If you have been to Boston recently, you've probably noticed the "Cool Globes" exhibits, which promote sustainability through artistic expression. One particular globe created by artist, Karen Ami, is titled "Manufacturing a Green Way” and American Engineered Fabrics, Inc. of New Bedford, MA, says it strives to embody the message of this globe.
