Cool Globes Jerusalem exhibition
Food for ThoughtMuriel Napoli
Do you love oranges and other delicious fruits and vegetables? You
can make an environmental difference with a greener diet. Avoiding meat just
once per week can help. It takes far more fossil fuel energy to generate the same amount of protein from a meat
source than from a plant source.
Leave a Positive FootprintCathi Bouzide
A carbon footprint is defined as the amount of carbon dioxide (CO2) released as a result
of your daily activities. Your lifestyle choices, household energy usage, and
transportation methods will affect the size of your footprint.
Preserve Our Trees and ForestsAndrea Harris, Sandie Bacon & Ann Bingham-
Freeman
Wherever we live, trees also have a
profound impact on our day-to-day
lives. In addition to beautifying our neighborhoods,
trees cut down the need for air
conditioning and clean globe-
warming CO2 from the air. Every time we plant a tree, we
help create a healthier
environment.
Green TechnologyRobert Chambers
The colors on this globe indicate the imminent threat of global
warming. Green landmasses symbolize the potential for change – the more green a
continent, the more environmentally aware its
inhabitants. Red masses are the most vulnerable, indicating the need to advance environmental
awareness.
Let your voice be heardPaula Clayton
Global warming may feel like an overwhelming challenge, but this
artist seeks to demonstrate that every individual has a voice, and by joining hands and raising our voices together
we can help fight global warming.
Water ConservationSharon Bladholm
Water is a valuable commodity, especially in this region of the world. Water conservation is the most
reliable and least expensive way to stretch water resources. Low volume agricultural irrigation
systems, such as drip-irrigation and micro-sprinklers, can increase efficiency to 90%.
Solar PowerAlice Sharie Revelski
Solar energy is one of the most promising renewable energy
sources in the world. It is non-polluting, works anywhere the sun is shining, and allows users
to generate their own power quietly and safely.
Reduce, Reuse RecycleMitch Levin
Why not strive for “zero” waste, only purchase products that can be recycled or reused and
reduce our trash by composting and recycling.
Heal the PlanetMr. Imagination
We turn to nature for the essentials that sustain us–fresh air, clean water, and
nutritious food. We can protect nature and enjoy its bounty by preserving
green spaces, using sustainable high-yield agriculture techniques and
practicing eco-conscious consumption.
Run, Walk and RollBob Anderson
Cars need gasoline and emit carbons that contribute to global warming; feet just
need the water you drink and are carbon-free!
Do what’s right for your heart and the planet - get moving!
Green Transportation
Lee Strickland
Saving time and money makes sense. Doing what we can to cool down
the planet makes sense too. Public transportation is an easy way to cut the globe-warming carbon emissions produced by
driving while avoiding the waste and frustration of traffic jams.
Green schools
Kids working together in the classroom, playground and cafeteria can help prevent global
warming by reducing waste, recycling, saving energy and conserving water.
It’s your planet—spend time in school learning to take care of it!
Lighting the Way to Change
Peter Mars
A new generation of bright halogen bulbs uses half as much carbon dioxide-emitting energy as incandescents. Emerging LED lighting alone could save 10% of worldwide electricity consumption.
When you change a bulb, will you make it a change for the better?
Fuel Efficient TravelVincent Grech
Each liter of gas a car burns puts 2.5 kg of carbon dioxide into the air. New
technologies, like hybrid cars, take fuel efficiency to an even higher level. And
it’s not just what you drive; it’s how you drive! When you are behind the wheel, you can reduce the amount of carbon dioxide your car produces by keeping
your speed down.
Green Your HomeCathryn Henry-Colcer & Dan Colcer
Think green before making purchases in general.
Green RoofsIngrid Albrecht
A “green roof “ is both a roof and a garden.
Traditional roofs absorb heat , raise city temperatures ,increase pollution and
require extra energy to cool and irrigate. In contrast, cities with green
roofs experience lower air temperatures and energy costs , less storm water runoff and improved air
quality.
Listen to our Children
Ingrid Albrecht
They are young, but wise. Children’s voices can be heard around the world in a multitude of languages, all speaking the
same message: Stop global warming! This globe displays
artwork sent in by children around the world and illustrates
their ideas for solving global warming.
Global LeadershipSandra Bacon
The William J. Clinton Foundation and the world’s largest cities joined forces to fight global warming. In
this globe, the artist identified the cities in this program and illustrated the ripple effect they are having around
the globe.
The Cool Globes decorate Jerusalem’s Alrov- Mamilla Esplanade near Jaffa Gate. The exhibit will be on display through the Summer (and perhaps Fall).
