Comics about the environment
A comic about caring for the environment works best when it shows a specific problem (trash, water, trees) and what a character does to change it.

- 1Someone throws a plastic bottle on the street. CLUNK!
- 2The rain carries the bottle down the storm drain.
- 3Big panel: the bottle reaches the river, surrounded by trash and sad fish.

- 5A girl on the beach picks up the bottle before the turtle can eat it.
- 6She drops it in a recycling bin: the bottle smiles.
Tips
- Giving an object (a bottle, a tree) a voice or a face makes the story easier to follow.
- Show the before and after so the change is visible.
- End with an action the reader can take in real life.

Pick a specific problem (trash, water, trees, pollution), create a character who tackles it and end with a solution readers can copy.
Recycling, saving water, air pollution, deforestation, endangered animals, climate change and saving energy.
With 6 panels you can show the problem, its consequences and the solution. For a short strip with a direct message, 4 are enough.
