What will happen to that hillside in the next torrential downpour?

Molly......using a computer with screen et al and the AC you have on on warm nights (or cold nights for that matter), will also produce polluting smoke and noise...... maybe not in your backyard

, but at your local power plant

........
As for the hillside.....who knows when the next earthquake/ cyclone/tornado/tsunami would affect
that piece of landscape.......
I realize that they ( 4WD's) have changed the contour/lay of that land. It would be insignificant compared to the above natural disasters......
I would be looking at how 'we' have changed landscapes to suit our benifit ( ie airports in the sea (china, japan) and land reclamation ( the Netherlands) before 'we' condemn recreational "bashing of the Earth" .( also water skiing on our local dams).
Molly, no doubt any car( petrol/diesel) that starts its engine will produce co2.
As well turning on your computer and any electrical device in your house and surrounds ( light poles, telephone, phone chargers etc)
So......Photoshop, in the end will cause damage to the Earth, albeit in a different way

( and in
my opinion.... the few that do these crazy uphill battles compared to the amount of people using photoshop (or similar) for work in the multimedia industry would be less than being King of the Mountain........ no scientific proof attached just my doggg gone gutst instink)

As an aside.....
Building a 10 meter scope on a hillside in some far of location; what considerations do they put into the amount of c02 they produce ? Trucks, helicopters,trains, planes!, cars, factories producing the glass( its a lot!), factories producing metal to support the glass and I can go on and on ........It does produce a lot of co2......
I guess I'm trying to put it into perspective.....
I'm at the moment running a fairly high powered puter with two screens, whilst watching some lame tv show on my 42" lcd .........so I'm not an angel in regards to power conservation......
But I try....at work and at home....turning off lights and AC where I can and when I can....
