Label copy

This print’s graphics and text focus on local sustainability. Providence artist Meredith Stern envisions a society of well-being, urging us to take care of the earth in small and big ways

Changes in personal daily habits—including choosing public transportation, using renewable energy, and simply consuming less—can all impact sustainability. Stern also encourages us to “Boycott big corporations.” Although individual action is important, 100 global companies produced 71% of the world’s greenhouse-gas emissions over the last 30 years. Unless we hold big corporations accountable, this cycle continues.

We as a community can take care of the earth, ourselves, and each other.

–Marny Kindness, exhibitions manager
