Comic strips, published by Rewriting Extinction, are capturing the attention of young audiences and inspiring them to learn about the environment and take action. The organization, which highlights that achieving environmental literacy through opening inclusive, non-judgemental conversations is the way to go, has engaged over 100 million people on social media, completely organically. They even published an anthology called The Most Important Comic Book On Earth, filled with unique and inspiring environmental comics.

Comics made by some of the most famous comic creators online, like War and Peas, Dinos and Comics, Wawawiwacomics and Jenny Jinya tell stories that resonate with today's youth, evoke deep emotions and highlight environmental issues that motivate readers into taking action to protect our planet. 

Our comics were shared on Bored Panda before. You can check them out here.

Comics Empowering The New Generation: Encouraging Youth Engagement For A Sustainable Future

Made in collaboration with Wawawiwacomics.

Report

Rewriting Extinction's comic strips are unique in that they use humor, strong feelings and relatable characters to engage readers and convey important environmental messages. This, and the inclusion of adored celebrities such as Cara Delevingne, Robert Sheehan, Sir Ian McKellen helped the comics receive widespread acclaim, with immediate actions taken from the audience, such as signing petitions to help Greenpeace save marine life and protect the oceans (through an Instagram Live event with Clive Standen and a comic created by Wawawiwacomics that sent such a large amount of traffic to Greenpeace’s website that the site crashed.)

Why is the turtle giving the sawyer trouble? Clear cutting forest isn't good but the stigma that logging is inherently bad is false. I'm a logger and conservationists. Done properly logging can help correct the sins of our past.

This is just..... heartbreakingly sad, I'm crying. This whole article is, but in a good way also. I hope we as a species will manage someday to treat Nature as she deserves, as something we're all part, not masters of. And if not... I really pray, from the bottom of my heart, that nature will find a way to get rid of such a destructive species. It's really not fair for other, more worthy life forms, to suffer so much for the sheer idiocy of another.

I don't know why their talking to the cogs in the machine who don't really get a choice. It's the Big Wigs they should be talking to. Though unfortunately I don't think they'd care.

He didn't say to keep it in tact. He just asked him to look after it. In that, he succeeded. We failed.

The comics cover a range of environmental issues, from plastic pollution to the impact of climate change on wildlife, but also aim to educate new audiences about the wonders of Mother Nature: a series of comics made for BBC Earth helped readers learn about and focus more on the flora and fungi, habitants of forests that usually do not get as much attention.
