“DO YOU REALIZE?
97% of actively publishing scientists agree climate change is real and human caused. There are increasing fires, hurricanes, rising sea levels, poor air quality and loss of biodiversity, yet action has been slow and insufficient. Humans must come together to collectively implement behavior change. Leading the movement is young people. Kevin Ledo and aptART worked with the ladies of Girls Inc. of Lynn to bring awareness to this pressing problem. Below the question, DO YOU REALIZE? Kevin painted a portrait of a young climate activist named, DeeDee. Inside her shirt, all the participants painted things they feel adults and the greater public are failing to understand about the future. The hope is that all who pass by will read the messages and feel empowered to vote and/or organize their communities for a healthy planet.”
