Pumped from his pre-pandemic skate from Salt Lake City to Las Vegas, Brooklyn-based climate activist, performance artist, and author Laughlin Artz is skateboarding the Sunshine State to bring some sunlight to the climate crisis. The “World On Wheels Tour 2023” is presented by 2030 or Bust, empowering humanity to end the climate crisis.

2030 or Bust has declared 2023 The Year of the Skater, and all over the world, skaters will be holding skate/climate “activations” during World On Wheels Weekend May 27-29.

We are on track for a catastrophic future. If not only our actions, but our consciousness doesn’t dramatically alter in the very near future, it will be too late to alter our course.

Laughlin is skating to spread that awareness, to wake people from the trance that the power to end the crisis lies with the government, scientists, the UN or some other institution, and to rally the world around this decade as our make-it-or-break-it window to bridge the critical 2030 emissions gap. This is our last window, and when it closes it won’t reopen.
