I personally find the theme, 'Man's Encroachment on the Natural World' to be a tired and exhausted theme from the 1970's. Not that the topic is unimportant by any means, and is probably more important than ever. As you're an 'eactivist' I can understand your desire to take photos of such. Depressing though, that scattered individual successes in the area of cleaning up the environment, animal protection, and the like, are overshadowed by increasing pollution on a worldwide scale, phony skewed measuring methods, corrupt and greedy politicians and businessmen, and dorky ideas like the CO2 bank and trading scheme.

I never said what kind. This was discussed when I first joined the list but you may not have noticed. Or you may not have been here. LOL. I am finding this rather fun. Personally, as with all PESOs I am just interested in whether a particular image works, or not. I feel I've been taking up too much bandwidth. So I will try not to post much more today. Is an image interesting or not? Too much head tripping can interfere with looking, me thinks.
