Cool Globes - Hot Ideas for a Cooler Planet
For a Limited Time Only
What’s the best way to encourage people to think about our Earth? Show it to them!
That’s the idea behind Cool Globes , an exciting project that is currently visiting Science World outside TELUS World of Science. Cool Globes a non-profit organization is responsible for this widely-acclaimed exhibition. These one-tonne globes have been showcased around the world, from Chicago to the recent UN Conference on Climate Change in Coppenhagan.
Cool Globes features giant globes designed by artists, community groups and children, each with its own solution to global warming. The globes are large and powerful symbols of how the choices we make affect the world around us. For instance, for one of the globes, called “Unplugged Fun,” students drew pictures and wrote words full of suggestions of fun things to do that don’t involve watching TV. Another globe, called “Cool Careers" encouraging youth to become science and technology innovators.
Be sure to stop by and check them out before they’re gone. Can’t make it down during our regular hours? No worries—the globes are fully accessible outside our building so that even more people can enjoy them and share the message of sustainability.

In addition to the ones outside our building, be sure to check out two more outside the H.R. MacMillan Space Centre. And come back this spring--we've got lots more globes we'll be unloading and adding to the exhibition.
