The health of people is intrinsically linked to the health of the earth. These images are two in a series by Lu Guang, a freelance photographer from the Peoples Republic of China. His work here examines the relationship of villagers in China with the industries that often employ and sicken them.

We are challenged to find a more sobering portrait of the ill health of our earth than the air, water and ground pollution depicted these provinces.
I would like to see a ban on these industries and the products they produce. When will there by a dialogue in the U.S.? We can effect this degradation of our fellow humans and our home, the earth, by mandating certain manufacturing standards on products shipped and sold here, can we not?
And yet, we are the ones who are told to reduce pollution while countries like China are left to their own devices. Seems like a lack of justice somewhere in the system.
