Trashing our Beautiful World
Whenever I see pictures like this, I wonder what are thinking? We have been given a beautiful home world- so small and fragile- and we spend all of our time adding more and more trash (that will outlive all of us) and wiping out all of the other species with which we share this tiny planet.
It seems that the predictions of the end of the world will be wrong. We will simply suffocate under our piles of rubbish.
Anybody know where this is? I searched the article (from where these photos were taken) and could not find any location. I don't suppose it matters. It is the same planet.

Between Midnight and Dawn
Between midnight and dawn, I often have a nightmare vision of a future world in which there are billions of people, all numbered and registered, with not a gleam of genius anywhere, not an original mind, or a rich personality on the whole packed globe.
