I suppose most of it'll biodegrade eventually.
Luminance HDR, Reinhard05 operator (and a lot of darktable, digiKam and Gimp into the bargain).
It is winter in the U.A.E. people are out in the desert and mountains and leaving so much waste.
So this was our 3rd Clean-up action. We know we won't be able to clean all places, but we want people to realize what they are doing to the planet.
It is truly a disgrace what people leave behind (for others to clean up? )! Unfortunately also companies either dumping their waste or just leaving materials behind wherever they are working.
Thank you very much to everyone who participated
We even made it to the newspapers:

Chicago has this great public art exhibit going right now called Cool Globes: Hot Ideas for a Cooler Planet. Artists from around the world participated in creating more than 120 of these globes (all roughly the same size and scale) to promote environmental awareness. I wish I'd have been smart enough to write down the artists and titles of these to give them appropriate credit, but I wasn't (it was 90 degrees and very, very, very muggy outside...my brain wasn't workin'!). These are a few of my favorite of the globes. Each one is presented and described on individual plaques around the base of each...these plaques not only list the idea behind each piece and the artist, but also tips to get yourself involved in cooling our planet. It's a great exhibit...if you're in the Chicago area any time soon, you should really check it out!!

Bees are at danger. Their existance is at stake! And the radiation from the mobile phones has been identified as one of the major reasons. See this video and get more information about it...It can't be denied that even colony collapse disorder (CCD) is at times caused due to these raditions.

'Australia Pumping Empty' film and forum evening held in the Maleny Community Centre in Queensland, Australia. The event was organised by Sustainable Maleny to raise awareness of environmental and sustaibility issues. Noosa Mayor Bob Abbot was a key speaker.
I did some facepainting at the launch of the Global Work Action 10/10/10 Malaysia (9 - 11.30pm; Sunday, 11 July 2010; at field in front of Amcorp Mall). The theme was ONE WORLD, ONE GOAL. It was held in conjunction with the finals of the World Cup 2010, which Spain won.
This young girl was my first patron and she was very friendly. Most of the painting I did were the flags of Spain and The Netherlands. It was quite an experience. The organisers were Waterfall Survivors and Tourism Malaysia.
Global Work Action 10/10/10 raises awareness about Climate Change and mobilises people to do something about it.

Bristol is currently hosting the WEEE Man, an environmental awareness campaign that features a sculpture made entirely of the junk discarded by the average UK consumer during his or her lifetime.
Suffolk County Legislator Kara Hahn joined with Citizens Campaign for the Environment, Atlantic Marine Conservation Society, New York States Parks Department, Northport High School Students and Teachers, and other stakeholders at Sunken Meadow State Park for a beach clean-up and sculpture unveiling. Debris collected during the clean-up was deposited into the newly unveiled metal turtle sculpture aptly named “Shelley the Turtle”.
Shelley the Turtle, a beautiful 3D art installation, is intended to serve as a teaching tool and a permanent place to dispose of marine debris. This is part of a far reaching campaign to reduce plastic pollution in Long Island Sound and protect wildlife.

Americans can help save energy by using water more efficiently, since water treatment takes up the largest portion of municipal electricity. Quick showers and full dishwasher loads can save water, as can fixing leaky faucets. Homeowners can conserve water by using low-flow faucets, toilets, and showerheads, and by allowing rainfall to bypass sewers and filter into the ground with rain gardens, rooftop gardens, and permeable driveways.
Ginny Sykes sought to emphasize the importance of water conservation in reversing global warming. The globe symbolizes water temperatures with variously colored mosaic tiles, darker being cooler, lighter being warmer. Arrows signify wind currents, and faucets represent humanity's ability to regulate their water consumption. The warming of the globe is shown by a fiery, dangerous element creeping up from the Antarctic.
This is the same twig as in my photograph from yesterday, except that I couldn't find it at first: it's no longer hovering above the road and verge, but some blighter's bent and snapped the whole branch wedging it into the rest of the tree.
At least the squiggles only take what they need.
