More frequent and intense drought, storms, heat waves, rising sea levels, melting glaciers and warming oceans can directly harm animals, destroy the places they live, and wreak havoc on people's livelihoods and communities. I created this project because I wanted to do something around climate change and the use of fossil fuels. I choose to make a hand with oil dripping and to make a city building with plants growing over it. For the oil I wanted to do that because it represents what's happening to water and that we're the cause of it. For the plants I wanted to show that humans and nurture should live in harmony and to have more plants in the world. I want people to learn and be aware of what we're doing to our planet and show that we can still help and make things to save our planet. By using less fossil fuel or eliminate them completely. Humans and wild animals face new challenges for survival. Fossil fuels – coal, oil and gas – are by far the largest contributor to global climate change, accounting for over 75 percent of global greenhouse gas emissions and nearly 90 per cent of all carbon dioxide emissions. And the reason why climate change is such a big problem is because of the impacts.
