
Baltimore Museum of Art (BMA): Visitors who bring three clean plastic bottles of any size will receive free admission to the Black Earth Rising exhibition.
B&O Railroad Museum: Participants can join a trash cleanup event starting at 10 a.m. and enjoy free admission to the museum on June 5.
Everyman Theatre: Donors who bring craft supplies (e.g., crayons, fabric remnants, beads) will receive a $10 gift card.
Maryland Zoo: Those who bring small, used electronic devices for recycling will receive a $20 admission discount.
The Walters Art Museum: Show a recent CharmPass to receive a 10% discount at the Walters Café, and a 20% discount on purchases of $50 or more at the Museum Store.
This initiative is part of a larger, ongoing effort that began in the summer of 2024, when BMA established an Eco-Challenge coalition with various civic and cultural organizations. The coalition pledged to minimize their environmental footprint through actions such as reusing materials, installing energy-efficient lighting, and transforming waste into renewable energy.
In addition to the cultural institutions, the initiative also encompasses partners like the American Visionary Art Museum, the National Aquarium, and the Maryland Science Center, among others. These organizations have collaborated to adopt sustainable practices and promote awareness about climate change.
World Environment Day, celebrated every year on June 5, serves as the largest global platform for environmental awareness and action. In 2025, the emphasis is particularly on combating plastic pollution on a global scale. The BMA, along with the other participating organizations, is leveraging this day to involve the public in creating a greener, more sustainable Baltimore.
The initiative also aligns with Visit Baltimore's declaration of 2025 as the Year of Sustainability, a city-wide effort to incorporate eco-friendly practices into daily life.
By providing incentives for environmentally friendly actions, these cultural institutions aim to motivate lasting changes while making sustainability accessible to everyone.
