Re: March 2005 WWP topic: ecology

I do support the idea. The place where I live is one of the greenest places in Europe and rich with the water resources... but...I have just heard today that 85% of the water resources here are more or less polluted... I am very sad about that. I live in the centre of the Capital and it is a privilege to me that I can still drink not polluted water directly from a tap... but how long?

I'm hoping there is another WWP on the horizon in March.
I'm still waiting to hear some reviews of our wonderful Sanctuary project. The Press
Release gave me a taste of the diversity, views of quality and nature of what we did.
I'm thinking of doing my own review - equal but different. It would be nice to get
some world wide recognition of the value.
In any case, today this announcement sparked my interest:
"A top New Zealand researcher is using a prestigious award ceremony in Christchurch
to warn that humans face extinction by the end of the century."
I began to wonder if our world wide vision could be focused on a topic like "Ecology -
is our world at risk?". I could imagine people finding instances of problems, solutions,
and let's make hay while the sun shines. I would personally welcome the challenge to
find a way to photograph local ecological choices, whether good, bad, or both. At
least it would be a relevant topic and might get interest in world wide media.
To me, the fact that we are cooperating in spite of local differences makes us special.
