Green Power Factory - 2023. 10 inches by 13 inches . Edition of 450 . Signed by Shepard Fairey
I’m releasing this Green Power Factory Letterpress to coincide with Earth Day. It is priced at about 30% less than normal because I’m a perfectionist and I think the red printed a little bit dark over the blue. I hope my pickiness finds symbiosis with your desire for the art and a good deal! Green Power is a concept I’ve promoted in several pieces of my art. We need to transition to renewable sources of energy for the health of the planet. The fossil fuel industries have tremendous power economically, but we now know that not only are fossil fuel sources finite but that using them is terrible for climate change and, therefore, the ecosystems that sustain life on our planet. Unfortunately, due to the political power of these industries and public apathy about climate change, the government subsidizes the fossil fuel industries for billions even as they damage the environment. The government works for the citizens, so the choice is ours. Do we support endless power for wealthy fossil fuel corporations? Or policies that promote green power and put the earth first with the planet before profits? Please read Naomi Klein’s THIS CHANGES EVERYTHING to better understand the conflict between economic interests and climate change.
