“Earth Through a Lens” (ETAL) is an annual national juried photographic competitionthat seeks to enhance public education regarding development of a sustainableenvironment. Displays of the finalists’ photos are held each year in the Coachella Valleyaround the time of Earth Day (April 22). For 2011, we are delighted to hold two exhibits:one at the Rancho Mirage Public Library and the second at the Hyatt Regency SuitesHotel in Palm Springs. The exhibits highlight both the natural environment and humanimpact on the environment. The major themes this year include the impact of the caron our environment, preserving clean water, deforestation, desertification, our choicesof human habitats, and energy production. We hope that the show encourages you tothink about the choices we have in confronting these issues.
