Audio Slideshow: Water's Edge
Diane Cook and Len Jenshel are used to going where few people have gone before, photographing everything from glaciers to volcanic hot spots. But for this project, the husband-and-wife team stayed local, photographing the city where they live in a way that few have ever seen it. Hear them discuss their stunning images of the New York City waterfront. Read author Robert Sullivan's essay about their photos from the Spring 2010 issue of OnEarth.
Let's consider for a moment that many hundreds of millions of poor people are going hungry today and at the same time that a tiny minority of a few million foolhardy, arrogant and avaricious people among us are recklessly engaged in conspicuous consumption, excessive hoarding and wanton pollution activities which lead to natural resource dissipation, environmental degradation and climate destabilization as well as threaten to ruin Earth as fit place for habitation by children everywhere.
It appears that we are presented here with two problems: addressing the needs of hungry poor people and the looming ecological wreckage that could result from unbridled greediness of the rich and powerful.
How can we simultaneously overcome both of these human-induced global challenges?
Any thoughts? Plans of action?
Your exactly right Mr. Salmony;
The video/photo presentation of Diane Cook and Mr. Jenshel's work has the clear definition of the crisis of corporate abandonment, worldwide, that has been allowed to persist. This generation, however, does not have the luxury of previous laws allowing, as an example, plans without wetlands mitigation, environmental use laws, retirement of facilities, and eco-restoration.
Your comment also requested a plan to deal with these kinds of issues. In response to your request, if you'll be kind enough, you may visit http://ishopbuz.com and read the "About Us" page, as a non-commercial reference to those individuals who care deeply about how we're going to feed and supply this country, at least, with long-term solutions. I'm not sure how to answer your request without going on several hundred more pages. I hope this will save you some time.
Thank you, Mr. Salmony.
This was quite interesting and sad in some ways especially seeing a remnant of Coney Island. Thanks for putting this together.
