Artist Xavier Cortada Encourages Eco-Support
Through a green movement initiated by Miami artist Xavier Cortada, you can be a part of speaking on behalf of nature!
Back in the summer of ’08, Cortada felt inspired to travel to the North Pole and plant a ‘green flag’ as a way to ‘claim’ the health of our planet as a priority. Through the use of several social media campaigns and collaborations with other organizations he’s been on a mission to inspire change through action at greater heights and this now incorporates YOU.
“Melting polar sea ice has global political powers clamoring to place their flags over the Arctic to control the Northwest Passage shipping lanes and the petroleum and mineral resources beneath the ice. Cortada developed Native Flags as an eco-art project to engage people globally in a reforestation campaign to prevent the polar regions from melting.”—Ecoartspace
The aim is to keep this green movement rolling for positive action! He now invites you to plant a flag in your own yard in addition to a tree. This would equate to using your sphere of influence in a whole new eco way! Think of it as a way to express your love and appreciation for the natural resources that have provided you with such an amazing planet to live on. Now, you’re able to show your support through this inspirational action.
