The Welty Environmental Center in Beloit unveils a new interactive exhibit called Real People, Real Climate, Real Changes.

Executive Director Brenda Plakans says it was developed by the National Center for Atmospheric Research and the UCAR Center for Science Education.

Plakans says the free exhibit includes panels that describe how climate data is gathered and interactive stations where visitors can experiment with lowering their carbon footprint.

Plakans says on the weekend the center will be open from noon until 4:00 and children ages five to 12 are invited to participate in new hands-on activities related to climate change, each week.

The exhibit runs September 6th through November 21st.
