We went down to Science World by 20 bus to sky train to Main st. station. We saw the art globes on the environment very interesting. We then walked along the false creek seawall saw dragon boat races. Continuing past the Olympic village we saw the 2 giant sparrows in the courtyard in the village, we also saw Canada Star sculpture( First nations) designed by Wadebaker of Squamish We saw the new playground and walked along False creek to Granville Island. While walking we saw 2 Canada geese with 4 babies swimming. We stopped at Organic Coffee House and sat and socialized and then left on 50 bus.

Cool Globes - Hot Ideas for a Cooler Planet
For a Limited Time Only
What’s the best way to encourage people to think about our Earth? Show it to them!That’s the idea behind Cool Globes , an exciting project that is currently visiting Science World outside TELUS World of Science. Cool Globes a non-profit organization is responsible for this widely-acclaimed exhibition. These one-tonne globes have been showcased around the world, from Chicago to the recent UN Conference on Climate Change in Copenhagen.
Cool Globes features giant globes designed by artists, community groups and children, each with its own solution to global warming. The globes are large and powerful symbols of how the choices we make affect the world around us. For instance, for one of the globes, called “Unplugged Fun,” students drew pictures and wrote words full of suggestions of fun things to do that don’t involve watching TV. Another globe, called “Cool Careers" encourages youth to become science and technology innovators. Be sure to stop by and check them out before they’re gone. Can’t make it down during our regular hours? No worries—the globes are fully accessible outside our building so that even more people can enjoy them and share the message of sustainability.
The Bird below is of a pair (above) of realistic statues in the shape of common sparrows, one male, one female. They’ll each be 4.5 metres (15 feet) high on a 46 cm (18 inch) base and painted in the authentic colours of the small birds that have spread all over North America after being introduced from the United Kingdom into several U.S. cities starting around 1850
