How many billions of dollars have oil corporations spent on greenwashing? In my own small way, I’m using parody to counter that, and associate their brands to climate change.

Gas station road maps are one of my favorite bits of ephemeral Americana. As a kid, I would often spend hours tracing out imagined road trips, or reviewing trips already taken.
So in a way, it’s both sad and satisfying to use these maps to show the ultimate effects of the use of fossil fuels.
