Shadows Are Larger Than Life
I was attending an event where I saw this scene open up in front of me. A person was standing beyond the curtain on which his shadow was cast. The shadow was larger than him actually, and hence i thought of giving this caption. I barely got 2-3 seconds to make this one as when I looked up to see if i could get another, that person had moved away.

Plastic Bottle Recycling
A woman worker sorts used plastic bottles in a recycling factory. She helps to prevent the bottles from being discarded, sent to landfill, where they can take 1,000 years to biodegrade, or incinerated, which produces toxic fumes. The emission of CO2 and other greenhouse gases will be reduced if recycling takes place in the production of new plastics.
