As frightening as global warming is, it’s empowering to know that each one of us has the power to make a difference. The more of us join in and do our part, the sooner we can save our Earth.
Taking little steps every day can lessen the impacts of global warming. Recycling is one of the easiest methods of doing your part to help the environment, and it’s also one of the must fun as it lends itself to immense creativity.
Check out the slideshow below to see the type of art global warming prevention can inspire, and hopefully you’ll be motivated to do your part too.
