Eco-Earth Globe, Public art globe in Riverfront Park, Salem, United States.

The outdoor sculpture features a rotating spherical structure measuring 26 feet in diameter, covered with detailed ceramic elements depicting Earth's features.

The structure originated as an acid storage container for Boise Cascade paper company before its transformation into public art in 2003.

Local artists and students created hundreds of ceramic pieces for the globe, incorporating elements that represent different world regions and environmental themes.

The globe stands centrally within Salem Riverfront Park at coordinates 44°56′20″N 123°02′39″W, making it accessible through park pathways.

The structure retains its ability to rotate despite its conversion from industrial equipment, allowing visitors to observe different sections of the ceramic artwork.

GPS coordinates: 44.93870,-123.04424
