“End Pollution: Bomb the Pentagon”

$250.00

This poster was originally designed for the AIGA San Francisco environmental poster show “Designing/Living Within Limits.” The pollution in the title is both literal and metaphoric—the word “bomb” is hyperbolic.

That said, what degradations to our environment—and our democratic values—are acceptable in the name of national security?
