RE: photogravure

Osky,

Do not apologize for your English, I understand.

Yes everything comes at a cost. We drive our kids to the soccer game – and
pollute the air. We make art and pollute. Art is a reflection of our
humanity. Man is the only animal that makes and appreciates art. Art is a
necessity of life. Every human culture known makes or made art. Without it
we lose our humanity.

Agriculture, organic or not, is devastating to the environment. Earth is
turned with a plow to raise the roots to the sun and air to kill the weeds.
It kills all the good creatures like earthworms too. Thousand year old
pueblo fields here in New Mexico are still visibly different from the native
soil surrounding them.

We need to prioritize our efforts. The most devastating environmental
problem in the world today is clean water. Bad water kills millions. It is
estimated that it takes 25 cents towards that effort to save one life.

A bit off topic but then maybe not.

Speaking about environment, do photopolymer comes from a environmental
carefull process?

The computers we are using, do they?

If we look arround us, do all wath we see is environmental safe??

Do we all eat organic products?

I´m not sure, and you??

As I see things, where things finish to be a snob fashion?

Sorry about my english, but I think you`ll understand what I want to say.

Osky,
have you tried using photopolymer plates for photogravure? Much safer on the
environment!
