This is my submission for the impact theme. You asked us to show what we are doing to save our environment. My response to you is nothing.

What I mean is that there are government programs that pay farmers to not farm thier land. They call this land CRP or native grasslands. It allows the land to rest and not be over-farmed.

Here in this picture is a farm that used to be planted with crop but has been turned back into CRP. The landowner has left the fence up where the crops used to be.

    Very, very nice compostion, Amanda! This even looks tri-dimensional. Stunnig, like Frédéric said. Made even more special by what you wrote in the introduction. I'm totally taken by it. A fave.
