The Organic Answer to Climate Change Art Project

Art Project of the Week

With just over a month to go before the critical UN climate talks in Copenhagen, we’re trying to spread the word about organic agriculture’s amazing potential to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and sequester climate-destabilizing CO2 in the soil.

OCA is joining the 1Sky Campaign’s “Make Art for Climate” project that brings people together to decorate large pieces of cloth with images conveying the urgency around climate change and the need for positive solutions.

If you send our Washington, DC, office an artwork on cloth, OCA Political Director Alexis Baden-Mayer will incorporate your art into a large banner for use in public actions and demonstrations. Prior to the start of the Copenhagen Summit on December 7, the art pieces will be delivered in DC to the Obama administration and key Senate offices. This DC delivery will be complemented by public actions and similar art deliveries to local Senate offices across the country from December 1-4, all aimed at drawing media attention to the need for President Obama and the Senate to take bold action on climate.

To get involved contact alexis{at}organicconsumers.org or mail your artwork to 1858 Mintwood Place, NW #4, Washington, DC, 20009.
