Here’s anoth­er poster protest­ing the U.S. mil­i­tary’s role in pol­lut­ing the earth. The Depart­ment of “Defense” pro­duces more haz­ardous waste than the five largest U.S. oil com­pa­nies com­bined! At the same time, the Pen­ta­gon is exempt from all inter­na­tion­al cli­mate agree­ments!!! How can this be?

Earth Not War

environment, sustainability,ecology, anti-war,

When we think about envi­ron­men­tal destruc­tion, we must think about war because mod­ern war­fare (most par­tic­u­lar­ly com­ing from our own mil­i­tary) is the num­ber one ene­my of the earth. Eco­cide — the destruc­tion of the nat­ur­al envi­ron­ment, espe­cial­ly when delib­er­ate — is both a strat­e­gy (i.e., Agent orange) and a con­se­quence of our mil­i­tary prac­tices (i.e., oil use) of U.S. wars. So, we fool our­selves if we think we can address cli­mate change and the envi­ron­ment with­out being anti-war. If you would like to check an arti­cle on this top­ic, read Karl Math­ieson’s What is the Impact of Mod­ern War­fare in the 11/06/2014 issue of The Guardian.

No Fracking

Beau­ti­ful, beau­ti­ful Ire­land is cur­rent­ly being threat­ened by frack­ing. Is noth­ing sacred? While I made this poster in imme­di­ate response to the Irish frack­ing cri­sis, the name of place can, unfor­tu­nate­ly, be changed to many oth­er spots.
