Through the Lens: the Dalian Oil Spill

Video | March 4, 2011

In July 2010, Chinese photographer Lu Guang documented the oil spill at the city of Dalian for Greenpeace. The pictures he took portraying the death of firefighter Zhang Liang won a World Press Photo award in 2011 (third prize, spot news stories).

Although the pictures he took are incredibly sad, they are a very powerful reminder of how costly our addiction to oil is.
