(Barry Scanlan for Art to Change the World)

This purpose of this image is to convey how large businesses and corporations disregard environmental consequences of their actions in order to extend their wealth and control. This piece of art is quite current (2018?) and its message is still significant as this is still a prominent issue. It is important for us as a society to acknowledge the importance of preserving the state of our planet as it is essential to our survival and our future. It is true that many companies and individuals who are in charge of these companies are motivated by their desire for money and power, with little to no care about how some factors of their operations (ex: high carbon footprints) impact the condition of the planet, environment, and climate. This resonates especially now because it emphasizes how people are so focused on becoming more affluent that they do not see the increasing negative impact they may have on our world.
