The video features vast landscapes, lifestyle, and satellite depictions of Earth to show the scale of the issues addressed.

It wasn’t until I had recently bought a new printer that I discovered paper could be a vehicle for this message. I incorporated 3D assets to allow greater flexibility in the animation.
