These Heartbreaking Posters Sum Up How We’re Destroying Our Planet & It’s As Scary As It Gets

We’ve all been hearing about climate change but most of us don’t quite know the full extent of it.

Global Population Speak Out, an organization that engages in environmental work, has come up with these postcards that capture the reality of climate change. Through some extremely hard-hitting images and captions, they’ve managed to convey that we need to do something for our world before it is too late.

Just simply going through these images will make you realize that saving the environment is the need of the hour:
