If you don't find this joke funny, please come and take a look at the comments and/or add your own to this pin, pinterest.com/...

Fight AIDS Not People With AIDS — Portugal, 2009 Design: Sara Gama... This poster was originally created for the 2009 edition of the “Good 50 x 70” poster competition responding to the theme: “Being HIV-positive is not a criminal offense. Governments must focus on education and prevention of the disease rather than repression.” The designer employs her typographic message in the shape of the African continent where there is much criminalization of the illness.

Imagine it, setting off to cover something bigger than yourself. Not knowing what you will see, smell or hear. Imagine not fully grasping the life that other lead that walk on other parts of the earth. Photography is powerful. It not only changes the photographer, it changes the world.

GLOBAL WARMING: Ice chunks float in the Arctic Ocean as the sun sets near Barrow, Alaska. The Arctic is a thermostat against overheating and a barometer of change, but now its own protective ozone layer that keeps out damaging ultraviolet radiation has thinned to record levels, the U.N. weather agency has said.

from theliteracysite.com: "Hand-crafted by a fair trade women's cooperative in India. The cooperative is democratically structured, and provides the women that work there with childcare, annual medical check-ups, overtime pay, and retirement plans. Every link in the production chain is completely managed by the women, and many of the women use their involvement in the co-op as a springboard to becoming more socially and politically active in their communities. "
Designed by Global Girlfriend and produced in the Tamil Nadu region of India by a women's sewing cooperative that supports disadvantaged women. Made of soft, organic cotton and dyed using environmentally friendly dyes.
