Millions of people have been taking part in the #10YearChallenge by posting two photos of themselves a decade apart to show how much they've changed. Now they are publishing photos of how much the Earth has changed over that time:
Greenpeace posted a pair of pictures of the Amazon rainforest ten years ago (left) and today. Increased temperatures and droughts are taking their toll on the Amazon as trees are unable to adapt to the changing climate
Greenpeace was one of the first environmental organisations share two photographs of deforestation in the Amazon rainforest followed by organisations like WWF UK. Some have deemed the viral trend the 'only 10 year challenge we need to think about' and 'the saddest you'll see'
Images of a starving polar bear resulted in public outcry about human impacts on the natural world. Pictured, an emancipated polar bear (right) stumbling through a terrain devoid of snow and ice next to an image of a healthy polar bear taken in 2009
In a more poignant message, organisations have begun to pre-empt between now and 2029 with the image from today depicting a whale emerging from the water and in 2029, an ocean with no whale (right)
Another tweet calls attention to the fact that non-degradable materials such as plastic bottles don't ever go away. The pair of images shows a bottle in 2009, and the bottle ten years later, which is still intact (right)
