Walking down Boylston near Trinity church, you may notice something a little different. A series of globes, each individually and artfully designed have taken positions on the sidewalk down the street. The globes, an effort by Cool Globes, aims to bring attention to climate changes. From its beginning with the Clinton Global Initiative in 2005, the globes have made appearances on their tour around the world from Chicago to Amsterdam.
From Wendy Abrams, the founder, “The Chicago exhibit, which featured more than 120 globes, was hugely successful. Millions of people experienced the globes and the exhibit inspired more than 5,000 online pledges by individuals to adopt solutions to global warming. The popularity of Cool Globes in Chicago has inspired other cities across the country and around the world to inquire about the possibility of replicating the project. Cool Globes has gone on the road during across the United States from Washington DC to California to inspire more individuals to implement simple solutions in their lives to fight global warming.”
