Ecotoons

So I've been doing cartoons of ecological disasters that have happened or are continuing to happen around the places I've lived. When you live in poor areas, people are inclined to use the land, air, and water to make a quick buck and create a few jobs for one generation, but these decisions are usually costly. They create a debt that can't be paid back. It's like check cashing businesses--you get hooked by fast money, but then you're in the hole for good. I thought it would be appropriate to paint them on cardboard boxes. Click on them to see them much bigger!
