Don't Mess with Mother Nature

If you ever get a chance to visit Mono Lake in California, go. It's an eerie landscape and yet it's beautiful, too. Unfortunately, the very things that make it beautiful (and eerie) exist because the lake is dying. And we have no one but ourselves to blame. Mankind killed (is killing) this lake in one of those all too often incidents where an attempt to do a good thing backfires (at least in some ways).
