Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.A month before world political leaders gather in Copenhagen for the COP15 UN Climate Change Conference, the "Cool Globes: Hot Ideas for a Cooler Planet" art exhibit takes to the streets of the city. The traveling exhibit, which begins in Copenhagen on November 13, offers suggestions for what ordinary citizens can do to combat global climate change.
Cool Globes is a public art exhibition featuring more than 25 "Cool Globes," each seven feet tall and five feet in diameter and conveying an artist's personal message about climate change. In Copenhagen, the first European city to host the exhibit, the globes - created by world-renowned as well as local Danish artists - will be placed in the public square Kongens Nytorv and at tube stations throughout the city. The exhibit will stay in Copenhagen through December 31, after which five globes will remain on permanent display.
The aim of the Cool Globes project is to encourage individuals, businesses, and governments to adopt solutions against global climate change. The exhibit, which originated in Chicago, has traveled to Washington DC, San Francisco, and Houston, and will continue its tour in 2010 with a visit to Marseilles, France.
For those who won't see the exhibit in person, the project has gathered climate-change tips from around the world on its website.
