Art often has great influence on climate expact. Usually it is seen in a positive light. But art comes with it's wn cost and it's own share of carbon footprints.
Loved the way the article talked about how the art industry (specifically the rich people who travel overseas for art exhibitions + the shipping of artwork) is a minor yet important contributor to global emissions. It was more interesting to note the sustainability wave slowly approaching the art industry.
Perhaps another aspect that one needs to look at, in this context, is online art auctions and options like NFTs which get rid of a good chunk of the emission-releasing work while retaining the art industry's workflow.
