New Illustration: Earth Corps

I have an illustration in the latest issue of The Utne Reader for an article by the magazine's Founder Eric Utne and Carol Bellamy on Earth Corps, an organization the authors are founding to act as a Global Peace Corps with members from around the world. The article can be found on the Earth Corps website here.

Volunteers would work to monitor and reverse global warming, clean up polluted rivers and toxic waste sites, teach basic computer skills and business practices to the recipients of micro-credit loans, provide information and medical care to people at risk of HIV-AIDS infection, and so forth.

They wanted an something showing a Peaceful Army or group of diverse people helping the Earth in some way. I tried a few different things.
