The Principles of Sustainability in Contemporary Art

"The environmental concept of ecological citizenship, correspondingly, is based on the need for human beings to acknowledge their obligations towards other members of the biotic community and to expand the notion of social rights to include the right to quality of life. Many artists who engage with the contemporary notion of sustainability share an understanding for ecological equality and exercise care before embarking on any project likely to have adverse effects on the eco systems they inhabit."
