Footing the Bill: Art and Our Ecological Footprint (Part I)

| August 11, 2015 | Leave a Comment

Part I of a two-part exhibition addressing the urgent need to live sustainably within Earth’s finite resources.

As human population and consumption grow, we will make ever-increasing demands upon the forests, pastures, cropland, fisheries and other biologically productive areas of this planet we call home. Today, humanity uses the equivalent of 1.6 planets to satisfy our demands for natural resources and waste absorption, and we are on track to require the resources of two planets well before mid-century. Art Works For Change, along with partners at Global Footprint Network, Earth Day Network and World Wildlife Fund, invite you to explore these issues through the unique lens of contemporary art.
