Documerica Returns with State of the Environment!
2011 May 2
40 years ago, Documerica captured a visual baseline of our environmental conditions in the United States. EPA was a new agency setting out to forever after share these with you to help note our collective progress. It’s your chance now to mark the change.
A global call is out for photos of our lives and our environment, plus a challenge to match Documerica scenes today. You can submit photos through 2013.

There are many campaigns that is running everywhere. Now it’s not that people don’t wanna join such programs. But it’s just the time they all start thinking about it.
It would be great if you could do the same thing with the audible environment. e.g. I bet that aircraft noise is now much worse than in the 1970′s. Here is a map of flight routes, note how you cannot even see the ground below the flight paths in many areas: http://openflights.org/demo/openflights-routedb-2048.png (from http://openflights.org/data.html). There are very few places on earth where you are not exposed to noise from human machines.
Here is a good starting place for more info: http://www.acousticecology.org/wildlandbiology.html
I think everything is louder now. The sheer number of added cars and jets is mind boggling. When you live or work near a busy road, the sound of passing cars becomes a new sort of really loud white noise.
There must be so many opportunities for photos, especially showing out of place wildlife and with architects making housing from shipping containers and old jets, there must be a big junkyard full of these things. Let’s get out those cameras and start snapping away!
