GAIA – Earth Artwork by Luke Jerram

Fortunate to see the display of Gaia, the touring artwork by UK artist, Luke Jerram, hosted this month at the Beverley Minster.

Measuring seven metres in diameter and created from detailed NASA imagery of the Earth’s surface the artwork provides the opportunity to see our planet, floating in three dimensions. In Greek Mythology Gaia is the personification of the Earth.

Common features of the experience are a feeling of awe for the planet, a profound understanding of the interconnection of all life, and a renewed sense of responsibility for taking care of the environment.

@YellowsBestLtd helps Customers with their operational needs, and one aspect is to #Reduce the demand for avoidable whole-scale replacements through a combination of supply for #Reuse of refurbished spares and repair of system elements. When removal and disposal of no-longer serviceable infrastructure parts is necessary, we can also assist with the resale and #Recycle for ‘value recovery’ of valuable materials. In this small way, we aim to make a difference in the impact we have on our planet through sustainable solutions.

Please get in touch should you wish to discuss your operational requirements and see how @YellowsBestLtd can be of assistance.
