It make me / feel good. My psy- / chic health is more / important than air / quality.: Animals that / attack humans / or human proper- / ty have no place in / our national parks or / ranch lands. Let's put / them in zoos or stuff them.: I know it's wasteful / to use disposable / diapers but I just / don't give a shit.: I love the privacy and con- / venience of my car and won't / give it up. Besides, how could I / shave or put on makeup while / riding mass transit?: I like to use plastic, especially / for making art about the / environment. After all, art is / eternal, and so is plastic. / A PUBLIC SERVICE MESSAGE FROM Guerrilla Girls 532 LaGUARDIA PLACE, #237. NY, NY 10012
