Environment in China
Chris Kuberski, who teaches in Chicago, recommended a link to China Hush: Stories of China, a blog written by a Chinese American. In an October 14 post, the blogger published some disturbing photos of pollution in China by Lu Guang (卢广), a freelancer photographer.Environmental degradation and the resulting human suffering are major problems in China and most developing countries (think about the Nigerian oil fields or the water supply in Mexico City). Politically, governments have to deal with limitations on their capacities, demands for economic growth, the health of the people, and the likely long-term consequences of the choices they make today. These photographs make the Chinese case come alive.
The unnamed blogger noted that October 14 was "the 30th annual awards ceremony of the W. Eugene Smith Memorial Fund took place at the Asia Society in New York City. Lu Guang (卢广) from People’s Republic of China won the $30,000 W. Eugene Smith Grant in Humanistic Photography for his documentary project “Pollution in China.”
