Art and literature have become increasingly popular tools for promoting environmental activism. In recent years, advancements in technology have opened up new avenues for artists and writers to create and distribute their work, providing unique opportunities for creating awareness and driving change.
One example of the use of art in environmental activism is the work of Olafur Eliasson, a Danish-Icelandic artist who has created several large-scale installations addressing environmental issues. In 2018, Eliasson created "Ice Watch," a project that featured twelve large ice blocks from Greenland arranged in a clock formation in front of the Pantheon in Paris. The installation was intended to highlight the impact of climate change on the Arctic and raise awareness about the need for action. By using technology to document and share his work, Eliasson was able to reach a global audience, amplifying the message of his installation. Similarly, the use of technology in literature has created new opportunities for environmental activism. Environmental non-fiction and fiction works are increasingly available in electronic formats, allowing for easy distribution and accessibility. In addition, advancements in social media have enabled authors to build online communities and engage with their readers in meaningful ways, driving conversations and actions around environmental issues. The intersection of art, literature, and technology has also created new opportunities for collaboration and innovation. For example, the use of virtual reality and augmented reality in art installations can create immersive experiences that engage viewers in environmental issues in new and powerful ways. Collaborations between artists, writers, and scientists can also drive innovative solutions to environmental challenges, leveraging the unique perspectives and expertise of each field. By leveraging advancements in technology, artists and writers can create and distribute their work in new and exciting ways, engaging audiences on a global scale. The intersection of art, literature, and technology provides new opportunities for collaboration and innovation, driving progress towards a more sustainable future.

All art should use environment-friendly materials to create even more of an impact. The Trash to Cash Challenge is a good example of what young people could work on to exemplify this.
