VisionPicture Earth is the first and leading not-for-profit organization dedicated to using art to empower the general public toward sustainable living. MissionPicture Earth uses art as a means of inspiring and teaching people to take personal responsibility for our world's future and to make better, more sustainable living choices.InspirationRecognizing the planet as the original work of art, Picture Earth works to help people see their ability to take responsibility for it, using art as a public education platform for sharing solutions and better personal choices for a more sustainable way of life. The medium through which "it all clicks," art becomes the point of inspiration (motivation) to catalyze commitment (decision) and inclination (mindfulness) toward more sustainable behavior (action). We know that there is a wide spectrum of greener living choices which Americans may incorporate at their own pace, once they have been inspired and can see what is possible. It is Picture Earth's belief that we can begin to change the way many Americans think about sustainability and in turn foster not just a more responsible global citizenship, but one that is owned by individuals who realize, through Picture Earth's programs, the very real impact they can marshal by making easy, personal choices to live a greener life. HistoryPicture Earth was originally founded by Sivan Schlecter and Chantal Buard in 2007, with the support of Emerge Studio, Sabrina Riddle, Leslie L. Smith and team of advisors, to help environmental artist Yann Arthus-Bertrand launch his call for sustainable living with the American public. In 2009, Picture Earth incorporated as a non-profit entity. Picture Earth is in the process of applying for 501(c)(3) tax-exempt status with the objective to serve the public good by launching programs that employ art to inspire a sensibility shift toward sustainable living.
