Our very own, For Her Information
Media, has announced its participation as a sponsor
in the public art exhibition.
We
are honored to join Cool Globes in its important mission of
raising awareness and promoting solutions to global warming
through art. At FHI we strive to make our company carbon
neutral, from printing our magazine on New Leaf recycled
paper to hosting the entire magazine for free on our
website, www,forherinformation.com. We devoted our most
recent issue, ‘Living Green,’ to environmental
topics. Collaborating with Cool Globes is a natural
progression for us in our efforts to help nurture the
Earth.
Cool Globes’ summer-long exhibit will
feature five-foot diameter fiberglass globes representing
themes that range from technical solutions (wind, solar and
hydropower) to conceptual (social activism,
self-reflection) to quirky (one globe will be covered
in professional athletes’ old “recycled”
shoes, with the message “Use your feet.”).
Another globe, organized by a group of 11-year-olds,
will be collaged with drawings and the words “Stop
Global Warming” sent in from children from China,
Australia, Israel, Norway, Italy and Ghana, to name a
few.
Spearheaded by Wendy Abrams, Executive
Director and Founder, Cool Globes is powered by some of the
most influential names in the environmental movement. Carl
Pope (Executive Director of the Sierra Club), Frances
Beineke (President of NRDC) Fred Krupp (President of
Environmental Defense), climatologist Michael Oppenheimer,
and environmental activist and Executive Producer of An Inconvenient
Truth, Laurie David all serve on the Cool Globes
Advisory Board. Funds raised will go to support public
school environmental education programs. Check http://www.coolglobes.org for more information.
The kick off gala for this event will be at
the beautiful Field Museum in Chicago on June 2, 2007; if
you'd like tickets for the event just go to http://www.coolglobes.org
