There's been some controversy around Shepard Fairey of late (and by "of late," I mean "

Earth Hour campaign.What is Earth Hour, you ask? A campaign to raise awareness about climate change, in which thousands of people in hundreds of cities in dozens of countries agree to all turn their lights off at 8:30 p.m. local time, March 28th, in solidarity with the cause. Learn more
