A Time Lapse of Humanity’s Impact on Earth

Ever wonder what humanity’s impact on the planet looks like?

This time lapse traces from 1984 to 2020, and puts into perspective the damage human activity has caused to Earth over the last 34 years. It also serves as a stark reminder of what to expect if we don’t take climate action.

The choices we make have consequences on the world around us. We are living in a time where we’re changing the planet faster than ever before, and the decisions we make today will determine what the future entails. Together we can push to build back better, and focus on prioritizing planet over profit.

Given the urgency for action, we cannot wait for governments to pass new laws or for big corporations to make a move. Instead it’s up to everyday citizens and small businesses to take action. This sounds intimidating, but there’s power in numbers, and collectively we can create change.
