We've been talking about Climate Change in Geography class in preparation for our discussion about our global food system and agriculture in general. While doing some other research on this topic, I came across this site with some striking photographs and quotes about the human influence on the Earth's natural resources and our new "landscapes" that have emerged with energy use, deforestation, agricultural patterns and resource development. There's some photos representing some of the issues we talked about during our Resources unit as well. It's called overpopulation, overconsumption - in pictures and it's worth taking a look.
"Water and air, the two essential fluids on which all life depends, have become global garbage cans." Jacques-Yves Cousteau
