This picture shows
a Canada goose covered in oil along the banks of the Delaware River.
The tanker, Athos I, spilled 30,000 gallons of crude oil into the Delaware
River at Philadelphia on Friday. Environmental sustainability?? I don’t
think so. ColinD. (http://news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&u=/afp/20041127/

I chose this picture
because Swimme and Berry state the importance of dogs as hunters, protectors,
and even a food source at times. The were one of the first animals to
be a domestic pet and it has been "man's best friend" since
early neolithic times. BryanS. (http://www.koertengallery.com/killen_-_great_hunting_dogs_3_labs.jpg) |

I chose this image because it shows
the "free" resources that humans enjoy, most of the time without
even considering what a good deal they are getting on these things.
The image shows how much we really do depend on nature, despite our
attempts to manufacture everything ourselves and isolate ourselves from
nature. BryanB. (http://www.cpawscalgary.org/education/free-resources/why-aspens-need-wolves.html) |
This image is one of how we evolved
from a single cell that was created by a lightning strike. Throughout
time we have gone from that cell to organisms in the sea to being able
to sustain life on land to where we are today as humans. ChristineK.

I thought that this was a really
good picture because of how it started at the bottom with trees, worked
up into the auroras, and then faded into the stars of space. I like
how all of these things were combined into a picture because it made
me think about how even though they are so far apart, they are still
all connected. AndrewP. |
This is an image of the Carnegie
Furnaces in Braddock PA. These are part of the beginning of industrialization.
You can see the amount of pollution that they are putting into the air.

This picture shows the destruction
and pollution the industrialization of the earth can bring. The urbanization
clouds out the environments of other animals which leads to an even
greater loss. AndrewH. (http://www.eh.net/encyclopedia/?article=meyer.industrialization) |
If you look at these pictures, these
are some of the things that we are doing to actually destroy the earth,
which more than ever seems to be our role that we have taken on. ScottW. |

The photo I selected is from the
link that I provided, it shows the devastation of that logging has had
on the beautiful, once untouched land in the Tongass National Forest.
The aerial view shows the grandeur of the area, and how it has been
marred by unslightly, unnatural and unnecessary logging. RhiananT. (http://www.endangeredforests.org/profiles/tongass.htm) |
This image shows the extraordinary uniqueness of the earth. It shows the great variety of living species that live on this planet ranging from the jellyfish of the ocean depths to the humans that inhabit all regions of the world. According to the web site there are approximately 8,400,000 species of plants, animals, and humans living on earth today. "There are 900,000 species living in the water. There are also 2,000,000 non-moving living entities (sthavara) such as trees and plants. There are also 1,100,000 species of insects and reptiles. There are 1,000,000 species of birds. As far as quadrupeds are concerned there are 3,000,000 varieties. There are 400,000 human species." It is a wonderfully complex world that we live in today. AlisonS.
