Art for Earth: Crowdsourcing art for nature

Olivia Wendel @oliviawendeltextiles

This year, in celebration of the 50th anniversary of Earth Day, eco-enthusiasts around the world found a new way to express their love for the planet. Between April 20 and 26, WWF invited our supporters to create artwork expressing the value of nature and its meaning in their lives, and then share their art on social media channels using the hashtag #ArtForEarth. In just one week, contributors ranging from New Yorker cartoonists to school-aged children shared 16,000 posts across Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter, showcasing their incredible creativity and the power of nature to connect us all. Here are just a few of our favorites from Instagram.
