This was a 1st... I put this up, & as I stepped away, two lovely women stepped up to take a picture. So I carefully tapped the person with the camera, and told them to feel free to take it, and showed them the QR code on the back. #leftart #monstreal #montrealart #streetart

HOLY SHIT DUDES fucking with the environment is now not just a sin (which Francis also said), it is classed as a direct fuck-you to God and a central tenet of the reasoning is the need to care for "our common home," i.e. you are morally obligated to think about the other people who also live here
