I found an amazing illustrated poster about Palestine made by Franz Kraus, “Visit Palestine” from 1936, and I tough myself : why not do some other ones, same style, but with some "actual and accurate" subjects : pollution, migration, war, etc.

Here is the result but the project is still on going. Wich city will be next?

I'm not judging any particular place on Earth, but I do have a question that I've always been baffled about. What does being poor have to do with the trash in the water.? Why can't all people recycle, get rid of garbage in appropriate manner and take care of their hygene. . In this country anyway.?

One reason I think Is that some people do not see them selves as part of their country. They can not get a fair share of the wealth they (may) produce, No political voice, No access to justice, No Voice against endemic corruption, So why bother

    The orang-outan should be shown burning because that's what happens, they are burned alive, you can see them run out of the forest with their fur on fire, sometimes holding their little one also burning alive.

    Seriously people they kill to eat the meat rubbish they hid behind the tradition card. This is nothing more than brutal murder and torture of innocent family pods swimming innocently by. Anyone who has witnessed the footage of the pilot whale killings and are not sickened by what they have seen are as sick as they are Children playing with unborn foetuses, calves fully formed thrown into garbage bins this is nothing more than criminal Children watching and taking part this is surely child abuse we protect our children from the horrors of the world not involve them The supermarkets are full they are not short of alternate food whT happens if there Re no grinds do they not eat Leave the whales alone they do not belong to the Faroes????

    Pilot Whales are members of the dolphin family, one of only four species (dolphin, apes, elephants, humans) who are self-aware and autonomous with highly complex family and social associations. Since science has differentiated these species from farm and domestic animals, much of the civilized world has stopped eating dolphins, much less killing them for sport. The Faroese argue they are feeding families and preserving tradition yet the meat is subsided rather than eaten and their use of the Danish navy in murdering dolphins dates this ‘tradition’ back no further than the motorized naval vessel. Clearly, these barbarians are there because they love to kill. Nothing more. Civilizations throughout time have abandoned sadistic, ritualistic traditions such as sacrificing virgins to sun gods in recognition of contemporary science, yet three countries refuse to join the 21st century and stop their sick medieval murder of dolphin: Japan, Norway and (with help from Denmark) the Faroe Isl

    Such a evil place. Whale slaughter is illegal in the EU, but the whaler from the Faroes kill thousands of those innocent helpless animals every year. Without any grace they slaughter even mothers and their calves. Many of the corpses rot in the sea. It is the pure lust to kill.

    so, you think that having desperate people trying to reach the shore of a safe land and country would harm your vacation? Or that this is something that the locals could of have avoided, like they had a choice? Or maybe you consider the refuges as being waste in the sea? That is so wrong from you

    Lina Zilyte

    9 years ago Created by potrace 1.15, written by Peter Selinger 2001-2017

    That's definitely not what the author meant. The poster series is reflecting the global problems through formerly (or still) popular vacation destinations - in this one it is not the refugees themselves being the global problem, but the situation that has forced them flee. To compare to others in the series: the orangutans are not guilty for dying out in Borneo and stray dogs are not guilty for starving in India. Hope i have made my point, cheers.
