Inspired by Nature by Edward Burtynsky on Manufactured landscapes

In his 2008 TED talk, Edward Burtynsky, recipient of the 2005 TED Prize, presented his "Manufactured Landscapes." He wished his stunning photographs, which document humanity's impact on the world, would inspire millions to join a global conversation on sustainability.

Burtynsky's riveting slideshow vividly illustrates how industrial development alters Earth's natural landscape. Featuring scenes from mountains of tires to rivers of bright orange mining waste, his images are both beautiful and horrifying, prompting reflection on our environmental footprint.
