A last ode to World Water Day 2012

Another photo to commemorate World Water Day 2012: a stray dog & herons in the trash-littered River Brahmaputra in Gauhati, India. Lest it be thought India too broke to organize waste management, it has 55 billionaires with a combined worth of over $250 billion. The scale of their greed is incompatible with human & environmental well-being.   (Photo by Anupam Nath/AP)
