致藝術家：
敬邀藝術家提交作品圖片參加2007年9月在上海藝術景展出的“全球變暖”展覽。這將是在中國舉辦的第一屆此類活動。這將會是一個從中國藝術界發出的向社會各界呼籲關注這一日漸嚴重的問題並且防範環境危機到來的展覽。與主題相關的作品將有可能被採用。可以包括的題材有：工廠，與加熱或製冷有關的機器或裝置，燃料資源，自然，人類對自然的破壞，污染，家畜，破壞大氣層的原因，洪水及其他有可能相關的題材。如果您的作品表達了對環境問題的敏感或是對我們的星球遭到破壞的關注，請考慮申請加入我們的展覽。所有媒介的作品都可以參加——繪畫，攝影，雕塑，綜合材料以及裝置等。我們將選擇15名藝術家參加此次群展，如需獲得資訊或了解如何參加，請訪問我們的網站 www.QuanQiuBianNuan.com 或致電 021 6433 8403 朱倩。
背景：
全球變暖是一個全球性綜合環境問題。美國是目前為止世界上最大的二氧化碳排放國（它的二氧化碳排放量甚至超過了中國，印度和日本排放量的總和）。世界各國的人民都應該共同努力，採取力所能及的行動來阻止對我們生態系統的破壞。中國和印度，由於經濟的快速發展，成為二氧化碳排量增長最快的國家。每一個人和各國政府都應該對全球變暖引起重視，並嘗試減少二氧化碳排量來幫助我們星球上的每一個人類和動植物減緩全球變暖的過程。
人類對於環境問題的忽視很大程度上來自對此缺乏了解，所以我們希望通過舉辦第一個呼籲對全球變暖關注的展覽來增加社會對於這個問題的了解和關注。
一些我們力所能及可以減緩全球變暖的事情：
1）節約能源：發電廠會産生二氧化碳。所以請儘量節約電力資源。盡可能少開燈。在不用的時候關掉電視，電腦，傳真機，DVD播放器。使用節能燈泡。不要讓冰箱打開的時間太久。電器和用具上大多都有耗能指標，請儘量購買環保節能的産品。冬季在家多穿一件毛衣或飽暖內衣減少取暖器的使用。夏天在非常需要時才打開空調，關掉不使用房間內的空調。做好房間的隔熱，以防冷熱氣流的流失。
2）迴圈利用物資及購買可迴圈利用的物品。不用泡沫塑膠。建議你的小區物業使用分類垃圾筒。在辦公室採取相應辦法。購買用可回收或生物降解材料包裝的物品。再利用：特別是塑膠容器和購物袋。塑膠袋會嚴重污染環境。可以購買一個可以永久使用的購物袋來替代塑膠袋的使用。
3）交通工具。減少交通污染。試著盡可能使用公共交通系統，如地鐵或公交巴士。更好的方法是騎自行車或者走路。如果一定要開車或者乘計程車，儘量拼車。確保你的車輪裏有適量的氣體。如果輪胎充氣不足會導致汽車消耗更多燃料。在選擇燃料方面，儘量使用碳排放較少的燃料。
4）一個個體以肉食為主的飲食需要比素食為主的飲食多7倍的土地提供。畜牧業對於全球氣候的影響甚至多過世界上所有的機動交通工具。試著在飲食中減少肉食的射入。一個星期嘗試吃一次素食。要知道，中國的素食可是世界上最美味的！
Global Warming "Warning" Exhibition
INVITATION TO ARTISTS:
Artists are invited to submit images of their work to participate in the “Global Warming Awareness Exhibition” to be held at Art Scene China in Shanghai in September 2007. This exhibition will be the first of its kind in China; it will be a call from the Chinese art community to the community at large to be aware of this growing problem and to try to take action towards preventing a global catastrophe. Artwork related to this topic will be considered for the exhibition. Work relating to the topic can include such things as: factories, things relating to heat and freezing, nature, the destruction of nature, pollution, livestock, things that destroy the atmosphere, flood-related work, and many other things, etc. If your work expresses sensitivity to the well-being of the environment or a concern for the demise of our planet, please consider applying for this exhibition. All media will be considered – including painting, photography, sculptures, mixed media and installations. 15 artists will be selected for this group exhibition. For information how to join, please see the website: www.QuanQiuBianNuan.com or call Ms Zhu at: 6433-8403.
BACKGROUND:
Global warming is a global problem. While the United States is by far the greatest emitter of carbon dioxide (the United States emits more carbon dioxide than China, India and Japan combined), people of the world need to unite in their efforts to take whatever action they can to prevent the destruction of our ecosystem. China and India are the fastest growing emitters of carbon dioxide, and while their economic growth is certainly important, the safety of the world should be a priority for everyone. Every individual and every government should take responsibility for global warming and should try to reduce carbon dioxide emissions to help everyone and all the animals on our planet.
Human carelessness towards the planet is largely due to a lack of awareness and so we hope to elicit concern and compassion for the world by hosting the first exhibition calling for Global Warming Awareness and Prevention.
Somethings you can doto help alleviate global warming:
1) Save energy: factories that produce electricity also produce carbon dioxide. Be conscious and try to use as little electricity as possible. Turn off lights whenever possible. Turn off your computer, your fax machine, your tv, your dvd player when not using them. Use energy saving light bulbs. Don’t keep your refrigerator open for long. Buy more energy efficient products and appliances, most have energy-usage ratings on them. In winter, wear a pullover or thermal underwear at home and turn down the temperature of your heating. In summer, only turn on the air conditioning when you really need it and where possible, turn it off in rooms that are not in use. Do not have air conditioners set so that rooms are cooler than they need to be. Insulate your home and seal up drafts, to prevent heating/cooling from escaping.
2) Recycle and buy products that are recyclable. No Styrofoam. Suggest to your apartment management to have recycling bins. You can also do this at the office. Buy products that are packaged in recyclable or biodegradable material. Reuse: In particular plastic containers and shopping bags. Plastic bags hurt the environment. You can buy a ‘bag for life’ to put your shopping in so that you don’t have to use shopping bags at all.
3) Vehicles pollute. Waste less with transportation. Try to use mass public transportation whenever possible, such as the subway or public bus. Or even better, ride a bicycle or walk. If you must drive or take a taxi, try to car-pool. And make sure that your car tires are filled the optimum amount; slightly flat tired waste lots of fossil fuels, which pollutes the environment you’re your car, use fuel that has a low carbon emission.
4) A meat-based diet requires seven times more land than a plant-based diet. Livestock production is responsible for more climate change gasses than all the motor vehicles in the world. Try minimizing the amount of meat that you eat. Or even 'go vegetarian' at least once a week. It is easy and most delicious in China.（責編：裴剛）
