圖1:Around the year 400, people came to Easter Island.(划船上岸的人說:So many trees here!)
圖2:They used trees to make fire and build houses. Because of the trees, people had a great life on the island.
圖3:In their free time, they loved making statues with big rocks. With the trees they cut down, they could move the statues around easily.
圖4:Trees were needed and used in every part of their life. Years passed, and there were fewer and fewer trees on Easter Island.(畫面對比 YEAR 400 的茂密森林與 YEAR 1400 的枯木殘株)
圖5:Without enough trees to keep water under the ground, the land became dry, and plants didn't grow.(兩名瘦弱島民說:I'm thirsty. / And I'm hungry.)
圖6:People began to fight for water and food. The statues were moved to fighting grounds to show their power. The last trees were probably cut down at this time.
圖7:Those who cut down the last trees surely understood how important trees were to them—but still, they did it. When the last trees fell to the ground, people on the island fell, too.
圖8:Let's not make Earth, our only home, another Easter Island.(畫面為現代城市街景)

In the picture is a UK electricity worker in the 1970s. Pictures like this appeared in many newspapers at the time. In 1972, electricity workers in the UK asked to be paid more, and they decided to stop working until their wish was answered. The government worried that there wouldn't be enough electricity for the country if these workers didn't go to work, so it agreed to give them the pay rise. However, the story didn't end there.
A year later, the electricity workers asked for another pay rise. To get what they wanted, they worked shorter hours and acted like they would walk away from their job anytime. But this time, the government decided to fight. To save electricity, it made new rules for people to follow. For example, each family could turn on the heat in only one room; TV stations had to stop their shows at 10:30 p.m.; businesses could open only three days a week.
People's lives were greatly changed. Without enough heat to keep the house warm, people covered themselves in blankets all the time. Hospitals had to use candles because they couldn't keep all the lights on. Factories couldn't keep their machines working. Many people lost their jobs. For months, people were paying the price while the electricity workers were fighting for their wish. In the end, the government agreed to the second pay rise. This picture shows what many people thought of the electricity workers during the "dark" time.
