- Jonathan Lambert and Rebecca Ellis present a selection of Edward Burtynsky's images from The Anthropocene Project. The project includes over 50 images showing the impact of humans on the Earth, including a 30-acre garbage dump in Kenya, deforestation in Borneo and waterways damaged by oil siphoning in Nigeria.
