Interesting, great pictures. Yes, Virginia, there's a reason we had an environmental movement.

Interesting. I would hope that many of the practices shown in those photos no longer exist.

More than 100 photographers were hired not only to document specific issues, but to capture images showing how we interacted with the environment.
I don't need 100 photographers to show how we interact with the environment - we do so very badly.

I've seen these before and have actually used a few of them for work reasons, but it's always good to see them.
