We should form a Platform Of Growth, to collect and archive ideas and concepts about ecological and environmental art. A number of connected platforms dedicated to sustainability in art and nature with a strong local basis. The future of environmental art also reflects on ecological footprints and the action of current knowledge on the treatment of nature reacts to new ecological situations, such as global warming.But nowadays we are facing big ecological disasters, we are asking what nature is, or what it should be, and we want to change our little local contexts with our own art and nature in mind. Our small efforts towards a clean environment are not enough; we need group platforms with a global conceptual basis and a cooperative interest. These platforms should provide support with information on theories and contexts. They could work together on one common project, and finally we would have a collection of works of art and science, dedicated to sustainability, ecological issues and climate change. We should care for our own survival, because nature will not do. A local platform could curate and realise an Nature art project. We also have to update the strategies of production processes. We have to learn to wait until issues show themselves, and we have to be aware that we don’t only speak through our artwork but also with our decisions as to where we place something. As artists in nature, we have to work together within these ongoing processes of growth.
