“Climate change is important to me because it affects us now and will affect the future generations to come. Our generation is pretty motivated to do things like recycle, re-use things, be vegetarian/ vegan, and thrift clothing instead of buying new, which is great to see. Personally I am vegetarian because of the effects on the climate and the mistreatment of the animals themselves, and I like to use found objects in my artwork so that I don’t have to buy new things or create more waste. Also, this year I decided to focus more energy on using materials that do not harm the earth since a lot of the materials we have access to are not great for the earth, and also aren’t great for our personal health.”
