Lisa ensures visitors of all ages can enjoy MofT’s fun and inspirational flagship locations: 1) The Eco-Industrial Hub, a working model factory with delightfully empowering exhibits about clean air, water, and energy, and ideal materials for products.  2) The immersive Eco-Home showcases how urban renters can have impactful, earth-friendly apartments and grow enchanting edible gardens. Through lectures and interviews, Lisa provides answers for the often asked “What can I do?”
