Around the Globe

If you're thinking the Earth's just a big blue marble, you should probably check out "Cool Globes – Hot Ideas for a Cooler Planet." This public art display includes 50 7-foot-tall, 2,000-pound globes that have each been designed by schoolchildren and artists to portray the plight of our planet.

Originally conceived by a mom of four, the exhibit started in Chicago and has toured Washington, D.C., San Francisco and San Diego before landing in Los Angeles' Expo Park just in time for Earth Day, April 22. The globes will stay here through July before beginning their European tour.
