tipping point

Published: April 03, 2022 | Updated: August 16, 2023

A tipping point is when small changes become significant enough to cause a larger, more critical change that can be abrupt, irreversible, and lead to cascading effects.

There are nine (9) tipping points where a changing climate could push the earth system into abrupt and irreversible change:

  1. Greenland Ice Sheet disintegration (melting)
  2. Permafrost loss (melting)
  3. Disruption to ocean ecosystems (circulation change)
  4. Boreal Forest shift (biome change)
  5. Coral reef die-off (biome change)
  6. Indian monsoon shift (circulation change)
  7. West African monsoon shift (circulation change)
  8. Antarctic ice sheet disintegration (melting)
  9. Amazon forest die off with a shift towards becoming a savanna biome (biome change)

Nature is the original artist. Everything else is a response.

That's here. That's home. That's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives.

Carl Sagan, Pale Blue Dot, 1994

From 3.7 billion miles away, Earth is a pale blue dot.

Up close...

it's a tide,

a forest floor,

a field of spring flowers.

Earth Week Photo Journal
One week.
One white frame.
One collective exhale.

This upcoming Earth Week, Project White Frame is seeking artists, land stewards, and community members to document and celebrate what they love in their everyday Nature. The ask is simple: find a part of Nature you love — or something designed to protect it — and surround it with a white frame.

Somewhere along the way, Earth Day became a marketing tagline. A hashtag. A limited-edition product drop. This event is a small act of reclamation, designed to remember the why...

Nature is the art.
The white frame is a mark of unity and solidarity.
A border that says: this matters. Look here.
Remember this...
How to Participate
Find: a part of Nature you love or something designed to protect it.
Frame: surround it with a white frame. Get creative, a frame is anything that supports the subject.
