Save the Planet!  Protect the Planet!  Do something positive for the Planet!

Everything above can be seen as the general aspect of the enviromental awarness movement.  The above phrases are really simple, aren’t they?  Well, its even simpler.  The genreral meaning of the movement or better worded the essence is the idea of spreading informed information of the issues to all people anywhere and trying to build a soceity were there is a sustainable relationship between both ecosystems and humans.  I made it sound to complex, here in a few words, its getting people to not nesscaryaliy care but be informed and make better choices to build a positive relationship between man and everything else.

Everyone knows Al Gore is at the head of the environmental movement in our current times.  Yet he faces harsh comments from others for various “controversies”. 

Well, whether you like him or not.  He is informed on the environmental issues the planet faces now.  Yes he has made major mistakes in informing the public about issues, but he’s only human.  Also, at least he’s trying to make a difference.  So, in my eyes he’s human and is trying to do better things for the planet.  So, he works hard to inform himself on the issue and goes to many meetings to help tame the varyng issues. 

I feel, is a great example of a person who fufills the esscence of the movement.  Which in two words can be seen positive change.  

A reputable resource that has been trying to strive for positive change is the EPA (Environmental Protection Agency).  That isn’t close to being perfect in any way, but what it’s got going for it is the truth that it’s trying to do something.  While a majority of other people do nothing.     Dr. Bill Sanders, Director of EPA’s National Center for Environmental Research is a expert (that faces no controversies so far) that has become respected in his field.  Thus he’s in a high ranking.  He’s advocated not only just cleaning up the polluated areas of the world, but has strongly advocated the idea that people need to be taught prevention.  He believes strongly in the idea of spreading envrionmental awarness to everyone.  Its only fair since we a ll have a impact on the planet, not just certain people.

Recently he has advocated building green and researching ways to build more environmentally friendly and help build towards sustainable living.

Green leaves

light Blue skies

Yellow, red, orange flowers

scenic beauty such as mountains and rivers flowing endlessly into the blazing horizon

This is what people think of when they picture the word environment or words save the planet.

What do you think when you first glance at this picture?

Do you feel there’s a message behind this man holding a bare planet with its revealed roots?

Well, they say a picture is worth a 1000 words and I feel that a picture has different words when different people look at it, the one thing that all those words say is there is always a general message they all speak.

This one tells us about the spreading of the new age environmental movement that is occurring. The man clearly represents the few that have accepted the ideas of the environmental movement, and the plant represents the knowledge or the actual cause of why we are even doing this. Notice that the man faces completely forward towards you and is quite close in the actual picture. Couldn’t this mean he is passing the environmental movement towards you, and with his hands clearly pushing forward and upwards. He is “asking” you to accept this knowldege this “plant” and embrace the idea and help spread the movement to others.

There’s quite a lot said in those 1000 words of this picture. 

 This picture is a ideal example of the new modern “look” the environmental movement is implementing.  People are becoming more aware of the issue.  So the same clique pictures with Earth’s natural beauty, just don’t cut it anymore.  Now its time for change, it time for pictures to be simple yet as prfound as a sunset on a mountaintop. 

As profound as the picture above is.  Its just one of the few modern intakes in spreading environmental awaraness.  There are many other different ideas that are just as simple and tackling as the man passing the bare plant to the viewer.  This is all a piece of the picture concerning the new age movement.  Its got itself a stronger look, less sterotypical, and finally it has just been given a new audience.  Not just educated scientists or activists, it being targeted at a new audience and that very audience is you and everyother being of the human speices. 

No more green leaves                       or

                                                                                 blue skies

its                                        real peoplel and the bare naked issues that are being shown from now on.
