Strange Nature Scene from Chinese Kids Book

[krykrykrynunit]

Andy Switky of IDEO shares this fun illustration from an English-Chinese book that a colleague bought for his young son. "The Nature" page includes such natural features as a nuclear power plant and giant dam!

jesus!!
natural my a**. but then again there are always dumb illustrators that cant seem to have a sence of reality.

[tin-can-man]

no, nature is not like this in china...
its probably supposed to be western? i don't know
but quite amusing nonetheless

nothing wrong with having a nuclear power plant and water dam in nature.......

I mean where else will they be built........ in the middle of a Megacity?

Finally for those who dont know it, nuclear fission is more environmentally friendly than coal power plants. People are just scared because of Cheynobl's meltdown.

but if you think about it, humans are a part of nature so the things we build are also a part of nature so.... ..

yeah.
