Cool Globes

From Great Lakes Wiki

From June-Sept. 2007, the City of Chicago is hosting "CoolGlobes: Hot Ideas for a Cooler Planet," an innovative project that uses the medium of public art to inspire individuals and organizations to take action against global warming. Over 100 globes are on display along the lakefront using a variety of materials to create awareness and provoke discussion about potential solutions to global warming. Watch video from the Cool Globes Business Leaders Roundtable, which brought together executives from companies like McDonalds and Starbucks on July 11 with Wendy Abrams, founder of the Cool Globes project and keynote speaker John Podesta, CEO of the Center for American Progress and former Chief of Staff for President Bill Clinton to discuss climate change and making companies greener.
