Environmental Issues

While most of the people in the world fret on the luxurious way of living brought about by the technological advances and researches, environmental protection and conservation which are supposed to be the top priority of the people becomes the concern that is mostly taken for granted.

One of the pressing issue with regards to our environment is the alarming threat of global warming. As the day goes by, people are extensively contributing to the global warming of the Earth through burning wastes, using toxic and harmful chemicals, polluting land air and water and other activities that are continuously destroying mother nature (Weart, 2004).

It is indeed a great opportunity to everyone to have proper education on how to preserve and conserve the environment while advancing to the modern way of living as such the environment is the one which nourishes every living thing.

The collaborative effort of Kala Art Institute, Helen Mayer Harrison and Newton Harrison together with Bayer USA Foundation is a perfect avenue to make a big difference on the preservation of our dying Mother Earth. The exhibits, which mainly talk about the global warming and other environmental issues, are a good start to inculcate proper education to the people about the proper care to the nature.

Green House Britain and the Force Majeure, The Harrisons  exhibition at the Kala Gallery, is comprised of a multi-media work which addresses environmental concerns particularly global warming (Kala Art Institute, 2009).

The exhibits in the form of video presentation, images, drawing, text, map and the like are indeed useful for the proper education of the people about the condition of the Earth with regards to global warming. As such it is the responsibility of everyone to take care the environment that nourishes our existence in the world, it can make a big difference to know the practical ways to conserve and preserve the nature through the education provided by the said exhibits.
