Svizzera Pavilion

Les richesses s’épuisent…
La suisse a décidé d’utiliser une métaphore pour développer le thème.
Rendez-​vous dans la tour pour être sensibilisé au problème de la planète.
Comment? Au pavillon suisse, dans la tour, la métaphore concerne, le café, les pommes et l’eau.
La suisse a installé des rayonnages immenses de denrées: des sticks de café (marque nescafé), des sachets de pommes séchées, ainsi que des gobelets (cela représente l’eau).
Le calcul est simple: vous rentrez, vous vous gavez de produits gratuits? ou vous écoutez le discours (pas moralisateur) de l’état d’esprit c’est à dire la vision suisse.
ILS NE RECHARGERONT PAS CES STOCKS JUSQU’A LA FIN DE L’EXPOSITION soit 6 mois!!!
VOUS AVEZ LE CHOIX, NOUS AVONS LE CHOIX
gaspiller, piller la planète? ou bien partager!!!
Telle est la réflexion: né pillons pas la planète.
Le symbole, c’est de se servir (si l’on n’en a envie de sticks de café, de pommes séchées et de gobelets) OU PAS !!!
Passé l’exposition, garder en tête la notion d’économie, de partage, de l’eau, des richesses de la terre etc…
C’est bien vu.

«Free doesn’t mean infinite» that’s the message this pavilion wants us to understand… and so far it has failed because people can be selfish, inconsiderate and careless about resources and what we are leaving behind for future generations. This one, for me, is the pavilion that mostly represents what the Expo should be about.
There are 4 towers that were filled at the begining of the Expo with tons and tons of 4 resources: salt, coffee, water and dried apples to give away to visitors for free, in a quantity that should have been enough for the whole Expo period and for all visitors; the towers are divided in floors and they should be emptied at the same time, however, many careless visitors have been taking more that one of each in their visits to the towers — especially apples and water — so, many other visitors haven’t been able to get water or apples from the towers, and the rhythm at which the towers are emptying after just two months of Expo is not encouraging (I hope the Swiss pavilion doesn’t refill them…) — I mean, why do you have to take the water from this pavilion when there’s water for free all over the Expo site?!?
So yes, that’s what we’re doing, we are taking and taking resources that seem infinite to us neverminding what we’re leaving behind to the future generations, that’s something to really think about.
Besides the message of the towers, on the ground floor of the pavilion there are interesting exhibits from the different Swiss cantons, a restaurant/​bar, the cool Nestlé interactive exhibit that you should check out if you want to find out more about a balanced and healthy diet.
Also, try to take the one-​hour-​long chocolate atelier taking place next to the restaurant twice a day (check the daily program of Expo for exact times or ask the pavilion staff), a fun activity for all ages!
