Inktober 2022 ran from October 1st to October 31st, 2022.
Instead of one drawing per day, as in past years, this year my plan is to post drawings on Oct 1st and 31st, and every third day in-between -- a total of 12 drawings.
I have created my own prompt list. Some of the prompts match those on the official Inktober prompt list, while the rest are my own. Here they are:
As in 2020 and 2021, this year’s drawings will have a climate and environmental protection theme. We are in a climate emergency as stressed in a report from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). To preserve a livable planet for future generations, it is incumbent upon humanity to take action to end carbon emissions and other forms of pollution. So each of these drawings will present a simple environmental protection message.
As ink is not my usual medium, all drawings will be simple subjects.
Planet
All life on our planet is at risk from climate breakdown. We need to act quickly to end greenhouse gas emissions and transition to renewable energy sources to avert extreme climate disaster.
Bat
We need to share the planet with all wildlife, which provide balance and stability to nature's processes.
Marine life provide essential balance to our global ecosystems and need to be protected to help maintain a healthy planet.
Respect all wildlife, essential to a healthy planet, and protect endangered species.
The Giant Ibis is classified, on the IUCN red list, as critically endangered. There are fewer than 200 adult individuals remaining.
National Farmers' Day USA, Oct 12
Don't forget the hard-working people who provide our food. Help protect their livelihood and the lives of everyone by taking bold climate action to reduce drought.
Respect and protect all wildlife, essential to a balanced environment and a healthy planet
"Armadillos can control pests, disperse seeds, and be effective sentinels of potential disease outbreaks or bioindicators of environmental contaminants." --Thiago F. Rodrigues, Aline M. B. Mantellatto, Mariella Superina, Adriano G. Chiarello, in a biological review from the Cambridge Philosophical Society.
The climate crisis and warming oceans are threatening all marine life, important to balanced ecosystems and a healthy planet. We need to take serious action to curb greenhouse gas emissions and slow global heating.
National Reptile Awareness Day, USA
Reptiles face extinction from logging, hunting, land conversion and climate change. An analysis of the state of the world's reptiles, published in Nature, showed that 21 percent of reptile species face extinction. The loss of reptiles could have a significant impact on ecosystems, with such effects as increases in pest insects. The article stated that biodiversity, including reptiles, underpins the ecosystem services that provide a healthy environment for people. We should respect and protect all wildlife for a balanced environment and a healthy planet.
The climate crisis is leading to increased drought, crop loss and hunger in some regions of the world. Wealthy nations are most responsible for the climate crisis, while the countries least responsible are impacted the most. Wealthy nations need to accept responsibility and take action to slow the advancement of climate breakdown.
Food is the essence of life. By cutting greenhouse gas emissions, we stem the climate crisis and reduce drought, crop loss and food insecurity.
Climate-induced sea-level rise is leading to flooding in low-lying coastal habitats. This rise is caused by expanding oceans due to temperature increases, and melting Arctic and Antarctic ice sheets and glaciers. Sea-level rise can also lead to higher storm surges and more dangerous tsunamis. We all need to do our part to cut greenhouse gas emissions and reduce global temperature rise.
The climate crisis is leading to increased drought, which puts farming and our food supplies at risk. It is important that we all accept changes to our lifestyles in order to cut carbon emissions and slow the effects of climate breakdown for the sake of current and future generations.
