The World Is What We Make It

Art for Peace picture
Artist: Maia G.
Location: Wilson, United States
Age: 13
"The Earth is much like a tree. What you feed it, give it, is what it becomes. If a tree is given fertilizer, sun, and water, it will grow large. If it is neglected, it will wilt and die. If waste and pollution is what we give the earth, that it what it becomes. If we mistreat the world and do not care for it, it will be a wasteland. In our greediness to be better, more powerful, more advanced, we overlook those who do not have a say in things - the poor, homeless, even the people with no voice. We must be their voice. My poster signifies the choice we have. One side shows us feeding the world tree gray water, which represents us reverting to nuclear power. The other shows cleaner water, showing the green choices we could make."
