Autodesk's response

After a couple of visits at the mine to shoot these images, I was devastated to realize that we allow such destruction to continue. When I discovered that Autodesk is supporting RWE, the coal extraction and the expansion of the mine, I contacted the CEO on twitter. He denied responsibility.His misunderstanding of the climate emergency and behavior blew my mind.
