Steps Artists Can Take to Protect Our Mother Earth

Every one of us may be responsible for contributing to increased pollution, harm and destruction to the environment. If we care, we have the option to be consciously aware of our actions and change bad habits. We can make a positive difference. Here are steps artists can take to protect Mother Earth.

To accompany this article I chose an awe-inspiring painting by Peter N. Van Giesen, a meditative photograph by co-creators Dick and Rosanne, and a breathtaking painting by Claude Monet.

• Create art that raises awareness about important issues regarding nature.
• Organize an art exhibition on the topic of our choice about art and nature.
• Promote artists, exhibitions and galleries that are environmentally conscious.

Inspirational Reminders for Us to Protect Mother Earth

“The more clearly we can focus our attention on the wonders and realities of the universe about us, the less taste we shall have for destruction. The question is whether any civilization can wage relentless war on life without destroying itself, and without losing the right to be called civilized.” ~ Rachel Louise Carson

The ground we walk on, the plants and creatures, the clouds above constantly dissolving into new formations – each gift of nature possessing its own radiant energy, bound together by cosmic harmony. ~ Ruth Bernhard
