Dutch “PCN” LOVES GoogleEarth

The (what I believe is) Dutch online magazine “PCM” has picked up on our new iLoveMountains.org-GoogleEarth project.

They have VERY kind words for everyone’s work:

Hoewel Google Earth voornamelijk wordt gebruikt om van bovenaf de mooiste en interessantste plekken op aarde te bekijken, is het door en pas uitgebrachte functionaliteit nu ook mogelijk om te zien hoe de mens de aarde aan het vernietigen is.

Google heeft samen met de milieuactiegroep Appalachian Voices een interactieve laag aan Google Earth toegevoegd.

More and more people in America and across the world are seeing mountaintop removal for the first time and being appalled that Americans would do such a thing to ourselves. Its nice to get some worldwide recognition for mountaintop removal, but we have to stop MTR with our own two hands right here.

Lets see some big articles in American technology journals!

Update: Not to be outdone, “Computer Idee” says:

Google Earth toont menselijke vernietiging natuur
