WWF Campaign Posters

I just found pretty amazing 'World Wildlife Fund' (WWF) campaign posters when i was researching global warming etc.  They are really powerful visuals that instantly made me feel guilty about all the littering and slacking on recycling iv ever done. Job done then! They portray a real sense of the impact that us humans have had on nature and the development of the earth. These are a few of the campaigns that inspired me:

These last two especially jumped out to me because it portrays the way that we are and should be at one with nature and because we're cutting its life short we are ultimately ensuring ourselves with the same fate. The rest can be seen here.
The caption reads:"The Tsunami killed 100 times more people than
9/11. The planet is brutally powerful. Respect it. Preserve it."

This campaign poster for global warming created controversy due to its content of 9/11...obviously.  Although being rather offensive it is such a bold point to make, that i think hits home.  Us humans like to think we have so much control over nature and in many ways we do.  Almost too much.  Although ultimately...we have no control at all and nature is a force  so strong and dangerous that we should try to preserve it. Not anger it. 

This has given me thoughts to; are we at one with nature? and can we ever be at one or control nature?
