Sounds like it has great potential, but I strongly recommend it be changed to the more PC "Human's Intrusion"... Women deserve their fair share of the "credit" for destroying the planet :)

| Oh, BTW, I didn't intend to make this a enviromentalist, tree-hugging event. But I have a feeling it will turn into one. :-) |

| I actually am somewhat of a tree-hugger myself and I think it's a great topic - but I'd further de-sensatize the idea by changing "intrusion" into a less emotional term - like "effect" or something. Let the pictures speak louder than the words - get people to look at them who would otherwise not - being turned off by the title. |

How about a title like "The nonjudgmental effects attributed to sentient carbon based life forms, be they intentional or otherwise"?
Kinda rolls right off the tongue :)

I consider myself to be a sentience-challenged carbon-based life form, and I resent that title :-) I can have just as much of an impact on nature as any fully sentient being. Probably more, now that I think it through.

Men/Women and Nature. Why the seperation? Are these two not tied. All that humankind creates is nothing more than the extension of nature, unless you believe that man can control its origin. Nature gives and nature takes with no concern for the very creatures that are created out its bosom. Since the planet earth is far from settled follow the upheavels from way back in history to the present disaster.
Amazing how mankind feels that we were given a paradise and if we take care of it, it will take care of us. We survive despite nature for when the winds roar, the sea swells and the earth eruptes we get shifted along with land. Consider this little observation: Venus rotates in the opposite direction. What else could have caused this than some untold major upheavel. Look back in history, before man even invented the engine and you will find quakes of upheavel proportions.
As much as humankind prides itself, our existence is not guaranteed. Man had the dream to control nature. Man has so many dreams but dreams worst when he considers himself independent from nature. |

I would prefer the inverse challenge. "Return to Nature" - Show how nature adapts to or recovers from the abuses of humankind.

Spaz,
that one would be HELL on those who live in the desert, like, say, Arizonans. It takes centuries for the landscape to recover there. On the other hand, anyone on the Yucatan Peninsula could have a field day with the topic :-)

I like the return to nature suggestion. It could even be more of a how nature has molded around our intrudence, to bring the two ideas together.

Here nature recovers by putting a new layer of lava over everything, works well. |

Not necessarily a fully recovered site, but one that is in transition from developed to natural. I used to drive around the Mojave Desert, around the Edwards AFB area. There were plenty of opportunities out there: abandoned mines/buildings, vehicles, ghost towns etc. I'm sure other desert areas have similar sites.
