An art project on the topic of the day was recently presented to the public by a British company Dorothyknown for always supporting environmental movements and advocating against pollution and environmental protection. Their development, souvenirs called No Globes, an analogue of New Year's glass balls with snow, clearly demonstrates what awaits us if factories continue to throw so much muck into the atmosphere. Instead of the traditional Santa on a reindeer, a snowman with a broom, a Christmas tree with toys and other cute New Year's attributes inside a glass ball "on the news of the day", there are factory pipes covered with soot. Instead of snow-white grains of "snow", which swirls and softly falls on the ground, black flakes of soot, just as softly covering everything around, creating not a positive, but a gloomy and even mourning mood. Is this what we walk in the future for ourselves and our children?
It is known that No Globes, this limited edition art piece, was developed by the British firm Dorothy in protest against the construction of several dirty coal-fired power plants in 2009. Some glass balls with smog instead of snow were presented to the participants of the United Nations Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen, dedicated to the problems of ecology and climate change. Several pieces of non-traditional souvenirs were made. Today there is only one left: for the edification of descendants. Read more about this environmental project on the Dorothy website.
