Description: "Every 10 Minutes" art installation
This outdoor environmental art installation educates the viewer about the amount of carbon dioxide (and other green house gases) that the average American lifestyle emits into the air every 10 minutes. It equals .8 lbs of carbon (twice what Europeans emit). The large cube shows us what the volume of this gas would look like if we could see it as a 3/d shape, and 144 small cubes stand in for the large cube to show us what just 1 day's worth of carbon is created by our car, our building, and the non-organic food we eat. That's a lot of pollution, and it's causing the climate to change!
