Seria bueno mostrar en cada punto del planeta las cosas que debemos cambiar. Esta iniciativa podria crecer y servir de algo. Creo que hay mucho de desinformacion, pero el mayor problema es el desinteres. El hecho de la basura bajo de la alfombra, el no querer ver para no sentirse mal. Es un cambio de actitud lo que hace falta.

edo40ode says: buena iniciativa...jo pienso que la gente no se interesa a los problemas del planeta porquè ès mas facil que interessarse...la gente piensa al dinero e a su proprio piqueno mundito...però estos dibate son interessante..e quien sabe..al final podrà ser che el mundo se despierte en una nueva era... perdona mi espanol... ciao laz'andre says: Basura, Tubig at Langis (garbage, water and oil) An oil depot contributes to the pollution of the Pasig River in the Philippines. Many factories found at the river banks are conveniently dumping their wastes at the river... with little regulation from the government.

Esta fotografia la saque en una playa de Donostia a la que no voy habiatualmente. En la playa que frecuento hay muchos más desperdicios. Me resulta triste y repugnante encontrar las playas llenas de desperdicios de todo tipo, pero a su vez, me resulta cuirioso el tipo de cosas que pueda un@ llegar a encontrarse:

laz'andre says:

Pollution of the Pasig river is not only due to industrial wastes but to garbage left carelessly by residents living along the river.

Child labour has been increasing steadily in the towns and cities of developing countries as a result of the rapid global urbanisation.
Latin America is among the regions with a high percentage of their children from 10-14 years old in the work force, more than 5 million children or a total of near 10 percent of the age group.

Millions of children work in Latin America in the most intolerable forms of child labour with child labour still rising in the region. Be it labouring in fields from dawn till dusk, sorting out garbage on the immense rubbish tips of the big cities, firing bricks in blazing kilns, digging up stones in quarries or engaging in prostitution on the streets, all these children live and work in wretched conditions. - (ILO)

I have also been invited by Gabrielas - thank you.



The story behind this: we used to have a house in the little settlement of Vermont, 10km outside of Hermanus, in the Western Cape province of South Africa, well-known for its superb land-based whale-watching. We go back to stay with friends every year. Walking around the village, one is struck by the number of eco-friendly signs.

Top left, I enjoyed this one, which indicates that small animals have right-of-way when crossing the roads. The one related to poaching is a case of "closing the stable door after the horse has bolted" - this coast was extremely rich in Cape rock lobster and abalone (called perlemoen locally), but over the last ten years these have been aggressively and illegally stripped by poaching gangs, said to be funded and organized by Chinese Triad organizations, who ship the product to the Far East, where abalone fetches very high prices.

The final two signs refer to the fact that, despite a lot of home-building, the viallge still has pristine green belts in which many small animals and birds flourish.

Yet in fact, every time a wind farm is built there's always a huge discussion about spoiling the landscape, endangering birds & bats, etc. ... in this case though the turbines are enhancing the landscape in a positive way. And they're producing clean energy using the force of nature. Although I know many hundreds of wind turbines are needed to substitute just one coal- or oil-fired power plant I think they are the better option. I wish that one day all our energy would come from renewable resources - even if that means we have to sacrife some natural landscapes ... to save many others. And in Germany and many industrial nations there a few areas left that haven't been manipulated by man in one way or the other anyway. I guess it's just a matter of getting used to the sight and recognising the benefits. Posted 9 months ago. ( permalink | edit | delete )

I work as a Housekeeper in a massive warehouse` so I know all about recycling because I recycle plastic and cardboard all day long. Mother Nature NEEDS our HELP ! and yet NOTHING is getting done.

	oz_britta says: Most of the photos shown here are very sad ... showing the carelessness of man towards the environment providing us with life. If we destroy nature, we destroy ourselves - there is no way denying this. You don't have to join Green Peace or the like but everyone can do their own little bit for a better future by just picking up litter, planting a tree and encouraging others to do the same. The photo that made my heart hurt the most was the one showing children sorting out the rubbish ... I don't have a solution for this. It seems like it's always the people that have little anyway who suffer the most. A real downside of globalisation and capitalism but I guess it is impossible to turn back time although I'd wish that people would return to living in harmony with nature and stop exploiting it - and their fellow humans.

Here there are 2 pics related to conservation issues.
1) "Is there any Future for the water?", is inspired in the desertification narrative and shown a dry lagoon in a National Park in Venezuela. Read the full text in thew original post.




2)"Lemna" is about the political-ecological crisis generated by the Lemna boom in the Maracaibo Lake, Venezuela. Everyone has contributed to its contamination. The picture portraits the waste water pipe from a restaurant going directly into the lake. Paradoxically, the owners of the restaurant complains about the presence of the green soup in the lake and blame the goverment.
