[BITList] : What have we done to our planet?

[FA]

      27 images that prove that we are in danger.

    These pictures say more than a thousand words.


    *1. The view over the overdeveloped metropolis of Mexico City (with
    more than 20 million inhabitants).*


    *2. An elephant killed by poachers left to rot.*


    *3. The rain forest in flames - goats used to graze here.*


    *4. Trails of excessive air traffic over London.*

    *5. A massive truck delivers a load of oil sands for processing. Oil
    sand is considered the energy source of the future.*


      6. A simple herd farmer cannot withstand the stink of the Yellow
      River in Inner Mongolia.



    *7. A waste incineration plant and its surroundings in Bangladesh*


    *8. A fire storm plows through Colorado - increased incidences of
    wild fires is a result of climate change.*


    *9. The scars left behind from the mining of oil sands in the
    Canadian province of Alberta.*


    *10. A nighttime spectacle in downtown Los Angeles - the energy
    demand is unfathomable.*



    *11. In Oregon, this thousand year old forest fell victim to the
    Chainsaw for a new dam. *



    *12. The area around Almeria in Spain is littered with greenhouses
    as far as the eye can see -*

    *simply for a richly filled dinner table.*



    *13. Poachers pose proudly with the coat of a Siberian tiger.*



    *14. The Mir Mine in Russia, the largest diamond mine in the world.*

    *15. A dead albatross shows what happens when we litter. A living
    dumpster.*



    *16. And yet another megatropolis - a bird’s eye view of New Delhi
    (over 22 million inhabitants).*



    *17. Paradise almost lost: the Maldives, a popular vacation spot
    that is threatened by rising sea levels.*



    *18. The beginning of Black Friday at an electronics store in Boise,
    Idaho.*



    *19. Tons (literally) of broken electronics end up in developing
    countries and are stripped for*

    *precious metals by using deadly substances.*



    *20. The blunder of the Brazilian rain forest is being repeated here
    in Canada.*



    *21. A landfill for worn-out tires in the desert of Nevada.*



    *22. While the entire world watched the events of Fukushima, a
    massive heat and power station was burning just a few miles away.*

    *All attempts to extinguish it were fruitless.*



    *23. This polar bear starved to death in Svalvard, Norway.
    Disappearing ice caps are robbing polar bears of*

    *both their living space and food.*



    *24. To the last drop: an oilfield in California and its merciless
    overexploitation by humans.*



    *25. A massive waterfall from melting pack ice. These masses are the
    only melt water on earth and the undeniable proof*

    *of how swiftly climate change is advancing.*


    *26. A lignite power plant contaminates the air with its emissions.*



    *27. The Indonesian surfer Dede Surinaya rides a wave of filth and
    trash (Java, Indonesia).*



    */“When the Last Tree Is Cut Down, the Last Fish Eaten,/*

    */and the Last Stream Poisoned,/*

    */You Will Realize That You Cannot Eat Money.”/*


    *This prophecy is becoming a more and more brutal reality.*

    *But, even today, not every person is aware of the horrible effects*

    *our lifestyles have on nature.*

    *So share these evocative damming pictures with everyone.*
