Comic strips, published by Rewriting Extinction, are capturing the attention of young audiences and inspiring them to learn about the environment and take action. The organization, which highlights that achieving environmental literacy through opening inclusive, non-judgemental conversations is the way to go, has engaged over 100 million people on social media, completely organically.

Rewriting Extinction's comic strips are unique in that they use humor, strong feelings and relatable characters to engage readers and convey important environmental messages. This, and the inclusion of adored celebrities such as Cara Delevingne, Robert Sheehan, Sir Ian McKellen helped the comics receive widespread acclaim, with immediate actions taken from the audience, such as signing petitions to help Greenpeace save marine life and protect the oceans (through an Instagram Live event with Clive Standen and a comic created by Wawawiwacomics that sent such a large amount of traffic to Greenpeace’s website that the site crashed.)

The comics cover a range of environmental issues, from plastic pollution to the impact of climate change on wildlife, but also aim to educate new audiences about the wonders of Mother Nature: a series of comics made for BBC Earth helped readers learn about and focus more on the flora and fungi, habitants of forests that usually do not get as much attention.

Hydrogen is NOT an energy SOURCE. It is merely energy storage and transport medium, like a battery or power outlet in your home. When people finally learn 🤦♀️
Yeah, except hydrogen is not an energy source at all... It does not exist in nature, it must be synthesized. It stores the energy necessary for its synthesis, it doesn't produce any. Think of it as a kind of battery. This comic strip is irrelevant.
You should add "on earth" to your strip. We have whole planets, and a star, who's hidrogen together outmasses everything else in the system by far (unless the invisible black hole theory is true).

Worth reminding that hydrogen is not a SOURCE of energy, but a way to store and/or transport energy. So it is only as clean as the process used to generate it. Hydrogen made through hydrolysis using green electricity? (Wind, nuclear, etc) Clean. Hydrogen made by burning s**t or chemically from methane? Not clean.
In the long run a hydrogen economy will dry out the earth. Hydrogen is the lightest element, when it escapes it goes to the upper atmosphere where it is blown away by solar wind, same problem happens with helium even though it's heavier. So separating water for hydrogen will be a one way reaction for any hydrogen that escapes so the earth will permanently lose that water. Also hydrogen being small means it leaks easy from containers and systems. Average people not understanding the problem will use hydrogen as a cheap way to fill balloons adding to the loss problem.

Am I alone in thinking it'll be better if the human race is gone to give the planet a better chance? We've had a good run.
Not all humans necessarily. There are plenty of people that care about the environment and the critters all around us. It's only like...the top 8 biggest companies that are causing 85% of the world's pollution I think? Sure, consumers don't help, but if those companies aren't there, there's nothing to pollute with.

The only problem I have with these kinds of comics is that not 'ALL' of humanity is corroding the planet. The real problem is the rich corporations that are polluting the earth and causing mass deforestation. The civilians aren't to blame.
Lets say I pick up trash on the beach. What do I do with it? I can't throw it away again, so what do I do? Edit: I'm stupid, I suppose I could throw it away, the reason it would be there is because of litter
These were not inspiring. These were devastating. Literally and figuratively. 🥺
These were absolutely emotionally destructive. Shame feeling bad doesn't help...
No, it’s happened to me before on other posts. It’s because of bad internet, usually eating a few minutes and reloading it fixes it right up

I know that the focus was about raising awareness, but I really enjoyed seeing all my favorite bp comic artists team up
In wish people would at least try to do more. 😣 My friends tell me there's nothing left but I believe there's still hope
Please look at these comics and not only think they are funny, think more about what we do to the earth and how we should stop it.
Well, if people really cared they wouldn't be drawing fantasies, they would be doing the real hard work no one does. Cute drawing is no saving anything... Please...
