In creating this illustration, I chose Coca Cola as the most definitive symbol of the consumerist age. I am not suggesting that the carbonated drink is causing the ruination of the planet. We all know the carbonated atmosphere is the problem.
As our sweltering planet struggles with the pressures of global warming, it can only blame relentless consumerism which drives deforestation and carbon emissions.
Let’s imagine Planet Earth’s musings:
Those ungrateful human beings! I gave them a sustainable planet with a beautiful environment and perfectly balanced ecosystems, and they are ruining everything.
They just don’t treat me with the respect I deserve.
Now there are 8 billion humans, and it’s just too much to bear.
Where, oh where can I buy some relief?
