Organic farmers save energy! The production of petroleum-based fertilizers and pesticides accounts for 36% of agriculture energy use. Natural farming methods avoid these synthetic products and therefore help reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
Approximately 75 million acres worldwide are now farmed organically. Today, more and more organic products are available at specialty stores and your local supermarket. You can also find appealing organic fruits and vegetables at your neighborhood farmers’ market. Some local farms offer programs for weekly deliveries of organic products.
Put organic foods on the top of your shopping list!

			<description><![CDATA[Join the Virtual March

Over 600,000 people are marching online to stop global warming! Are you one of them? The organization StopGlobalWarming.org has banded together people with the common goal of finding solutions to climate change. The website was created by activist Laurie David to mobilize individuals with environmental concerns. The virtual march has successfully built a front against global warming and been strengthened by celebrities, politicians, and corporations lending their support to the cause.
The website suggests many ways individuals can affect change right from their homes, from driving a hybrid car to changing light bulbs. Look into taking steps to reduce your environmental impact and keep in mind what Laurie David says about change, "Everybody can do a little bit in their day- to-day lives to make a difference. And it does make a difference."
Go to StopGlobalWarming.org and join the march!

			<description><![CDATA[Green Your Laundry

Aim for clean air along with clean clothes! Doing laundry may be unavoidable, but you can avoid excessive energy use on wash day. First, don't bother doing laundry until you have a full load. Then, adjust the dials. As much as 90% of the power used by your washing machine heats the water. Use half as much energy just by switching from hot to warm water. By setting the rinse cycle on cold, you use even less energy, and clothes get just as clean.
Your dryer uses more energy than any other home appliance except the refrigerator. Use your dryer's moisture sensor and avoid overdrying. Remember to clean your lint trap after each use for better air circulation. Hang partially dried clothes, or skip the dryer altogether and line dry. When buying a new washer and dryer, choose high-efficiency models.
Are you caring for the earth while caring for your clothes?

			<description><![CDATA[Common Ground

Americans may not agree on which candidate to vote for, but many agree that the environment’s welfare must be part of the national agenda. Elected officials are working across party lines to find solutions to global warming. Last year, a bipartisan coalition of U.S. senators introduced legislation that would reduce gasoline consumption by a trillion gallons over the next 20 years. Peter Mars has long been a leader in Chicago’s "avant pop" movement. Combining found objects with images from popular media, Mars painted his globe to tell a poignant tale of the creatures who are most immediately affected by global warming: the polar bears. The patriotic globe shows a concerned polar bear father visiting the U.S. Capitol to try to convince senators and representatives to help him save the rapidly receding polar ice.

			<description><![CDATA[Wind Power

This globe depicts one of the planets most rapidly developing sources of energy. While the major consumer of electrical power, the United States is now the leading producer of wind generated power having surpassed Germany. Wind farms are on the increase in North Texas, California, the Midwest, Northwest and the East coasts of America. The next frontier will be capturing the naturally occurring high wind currents located just offshore.   The wind turbines are increasing both in size and efficiency due to new increases in technology.
Kopriva’s art depicts the average major wind velocities constantly covering our planet’s surface. The abstract appearance of the colors represent a speed wind ranges of very high ( red) to very low (blue) scattered over the globe’s surface. Note that major sources of wind are located in difficult to harness high winds occurring in our southern latitudes ocean areas. Significant trade winds are represented by pieces of directionally curved copper tubing. These winds have been known to sailors for centuries for their consistency. Locations of major existing or new locations of wind farms are symbolized by actual replicas of modern giant wind turbines. The viewer is reminded of the ever fickle nature of our weather by epitomizing symbols of tornados, hurricanes, cyclones, and typhoons.

			<description><![CDATA[Unplugged Fun

"Turn off that TV!" What parents haven’t made that demand to protect their children’s mental and physical well-being? As it turns out, the planet’s health is also affected by too much television. Americans use more than $5 billion worth of electricity annually to power TVs. Energy that creates greenhouse gas runs the television, DVD, and game console in an average American home eight hours a day!
Save energy and strengthen your family by taking part in community TV Tune Out Weeks, periods when towns offer special alternative activities. Or start your own campaign to turn off the tube. Enjoy non-electronic play, such as board games, cooking, reading, craft projects, and sports. When you turn off the television, your kids will get more exercise and become more creative while you reduce global warming pollution.

			<description><![CDATA[Adjust the Thermostat

In the old days, folks warmed up by putting on a sweater or cozying up to a crackling fire. Common sense solutions like these are good choices again in the fight against global warming. Half the energy used in your home runs your heating and cooling systems. You can curb greenhouse gas by simply adjusting your thermostat. Try setting the temperature at 68o or lower in the winter and 78o or higher in the summer. Programmable thermostats let you regulate temperature to conserve energy when you are asleep or away.
Don't be afraid to ask restaurant, theater, or office managers to turn down the air conditioning. Commercial buildings consume about one sixth of all energy used in the Western world, and up to one third of that is for air conditioning. You shouldn't need a sweater when it's 80o outside!
Where do you set your thermostat?

			<description><![CDATA[In April, students from New Rochelle High School in New York participated in a Cool Globes by Cool Kids contest, each designing a mini globe with a solution to global warming. This is one of the winners. 
Put out the Fire
This shows that if we all take steps in our communities to garden, recycle and use less of the earth’s natural resources we can, hopefully, reverse the effects of global warming. So as we set the world on fire and “kill” it, we can also cool it down and bring it back to life.  The world is depending on us to save it and we can. ]]></description>

Out of Twine
Our project represents the world unraveling. From the beginning of time the world started fresh as a ball of yarn, but we continue to demolish our resources.  We push earth out of its natural state.  Now we are slowly running out of time to save it from all the pollution and destruction that we caused.  Thus, the world is slowly falling apart.
