Hey NYC, come out to the Creative Climate Awards Show closing party and take a worm selfie pic in my custom photo booth for live worms and humans. Your pretty #WormSelfie picture will appear on Flickr and Twitter; broadcasting your worm love out to the internet. I’ll also be showing 2 Worm Cozies – everyday items that provide camouflage for mini worm composters in your home. Easy to make, easy to enjoy ecosystem, with no odors. Come see for yourself. Thursday, Oct 27, 2016 6:30pm – 8:30pm.

Sounds like a fun party too:

Join us as we close this inspiring month-long exhibit in true October style – with a Halloween themed celebration! We will have prizes for the most innovative climate costumes, free wine, and great tunes.  Show up in your best costume and experience our best exhibit yet, hang out with our artists, see live performances from Amy Youngs and Rachel Frank, and see who gets this year’s Creative Climate Awards $2,000 grand prize.

hiilogoThe Creative Climate Awards are an annual series of events from the Human Impacts Institute that showcase artists creating climate-inspired, public works and actions. In an effort to inspire us to think more critically about our actions and their impacts, the Creative Climate Awards program uses the arts and creativity to share knowledge, broaden the climate conversation, educate, and incite action.

The Human Impacts Institute is a non-profit organization that inspires YOU to transform environmental challenges into social action for a just and livable world. They do this through Creative Communication, Learning-By-Doing, and Curated Actions.
