Unknown Hero (I)

Posted by Alfredo J. Martiz J. (Panama City, Panama) on 8 March 2007 in People & Portraits and Portfolio.

Humanity is growing in such a fast way, cities developing in an uncontrollable manner, the environmental problems are worsening and present measures against the degradation of our world are not supported by everyone. It is surprising to find that there are still people that besides all the problems of our times, still have hope for a better future and keep on fighting for the protection of the environment and survival of our world. Let’s learn from the unknown heroes.

I fully agree. As an environmental consultant I 'fight' the world one tiny step at a time and wish for more warriors.

DORIS from Panama, Panama

Joel, muy buen significado de esta foto. A veces el resto de los seres humanos no ven este gran trabajo que hacen los "heroes anónimos", trabajo que lo consideran insignificante; pero sin estos grandes individuos nuestro mundo estaría destruido. Besos, mama
