The Canary Project

Umatilla National Forest, Washington State, 2006  - Copyright: The Canary ProjectThe Canary Project (Sayler and Morris) have produced a series of awesome photographs depicting the effects of climate change and global warming on our planet. Some of these moving photos have been displayed in 12 foot advertisements on the side of buses in Denver as well as in an exhibition at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Denver.

Hopefully it will inspire us all to take some responsibility for positive change. Further exhibitions, billboards and a book are planned. More info here.
