I found this picture online, and I found it downright disturbing. It shows Manhattan in 1609 on the left half and 2009 on the right half. Basically, it's human destruction of the environment staring you straight in the face.

I'd love to hear what people think about about it...
 
i dont care about any enviroment, and anywayz, if people dont build any buildings and just leave the grass there, what jobs can people cut? lawn mower job?

And that's from 1660. Like...pretty much everyone else, I don't find this disturbing. It's not as though that happened overnight. Those trees have been gone for hundreds of years, buildings have been built, torn down, and rebuilt there over the centuries. This is human accomplishment. There's a lot of forest out there still, and frontierism is becoming less and less accepted by the majority of people. Conservation efforts are taken seriously. There are a lot of things that humans do and are capable of that we should be ashamed of as a species. Manhattan is not among them.
 
And what is so disturbing about it, it's the growth of human civilization. It comes with some destruction, but it's impossible to do so without stepping on nature's toes, you want to build somewhere else?

Now, if you wanted to argue that this growth is unsustainable and we need to conserve in order to ensure the future growth of our species, then I might be willing to listen.
 
Oh, yes we or 'they' have had full colored ariel photography since the middle ages, artificial satellites beginning around the 15th century and have touched the very fabrics of the space-time-continum about a hundred years ago, our technological 'advantages' is only a small iota of what 'they' allow us to observe at a given time, dare I say it? Conspiracy!!!
 
it would be used with those "hot air balloons" those conspiracy theorists keep on saying indians had, I'm still trying to figure out how they had cameras, too.
