Thinking abt the humanists* who wrote abt the implications of generally referring to "THE environment" and "my body."
How might we act differently if we think of "MY/OUR" environment?

B&W photography of the Earth rising behind the Moon, a perspective from space, first captured during the Apollo 8 mission, 1968, by astronaut William 'Bill' Alison Anders (17 October 1933 – 7 June 2024) The 3-person crew circled the Moon ten times (10x) on that occasion, and the photo was taken during the spacecraft's fourth (4th) pass behind the Moon. Anders then switched to color film and took the even more iconic photo "Earthrise", which was later picked by Life magazine as one of its hundred photos of the century. Reflecting on the photos he took, Anders said: "We came all this way to explore the Moon, and the most important thing is that we discovered the Earth." Technical specs: Photo taken highly modified Hasselblad 500 EL camera with an electric drive. The camera had a simple sighting ring, rather than the standard reflex viewfinder, and was loaded with a 70 mm film magazine containing custom Ektachrome film developed by Kodak. The camera was reportedly set for an exposure setting 1/250th of a second at f/11 aperture. Upon return to Earth, the film was processed in Corpus Christi, For the prints, the geometry of the shot was changed: the original image was rotated 95 degrees clockwise to better convey the sense of the Earth rising over the moonscape. A lunar impact crater was named "Anders' Earthrise" after Anders and his three famous photos (this one in black & white, plus the two others in color): it is located on the southern hemisphere on the far side of the Moon.

"But the swan population in the area hasn't always been so healthy. Trumpeter swans were once listed as an endangered species. In the 1930s, fewer than 70 wild birds were known to exist after they were over hunted for their white plumage."

Thanks to my manuscript workshop, I abandoned chronological argument for a thematic one, embedding it into the book structure.
