Resources Free Environment Canada Posters! Catch the irony of these 1950's block-cut style posters that highlight contemporary environmental issues, while presenting them in a style reminiscent of the art produced during the Industrial Revolution - a time when idealism and the philosophy of unlimited expansion proliferated, now proving anachronistic in light of current environmental issues. > http://www.on.ec.gc.ca/wildlife/docs/pdf/wetlandsposter04-e.pdf > http://www.on.ec.gc.ca/wildlife/docs/pdf/wetlandsposter05-e.pdf Spread the Word: 350 Parts Per Million! The most recent science tells us that unless we can reduce the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere to 350 parts per million, we will cause huge and irreversible damage to the earth.
