Specially priced editions of Robert Rauschenberg's prints on environmental issues, created at the request of Ted Kheel, are now available for sale. The proceeds will benefit the Nurture Nature Foundation. The prints include Last Turn, Your Turn; Choices & Responsibilities; Clan Destiny and Burroughs Dream.

It was in 1972 that Rauschenberg created the Burroughs Dream as a commentary on the Highway Trust Fund. Rauschenberg's commentary, contained in the words, "They did not fully understand the technique. In a very short time they nearly wrecked the planet," trenchantly describes the impact of the Fund. It led to the decline of rail mass transportation as it encouraged the flight of well-to-do citizens from cities to suburbs and the expansion of minority populations within the cities.

In 1992, Rauschenberg created Last Turn, Your Turn when Kheel launched the Earth Pledge Foundation to promote the UN Summit in Rio de Janeiro and then proceeded with Choices & Responsibilities for the UN World Population Conference in 1994 and Clan Destiny for the UN Conference on Human Settlements in 1996.
