Supersized Earth
 

Anyone watched this?

http://www.abc.net.au/tv/programs/supersized-earth/

It's about how our human constructions are changing the face of the Earth...

One of the segment talked about Greenhouses in Almeria, south of Spain, where they have built 26,000 hectares of Greenhouse on desert lands in the last 30 years to grow crops, enough to supply half of Europe!

If only we can do this on our Australian desert! Wouldn't it give a lot more people job and export power? Though, the way these greenhouses run in Almeria seems to be fairly inhuman and environmentally damaging according to that article..

But just how you can see all of them from Google Earth is fascinating!

Maybe they can send some to Africa so people can stop telling me to think of them.

LOL

According to the article, most people that work there are legal and illegal immigrants from Africa..
