Whenever the topic of climate change comes up, it is surrounded by doubt and minimization, and that simply does not do justice to the action that needs to be taken. Art is a great form of expression, and can often move a greater number of people than statistics. On this page, we will publish art that anyone submits through the google form. We will be providing a monthly prompt for inspiration. We also have an option to post your art on the bulletin! This is your way to express yourself and your ideas on Climate Change and the Human influence on Earth, through a medium of your choice: drawing, writing, poetry, and more.
Submit art using the google form to the left. We do have some ground rules as to what can be submitted, so submissions will be reviewed before being published. Your submission must be...
Related to climate or the earth
School-appropriate
Free of anything considered harassment or bullying
Free of misinformation
Personally Made (Not Plagiarized)
If your art is a short text or written quote, (that you wrote!) you can simply type it into the google form. However, if it is long, we would recommend pasting it into a google document and linking to the document. To submit images or videos, save them to your google drive and paste the shared link into the form. To submit a podcast or audio recording, just submit a video with a black background. To submit a pdf, paste in the link of the pdf. Of course, for any google slideshow, google doc, google draw, etc. you can simply set link sharing to "anyone with the link can view" and paste in the shareable link. We take artist attribution seriously, so in the google form you can let us know how you want to be credited (or if you want to remain anonymous). If your art is an image or a very short phrase, we can put it on the bulletin if you so choose. However, we cannot post videos, long-form text, ect. on the bulletin due to time constraints. Finally, please keep in mind that this website is public. Your voice will be heard!

Repostable with creditGreen: January 2021
Whenever we try to help the environment we are told to think about the affects on the economy. Yet, when they try to help the economy they do not think about the affects on the environment.
"The Green Balance"

Repostable with credit"You Say Green"
By Sarah Lehman
Repostable with creditYou say “green,” and I’ll shake my head
Because really, I’ll just ask you
What is it you mean when you say green?
Is it the green of sylvan hilltops,
A fragrant verdance
Hanging over the blessed day?
Or the slick, congealed color
Of mold, turning on
The writhing waste for which we’ve paid?
Is it the emerald shimmer
Of a bejeweled snake
Circled by lush and towering trees?
Or the muddy opaque
Of tainted water
Lapping with the pungent breeze?
It had better be the former choice,
For with the last we’ve much to lose.
Though it ought to be clear to all:
We have the wond’rous power to choose.
By Seamus Ryan

Non-repostableThat's why we
Celebrate this day.
That's why across
The world we say:
As long as life,
As dear, as free,
I am the Earth
And the Earth is me.

We’re Always Falling
By Sarah Lehman
Repostable with creditYou know, I think it’s strange
That we’ll never change
Just wait, wait, falling.
‘Cause we’re a sinking ship
With a slipping grip
Just wait, wait, darling.
You know, I think it’s strange
That we’ll always arrange
To just take, take, falling.
‘Cause ‘twill be too late
If we continue to wait
And just take, take, darling.
You know, I think it’s strange
That we’re so deranged
We’re blind, blind, falling.
‘Cause we can see, you and I
But we’ll close our eyes
Just blind, blind, darling.
You know, I think it’s strange
That in our daily exchange
We’ll forget, forget, falling.
‘Cause it’s easy to turn
And so hard to learn
Just forget, forget, darling.
Don’t you think it’s strange
We’ll dig our own graves
We’re waiting, taking
Forgetting and blinded.
I’m no high Longfellow
With morals so mellow.
I’ve just gotten to thinking
Though our ship is a-sinking
Isn’t it odd we can’t be reminded?
Oh, don’t you know, darling,
We’re always falling.

Repostable with credit"Why Wait?"
By Sarah Beckman
Repostable with creditWhy do we wait for someone else
Why not do it just ourselves
We wait and wait, harming the Earth
Draining our planet of beauty and mirth
We always think they don’t mean me
But if they don’t then who
Really, they don’t need others
They just need you
So write others, clean up, and above always, be kind
Then no one else will be left behind
And our Earth will be clean
And you’ll be happy
So why wait?

"SOMEBODY HELP ME"
By Solaine Bardin
“ . . .I saw her, really saw her, not as one of the disappearing population but as a single, distinct individual—a daughter, a sister perhaps—who lived freely and died tragically. I imagined her in her final moments: the terrified trashing, the tangle of rope, holding her breath against the murky midnight water for countless frantic seconds until at last her burning lungs insisted on one final inhale. In my mind, her little frame cast out on that isolated beach transformed into the body of a young girl dumped by the side of the road outside a rural town. She’d been murdered. And everyone knew who’d done it” (Brooke Bessen, Vaquita, 4). We need to stop the black market criminals from driving the Totoaba and Vaquita to extinction.
"Our Endangered World"
By Sarah Beckman
Repostable with creditOur world is endangered
We are not doing enough
Just filling the Earth with unwanted stuff
Animals are endangered
And we just stand by
Watching as species go and die
Plants are endangered
We hack them down
And there are no frowns
Nature is endangered
We kill and pollute
Not even caring when our world becomes mute
We are endangered
We are in danger
By hurting our Earth
