This poster confronts a central paradox in climate communication. To raise awareness about climate change, we rely on tools that inevitably consume resources. Ink, paper, electricity, data, and computation all carry a footprint. The statement No waste of ink or AI does not claim purity or innocence. It acknowledges that there is no such thing as impact free communication. Even the act of speaking about the climate comes at a cost. Rather than denying this contradiction, the poster makes it visible. It asks whether the answer is to stop communicating altogether, or to communicate with greater awareness, restraint, and responsibility. By placing the message in a minimal visual form, the work reflects on its own existence. It reduces itself to what is necessary, while openly admitting that necessity is never neutral. Presented in connection with International Mother Earth Day on April 22, the poster invites reflection rather than reassurance. Not on whether communication has an impact, but on how consciously that impact is made.
