Sometimes it seems like the fear we have when it comes to our environment is all about the future. It is important to be reminded that the things we do to our planet affects us here and now as well. This is from World Press:
"Salton Sea in the Colorado Desert of Southern California is a former tourist destination that has turned into an environmental disaster. Born by accident 100 years ago when the Colorado River breached an irrigation canal, the lake soon became a popular resort. Yet with no outflow, and with agricultural runoff serving as its only inflow, the lake’s waters grew increasingly toxic. Though the resort towns were soon abandoned, the skeletons of these structures are still there; ghost towns encrusted in salt."
Isn't this scary and sad? Watch a short film here, notice how cleverly they use the old soundtrack with the new pictures.
