Environmental Cartoons I: Crisis? What Crisis?

I was searching for environmental cartoons and found the work of Canadian Peter Ommundsen, who studied wildlife biology and worked for 32 years in environmental science at Selkirk College in British Columbia.

I'm going to feature some more in coming posts, but this first one reminds me of the 1975 album cover by Supertramp, Crisis? What Crisis?

I picture this guy as the one on the other end of the phone in the above cartoon...
If you find any good enviro-cartoons, send them to me or post a link in the comments.

World Water Day is March 22

To mark the upcoming World Water Day, the ESO (that's the Environmental Student Organization, not the European Southern Observatory, who, by the way, have a fine repository of images from around the universe) is showing the documentary film One Water. The screening will be in CAS B12.

Given the lack of standards in the bottled water industry, and the environmental harm caused by both its excavation and the pollution from the water bottles, it doesn't take an Einstein to know we should be drinking tap water.

See the trailer for the film below.
