This is something I’m pretty passionate about. The temptation in awareness-raising is to be judgemental, Puritanical and misanthropic - and then you get real resistance. I find that addressing the question through art helps engage feelings as well as principles, makes you respond in a thoughtful, disciplined and informed, as well as compassionate way, and brings together a respect for the human contribution to the world. We are capable of so much more than mindless greed and vandalism.
