Sustaining Life?

There has been a lot of discussion about sustaining valuable resources, sacrificing comfort for mitigating ecological issues, pontificating at great length about the harmful effects of bottled water and wanton disposal of non-recyclable goods, and ad nauseum. But for all of our starry-eyed altruism, for what purpose? I have been troubled by the lack of organisms being brought into discussion; one of the main reasons I try to be environmentally conscious is for not only the longevity of the human species (although I doubt global warming is going to result in our ultimate demise, ahem nuclear annihilation seems to be the most likely outcome) but organic life as a whole! What about the pygmy rabbit population in Washington state? The polar bear who is struggling to survive because of the increasing gaps between the ice floes and the primates whose habitats are being destroyed? Where is the concern for the newts, the small frogs, and "hellbenders" in Kentucky streams that are so fragile and pertinent to the life-sustaining issues at hand? Pictured here is a montage, assemblage mixed media artwork I created that doesn't leave much room for obtuse interpretation, i.e. figurative representative subject matters signify the contentious environmental problems at hand. Stop being so selfish.
