rev:text	It seems the Biosphère is in danger, and will close its doors to the public in October. Mmm, what does that say about the general interest in ecology and sustainability in Canada... I admit it, I'm pretty green, I'm your annoying friend with a sustainable water bottle who won't shut up about it. Did you turn off the light when you left the room? I also have to admit that, shamefully, I had never, as a Montrealer, set foot in the Biosphère before. Still, I can't imagine a sky-view of Montreal without the pretty dandelion globe. It's even more beautiful and surreal in person than it is in pictures, but the interior is surprisingly small and intuitive. There are different exhibitions, all revolving around natural ressources and ecology. The room dedicated to water is pretty fun since YOU have to participate in the activities and get yourself wet! You can even unleash your inner messiah and walk on water! Another cool exhibition highlights how we could reuse waste in the fashion industry, the pieces are not always practical but always pretty neat. My favourite outfit was 98% air according to the wall text! Don't miss the circular cinema room, and get to know the fauna of Quebec (little birdies! Aww) Where you really want to be is at the highest floor, not only is the view spectacular, but it retraces the story of the Biosphère and its architect's other projects such as a sustainable more efficient (and stylish) car, or how he gave his name to an atom structure and later to a common office-desk toy (bucky balls!). I feel a very special sense of relationship with the Sphère: it became such an icon of Expo 67, which had such a great impact on Montreal. I can't help but be proud of it, even if it was, originally, the US pavilion! But a lot of things about it make me unbearably sad: it will close, and I think we'll loose a wonderful part of our history. The lack of funds is felt: some exhibits artifacts don't work, or not as well as they should be. The rooms are a bit of a mumbo-jumbo, why aren't they organized by elements? Or regions of the world, or environmental dangers? And then I feel so small, because even tough the museum highlights how we negatively impact our world, there is no specific section on what we can do to help. What ressources are there, in Montreal, in Canada? Go see the dandelion before it's blown away!
