Environmental Sustainability
Some Pictures:
1.) The link below shows you an image of someone holding the earth in their hands. I think this is an excellent example that shows the importance of human intervention with the environment. It tells us that it is our responsibility to take care of it and coexist with it.
2.) The link below shows 4 separate pictures of people researching the environment. I believe that this is critical to discovering better methods and persuading legislature to enact laws to protect the environment.
3.) The link below shows an individual recylcling glass bottles. I think recycling is critical to maintaining the earths limited resources by getting the maximum use out of what would normally have been trash occupying space in a landfill.
