Summary
Galvanized into action by a 2001 Time article on climate change, Wendy Abrams spearheaded Chicago's ?Cool Globes? public art exhibit, which showcased 123 artist-designed globes, each offering its own perspective on global warming. Hot Ideas for a Cooler Planet, a companion piece to the installation, offers full-color photographs of the pieces, along with commentary from the artists, statistics about the environment, and useful advice on how each of us can change our lives to keep things cooler on planet Earth. Avoiding the ?doom and gloom? attitude of many global warming messages, Abrams and the artists seek to inform the public about a pressing situation in a constructive manner. And the book is refreshingly apolitical?Hot Ideas for a Cooler Planet makes our environment a human issue, not a political one.
