Wake Up! Emissions Down

Wake Up! Emissi∅ns down now.
Those who will be affected the hardest are already suffering the consequences.

This is my digital protest-poster contribution to @mateactnow a project raising collective awareness on #climatechange.

The poster has been designed to be displayed upright as well as upside down.

To celebrate the 50th anniversary of Earth Day, I would like to share with you an extract from @gretathunberg which resonates more than ever with the current COVID-19 climate:

“When I was about eight years old, I first heard about something called climate change, or global warming. Apparently, that was something humans had created by our way of living. I was told to turn off the lights to save energy, and to recycle paper to save resources.

I remember thinking that it was very strange that humans, who are an animal species among others, could be capable of changing the earth’s climate.

Because, if we were and if it was really happening, we wouldn’t be talking about anything else. As soon as you turned on the TV, everything would be about that. Headlines, radio, newspapers. You would never read or hear about anything else. As if there was a world war going on.”
