Climate Change EmergencyCap

KEY: 1. Shield area for a climate change slogan [faces front of hat]; the shield would be where the Fire Station Engine# would be on a firefighters’ helmet. 2. Shield support brace [use hot-glue to be sturdy]. 3. Vertical areas between hat-seams for images, data & text. 4. Brim of Cap - perfect for small 3D objects glued securely to the hat; [faces the back-side of the cap].

A RECIPE FOR CHANGING... FROM CLIMATE DESPAIR TO EMPOWERMENT Form follows function in this simple formula for YOU to easily transform a baseball cap into an intriguing converstaion starter, a Climate Change EmergencyCap. Worn backwards and painted in OJ-Red background color, its form symbolizes a firefighter’s helmet for acknowledging our current emergency to put out the fire of global warming. Begin by following your curiosity online learning about the climate change issues that upsets you the most, collect images, data, and words/slogans to embed on your Cap in 2D and 3D formats. This is a fun project for the classroom, at home as an intergenerational family project or in your community. I have posted a free How-To Video on Vimeo, along with my climate hats.
