🚨 BREAKING: Missouri is holding onto something people don’t talk about enough… 🌄🌊

The rivers that wind forever.
The quiet hills.
The kind of sunsets that hit different when you’re miles from the noise.

Out here, it’s simple… but it’s real.
Backroads, fresh air, and that feeling like time slowed down just a little.

But somehow…
there’s always someone ready to replace it.

For concrete.
For servers.
For something that could be built literally anywhere else.

Missouri isn’t “empty space.”
It’s peace.
It’s escape.
It’s home for people who chose quiet over chaos.

Because once you trade this away…
you don’t get it back.

You can build a data center anywhere.
You can’t rebuild a Missouri sunset over the river. 🌅

So be honest…
Would you protect this… or develop it? 👇

💚 Happy Earth Day!⁠
⁠
♻️ Caring for the Earth is a theme that Charles M. Schulz reinforced throughout Peanuts. His wife and our founder, Jean Schulz, has been a dedicated recycler since the 1960s and is passionate about environmental advocacy. ⁠
⁠
In following their example, the Schulz Museum is devoted to keeping our carbon footprint small through sustainable actions, including:⁠
⁠
▫️ Native, low-water landscaping. A protective deck was built around the roots of the 100-year-old redwood tree in our courtyard.⁠
⁠
▫️ 11,000 square feet of solar panels over our parking lot provide 90% of the Museum’s electrical needs.⁠
⁠
▫️ Exhibitions use upcycled furniture, props, frames, and flooring; gently used frames and materials are donated to local art programs.⁠
⁠
▫️ In our galleries, fabric, wood, and paper are used in lieu of printing on plastic. ⁠
⁠
▫️ Restrooms have low-water flushing toilets and automatic lights.⁠
⁠
▫️ Our camps for kids emphasize creative repurposing through recycled materials.⁠
⁠
▫️ Staff breakroom and events avoid single-use utensils and tableware. ⁠
⁠
🌏 We hope you feel inspired to do something kind to the Earth today, and every day!
