Global warming isn't the only thing to worry about. Overpopulation, pollution, poaching and mining are just a few of mankind's other harms that are leaving the Earth scorched and ruined.
However, the devastating effects of the digital age, demanding food production and melting glaciers are something most people don't see every day.
In order to raise awareness of the issues threatening life as we know it on this planet, the Foundation for Deep Ecology and Population Media Center have released a collection of sobering pictures, showing the widespread destruction of land, skies and seas.

The World is Really Coming to an End!!
Damn!! Why Now, I never Become Billionaire Na


World Never End Oh!!I must Enjoy Life as A Billionaire!!hehehehe

Wow


Can this ride to the front page please.



Can we also have some pics of oil pollution in the Naija delta. In some part of the area you can hardly differentite between night and day because of constant gas flaring. In some places when you dig the ground with a hoe you see oil coming out. You can't even fish in the waters.



In parts of Zamfara and northern states where gold is mind, there is poisoning of water sources which has been killing people but the government always tries to keep it under wraps.



As Nigeria looks away from oil to solid minerals we must ensure that sustainability of the environment and the people is established.

Mod fp

Man will destroy the world themselves! Not a 2000 year old fictional clown that doesn't know the meaning of "Soon".

Well our rising population demands we do all these, you can't stop it. Despite all these the earth will keep on rotating for thousands or possibly millions of years.

High population equals Rise in demands, Rise in demand equals rise in supply, Rise in supply equals to those funny pictures you see up there.
