About these Images
Environment is both what we inherit and what we manage to create. Throughout time humans have sought to modify their environment for short or medium term gain. Large areas of forest have been cleared to create fields in which food can be grown. Then, a number of years later, rural fields become urban fields, with neat rows of houses where the crops once grew, and large box-like industrial and retail constructions where the animals once grazed. Meanwhile people often suffer the consequences of their interference with what had evolved naturally. Their houses flood as concrete and tarmac replace soil, causing problems with run off, and their lungs strain as more polluted air is inhaled. In parts of the world the speed of negative human induced environmental change is a cause for serious concern, and many thinking people point to climate change, different weather patterns, habitat loss and resource depletion as the dangerous consequences of an inappropriate interaction between people and their environment.
