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

The Eco-Earth Globe is an outdoor sculpture in Riverfront Park in Salem, Oregon, formed from a 26-foot (7.9 m) acid storage ball that once belonged to Boise Cascade. Its surface is covered with hundreds of ceramic icons made by students and volunteers, representing different cultures.

The globe originated as an industrial acid storage container for a paper company before being transformed into public art in 2003. This conversion from industrial equipment into a community artwork represents a shift toward recycling and repurposing old structures.

Hundreds of ceramic tiles were created by local artists and students, each depicting different regions and environmental themes from around the world. These handcrafted pieces work together to tell a story about how our planet's diverse places and ecosystems are connected.

The sculpture sits centrally in Riverfront Park and is easily accessible by walking through the park's pathways. Visit during daylight hours to see the ceramic details clearly, and allow time to walk around the entire structure to view all sections of the artwork.

The globe began as a 26-foot (7.9 m) acid storage ball owned by Boise Cascade, a pulp and paper company. Salem's mayor Roger Gertenrich conceived the community art project, and local art teacher and artist Mary P. D. Heintzman served as its art director.
