Corn Farmer, Iowa
Photograph by John Stanmeyer
This Month in Photo of the Day: Nature and Environment
Jason Hinson, a sixth-generation corn farmer near Kingston, Iowa, keeps an eye on his auger as he unloads his combine on the fly. Federal mandates for corn-based ethanol soaked up 30 percent of the 2008 U.S. crop, helping send corn prices over eight dollars a bushel last year—triple the 2005 price. As long as energy prices remain high, biofuels will compete with food for land and water across the globe.

Ganges River Pollution
Photograph by Tushar Sharma, Your Shot
This Month in Photo of the Day: Nature and Environment
This shot was taken at Varanasi, India. A boat man still sleeping in the morning and the boats created a splendid formation. I was shocked that pollution from tourists throwing garbage and plastic waste into the River Ganges is slowly killing the environment.

Water Tank, Kenya

Rendille villagers in northern Kenya scoop the dregs from a water tank filled only the night before by a government truck but already drained below the level of its spigot. They must wait a week for the next delivery.

Children Playing in Rain, India
Photograph by Jashim Salam, Your Shot
This Month in Photo of the Day: Nature and Environment
Children playing in seasonal rains are a great sight of monsoon and six seasons here in Bangladesh. The effect of climate change is making this rare as less or more rain is causing great disturbances around the country. Heavy rain causes floods and landslides, and makes millions homeless and takes the lives of many others. The climate should behave like normal for our future children to play like this in monsoon rains, and people must take responsibility to reduce pollution and save our world.

Rideout Bay, Ontario
Photograph by Lee Anne Carver, Your Shot
This Month in Photo of the Day: Travel
This is an image from Rideout Bay in Kenora, Ontario, situated on the Lake of the Woods. The February sun veiled the shoreline as it teased the fog from the open water. There is no reason to believe this point looked any different 500 years ago, and I welcome its haunting invitation to return to innocence.

Paris is a densely settled metropolis, but one with numerous small parks and gardens. Most public places have benches or chairs, which encourage people to stop, rest, and talk. And of course sidewalk cafés, like this one, are everywhere.

Venice Carnival
Photograph by Mariusz Smiejek, My Shot
This Month in Photo of the Day: Travel
Carnival revelers take a break at one of Venice's countless sidewalk cafes. As European influences continue to trickle in from the north, Italy is experiencing a reinvention across its large cities. However, as home to the eternal city of Rome and some of the world’s greatest art and architecture, the country still clings to the roots that have provided the region’s lifeblood for centuries.
