The road we have long been traveling is deceptively easy, a smooth superhighway on which we progress with great speed, but at its end lies disaster. The other fork of the road -- the one less traveled by -- offers our last, our only chance to reach a destination that assures the preservation of the earth." - Rachel Carson//

You may choose any medium to depict the two roads, but it must be more than a quick sketch on a sheet of paper.
