Each of us impacts the natural environment--the non-living and living parts. We seldom see some of these in a scale large enough to understand their extent.
Some of them are shown in photographs from NPR's Goats & Soda from The Anthropocene Project. Walt Kelly, best known for the comic strip Pogo gave a precise, 9 word definition for our activities on the planet, coined for an anti-pollution Earth Day poster in 1970": We Have Met The Enemy and He Is Us.
The photographs implicate all of us -- in how we view the environment and the result. What huge marks we have made and leave on the face of the planet.
Haunting and breathtaking.
