What is the role of science museums in helping communities see the night sky as a natural resource worth of protection?

This kind of "third space" is really a workplace that is not home and not a coffee shop.  Alternative workspaces that draw people out of the homes and give them more and better access to workplace amenities can help people be more productive and create community.

What's needed...is a lot more public debate about the risks of inaction. "Risk is something we all understand in our daily lives...and if people were to think more about the risk of inaction, we think they would be more inclined to take action." How can museums help move the conversation forward?

I found this article an interesting take on the idea using futures thinking in a personal way to help potential customers/users/visitors think about all kinds of choices they make in terms of how those choices will affect them -- as individuals -- in the future.

This map shows the location of every independent coffee shop in Brooklyn and the walking-shed community associated with it. Independent coffee shops are positive markers of a living community. They function as social spaces, urban offices, and places to see the world go by. Communities are often formed by having spaces in which people can have casual interactions, and local and walkable coffee shops create those conditions, not only in the coffee shop themselves, but on the sidewalks around them. We use maps to know where these coffee shop communities exist and where, by placing new coffee shops, we can help form them. We applied two steps to generate the data displayed by the map. First, we used the Google Places API to locate all coffee shops in a given city. Second, for each point in the map we queried the walking route and distance to its nearest coffee shop using the Google Distance Matrix API. In the final map the colored areas represent a region which is walkable to a specific coffee shop (within one kilometer or 0.7 miles). The intensity of color at each point indicates its distance from its corresponding coffee shop.
