Friend of TreeHugger Daryl Hannah (she dropped by in New York last autumn and we chatted a few hours about LA's South Central Farm, Clinton's Global Initiative, her website and the environment in general - she's great and really dedicated to green) is shown here "[testing] the 'water' in a pit in the oil-producing region of Ecuador's Amazon jungle."

This is an amazing foto. This is Lauren Bacall at the blood bank.
Communist governments are not eco-friendly.
