CAKE ARTISTS INSPIRING CHANGE IN THE WORLD
On Earth Day, 21st April 2016, digital art gallery ‘Acts of Green’ was
released to the world. A collaboration headed by the United Nations of
Sugar Art, ‘Acts of Green’ aimed to bring awareness to issues facing our
planet such as global warming, saving endangered species, and the
degradation of our forests.
Award-winning sugar and pastry artists donated their time, talent and
materials to create edible showpieces in the hope of raising awareness,
as well as donations for the National Geographic Society.
“By supporting National Geographic Society, we are giving to an
organisation that has made a tangible effort to not only help reverse the
damage that has been done to the planet and its people through its
Conservation Trust, but educate future generations of the importance of
its preservation through its Young Explorers Programs and Expedition
Grants,” said UNSA founder Zawadi Parizek.
