Climate Hero: Jill Pelto
Reflection
Jill Pelto is a great artist and environmentalist. She is good at incorporating data into her painting to show the changes and impacts of the environment. In this work, I want to express the importance of protecting the environment. In my piece, Jill Pelto is painting an image of global warming: a forest fire with thick smoke above and a blue striped part representing a tsunami. It is necessary to tell people that as species at the top of the food chain, the earth should be protected by us, and not destroyed. In addition to using this work to promote environmental protection, I will also do some small things such as saving electricity and water. The efforts of climate heroes make me feel like the planet is getting better because of them.
