Climate change is real and it's no joke Climate change is a natural phenomenon. The Earth has gone through several climate changes in its history but never at the rate it's going now. Human activity is accelerating the process to something that has never been documented before. Since the industrial age the quality of life for humans has improved significantly but at the same time we have lost all connection and respect for nature and other life on Earth.

Climate change is not something that can be denied or ignored. There is a clear correlation between global warming and the burning of fossil fuels. Glaciers are retreating at an alarming rate. Extreme weather is becoming increasingly common. Life on Earth as we know it is going to change for the worse unless we change first. We still have time to reduce our impact on the climate and ensure a future on this planet for generations to come. We must all take responsibility for our actions and make a change. You might think that one person can't do much but 7,5 billion people can do a lot! For more information on what you can do for the Earth please check out www.ourplanet.com

I've wanted to do an illustration on climate change for a long time but it's such an abstract and complicated topic. I was inspired by a timelapse video of a retreating glacier in my own country, Iceland. The overall retreat of glaciers annually in Iceland is around 40 square kilometers. I was very startled by this change happening in my home country and was inspired to create this melting glacier design ✨ do you prefer the black or colored version? Let me know in the comments below
Clean ups help more than what you think because they raise awareness and encourage people to change their habits.
.
You may feel that you’re just picking up a piece of plastic, but by that you are avoiding that piece of plastic to be eaten or affecting a sea animal. So yes, clean ups do save lives .
.
No matter where you are, you can do your part by:
1️⃣ Join a clean up
2️⃣ Avoid single use waste (not only plastic, but paper and “biodegradable” plastic too)
3️⃣Do a clean up by yourself everyday on your way to the office or coffee shop.
4️⃣ Have your own reusable kit and take it with you everywhere
5️⃣Support an NGO that is working to raise awareness and educate about waste pollution.
