New Adult Coloring Book Draws Attention to Climate Change's Effect on Sea Birds
Thursday, December 19, 2019
A portion of proceeds from Our Disappearing Sea Birds by well-known artist Lynn Matsuoka will go to the Audubon Society's Project Puffin
HAMPTONS, N.Y., Dec. 17, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- For most people, climate change is real and 16-year-old Greta Thunberg is deserving of being Time Magazine's Person of the Year. And while adults also want to do something about climate change, many individuals feel they are too insignificant to make a difference or don't know how to have an impact.
For them, internationally known artist Lynn Matsuoka offers a starting point: this holiday season, purchase copies of her new adult coloring book, Saving Our Seabirds, to give to loved ones on their holiday list so that they can learn more about why birds are the harbingers of worse things to come, appreciate their amazing qualities and, at the same time, contribute to the Audubon Society's Project Puffin to help reclaim the birds' habitats and keep them healthy.
"The book uses the vehicle of the birds being endangered to illustrate how and why climate change is coming down on all of us, the birds being the alarm bell," says Matsuoka. "And hopefully, through coloring the images of the birds, people will feel an emotional attachment to them, which will make the information on the birds and the messages in the book more meaningful."
In an interview, Matsuoka can talk about:
-- The adult coloring book trend and who is driving it (millennials or
boomers). What does the act of coloring do for people that makes it
popular with adults and children?
-- A recent report by the Audubon Society that says two-thirds of North
American birds could face extinction if climate change is not addressed
-- The important role birds play in insect control, plant pollination and
seed disbursement
-- Fascinating facts about such birds as puffins, blue-footed boobies, and
black-footed albatrosses. For example, did you know that puffins can
hold up to 60 tiny fish in their beaks at once and can spend more than
ten years with the same mate?
-- Ways ordinary people can help save the birds.
