Every few years, it seems, I end up pointing readers back to an essay that (obviously) inspired me greatly: Bill McKibben’s “What the warming world needs now is art, sweet art”<\/a> from 2005. Yes, much has changed about how we address, and even think about, climate change<\/a> in the nine years since Grist published this piece, but McKibben’s call to inspire through art still strikes me as important… and, unfortunately, often ignored.<\/p>\n

So I was really pleased to see the following post from our sister site Cleantechnica which announces a climate action\u00a0campaign designed to inspire the production of art. Looking back to the victory posters of World War II, the Climate Victory campaign<\/a> brings together four organizations (including McKibben-led 350.org) to encourage the creation of “victory posters” in the war against climate change.<\/p>\n

Take a look at the initial posters, and let us know if you plan to contribute: we don’t have an artist to spare in this battle!<\/p>\n
