Today is Earth Day, but like I’ve said before, every day should be Earth Day. We are part of nature, not above it, and when we don’t treat our home well, it will eventually not treat us well. We (powerful corporations especially) are behaving like the earth is indestructible… which it isn’t! Hopefully, you don’t need to be a “nature” person to understand that this planet is the one we humans and all other species have to live on. We don’t need to behave like greedy, short-sighted pigs, and we certainly shouldn’t let our corporations behave that way at our expense and their profit. This “Earth Preservation” print addresses the major culprit in putting profits before the health of the planet and its inhabitants… the oil and gas industries. The power of the oil lobby comes from their deep pockets and huge profits, which are often subsidized by us, the taxpayers, who will also be paying to clean up the environmental damage of extracting and burning oil and gas. Yes, we need energy from oil as we transition to more renewables and electric vehicle infrastructure, but the point is that the investment in evolving needs to be made in order to loosen the toxic stranglehold the oil and gas industries have. The future is worth investing in and fighting for. Don’t let them make a killing! A portion of proceeds from this print will benefit Greenpeace’s work to combat environmental destruction. Please support them if you are capable!
