                 summer exhibit centers around the simple fact that we
    New York
                 have only one planet. About the size of an over-large          Green Apartments in New York
     Portland
                 beach ball, each globe promotes a message of
                 conservation and sustainability. Beans, grains and other
    San Diego
                 edibles completely cover one that is dedicated to the
 San Francisco   theme of sustainable agriculture. Another wears a green
                 roof. My favorite is supported by stout tree trunks – a
Santa Barbara
                 clear reminder of our reliance on healthy trees and
                 forests.
       Seattle

                 These model globes – created by artists, children,
Washington DC
                 schools and environmental organizations – are the most
                 visible part of One Planet--Ours, a mostly outdoor
                 exhibit that focuses on positive actions we can all take to
                 reduce our negative impact on the planet.

                 “Mom! Mom! Here’s another one,” shrieks a little girl,
                 barely five years old. Primary colors and tangible, tactile
                 designs lure children and adults from one model to the
                 next. A visit quickly becomes a treasure hunt. The
                 outdoor setting invites play. Children run laps from globe
                 to globe, leading their parents on haphazard tours of sustainable energy, local agriculture,
                 endangered species conservation and much more. I spot more than one child run up and
                 embrace our planet.

                 Several solar and wind energy displays are scattered about. I fell for the windspire, a petite
                 vertical windmill designed for residential power generation. Elsewhere, solar panels
                 mounted on a rotating base help illustrate how a home’s orientation to the sun can affect
                 the amount of energy harvested.

                 So many important museum exhibits overwhelm their visitors with facts and figures,
                 demanding a state of attention few of us want to bring to our leisure time. One Planet
                 avoids this flaw. The globes are dressed in party colors. A scattering of interactive elements
                 invites play. Even the panels - with their decidedly serious messages of personal
                 responsibility and sustainability – are tucked among flowering plants. Crowded into a single
                 room, removed from nature and sunlight and fresh air, One Planet would be a totally
                 different exhibit. But, released to the gardens around the nation’s conservatory, this exhibit
                 invites exploration.

                 But here’s the best part - surely just an accident of geography. The Botanic Garden sits
                 practically on the Capital’s lawn, and overlooking the globes and educational exhibits stands
                 the United States Capital Building. A reminder to us all. This exhibit was born of scientists,
                 educators, teachers, activists and students. Their passion and creativity is displayed in
                 every hand-decorated globe and interpretive exhibit panel. But in order to truly succeed,
                 this energy must be merged with the sort that runs through the halls of the Capital.

                 One Planet is a casual exhibit. You won’t need a map, just a willingness to stroll among
                 flowers and planets. If you can, bring a child as your guide. If not, visit anyway – the
                 exhibit is free, and would be worth it at twice the price.

                 The United States Botanic Garden is free and open daily from 10 am to 5 pm. One
                 Planet--Ours runs through October 13. Visit www.usbg.gov for directions, special events
                 and more information.
