Graffiti and other forms of street art reveal so much about the surrounding culture and current times. City walls provide a blank canvass for artists and rebels to display a number of messages, some of which tell the uncomfortable truth about the state of our planet and where it is headed.

Powerful street art can inspire change, culturally, politically and beyond. When you see a particular piece of stunning art it hits you deep in the core, possibly even influencing you to make real life changes.

We can’t forget about the most important things in life, starting with the incredible planet we call home. The following list represents some of the most powerful examples of street art from all over the world; each one campaigning for the good of all things natural, including mankind. Remember, without Mother Nature we will cease to exist.
