They take actions and spread awareness through various ways such as music, movies, and words. Regardless of what form they choose, it is significant that their action plays a role in leading the earth to a more positive path.

His picture shows the polluted river turned into a bright orange color, land left bare after trees has been cut off, and piles of trashes on the floor. His photographs leaves a great impact on the viewer with a sense of amusement of the color it holds and concerns about the actions we had taken to destruct earth.
