Day 24. Rohan Chakravarty: The Environmental Cartoonist Behind Green Humour.

Rohan Chakravarty is not your typical environmental activist. He wields a pen instead of a protest sign, and his cartoons speak volumes about the urgent need to protect our planet. As the creator of Green Humour, Rohan has carved out a unique space where art, humor, and environmentalism intersect. His work has inspired countless individuals to take action for the environment, making complex issues more accessible and engaging. 

As part of our “30 Days of Celebrating Youth: Explorers & Innovators” series, we honor Rohan Chakravarty for his innovative approach to environmental advocacy and his commitment to making a difference through creativity.

Turning Passion into Purpose
Rohan Chakravarty’s journey as an environmental cartoonist began with a deep love for nature. Born and raised in Nagpur, India, Rohan spent much of his childhood exploring the outdoors, developing a keen interest in wildlife and conservation. He initially pursued a career in dentistry, but his passion for the environment and his talent for drawing led him down a different path.

Realizing that he could use his artistic skills to raise awareness about environmental issues, Rohan launched Green Humour, a webcomic dedicated to environmental conservation. His cartoons cover a wide range of topics, from wildlife conservation and climate change to pollution and deforestation, all delivered with a sharp wit and a dose of humor.

The Power of Green Humour
Green Humour quickly gained popularity for its ability to communicate serious environmental messages in a lighthearted and engaging way. Rohan’s cartoons are not only visually appealing but also thought-provoking, often highlighting the absurdities of human behavior and the dire consequences of neglecting our planet.
Through his work, Rohan has tackled issues such as plastic pollution, the impact of climate change on wildlife, and the importance of sustainable living. His cartoons have been featured in numerous publications, and he has received several awards for his contributions to environmental awareness.

One of the unique aspects of Rohan’s work is his ability to make environmental issues relatable to a wide audience. His use of humor breaks down barriers, making complex topics more understandable and encouraging people to think critically about their actions. By blending art and advocacy, Rohan has created a powerful tool for change that resonates with people of all ages.

A Unitarian Universalist Perspective
