Cool Globes: Hot Ideas for a Cooler Planet, is a public art exhibition designed to raise awareness of solutions to climate change. Cool Globes grew out of a commitment at the Clinton Global Initiative in 2005, and was incorporated as a non-profit organization in 2006. Since that time, Cool Globes premiered in Chicago and went on tour across the country from Washington DC to San Francisco, San Diego, Sundance, Los Angeles, Houston and Cleveland. In the fall of 2009, Cool Globes opened the first international exhibit in Copenhagen. From there our globes were in Geneva, Marseille, Vancouver, and Amsterdam. It is our hope that the millions of people who have experienced the exhibit, leave with a vast array of solutions to climate change, and with one clear message….we can solve this.

3. Food for Thought
Muriel 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.

5. Leave a Positive Footprint
Cathi Bouzide

6. 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.

7. Preserve Our Trees and Forests
Andrea Harris, Sandie Bacon & Ann Bingham-
Freeman

8. 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.

9. Green Technology
Robert 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.

11. Let your voice be heard
Paula Clayton

12. 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.

13. Water Conservation
Sharon Bladholm

14. 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%.

15. Solar Power
Alice 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.

17. Reduce, Reuse Recycle
Mitch Levin
Why not strive for “zero” waste, only purchase
products that can be recycled or reused and
reduce our trash by composting and
recycling.

19. Heal the Planet
Mr. 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.

21. Run, Walk and Roll
Bob Anderson

22. 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!

24. 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.

26. 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!

29. 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?

31. Fuel Efficient Travel
Vincent 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.

33. Green Your Home
Cathryn Henry-Colcer & Dan Colcer
Think green before making
purchases in general.

35. Green Roofs
Ingrid 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.

38. 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.

41. Global Leadership
Sandra 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.

43. The Cool Globes decorate Jerusalem’s Alrov- Mamilla Esplanade near Jaffa Gate.
The exhibit will be on display through the Summer (and perhaps Fall).
