The program allows users to select specific images, sort images, or view them in slide show format. Each image is followed by a screen of text based explanation in caption format. Students may view the work at a brickmaking factory in Columbia, the building of a rock dam in Africa, a saltworks site in Somalia, sulfur stockpiles in Texas, and more. Images also illustrate the environmental effects of mining, including land disfiguration through excavation and erosion, toxic residue and hazardous waste, air and water pollution. This program is designed as a supplement for learning about the environment.
