| 1986: Europa - Nature Conservation (Artist - Hans Erni; Engraving - Karl Bickel Jr |
Hans Erni portrayed a woman and a man for the 1986 theme of Nature Conservation. I'm guessing that they must be the personification of earth and water.

| 1986: Europa: Pollution of the Sea |
I'm not left guessing with this message although was intrigued that it was described as 'dumping of radioactive and other waste in the sea and its danger to the fauna' then checked and saw that prohibition of disposal of radiation waste at sea didn't come into force until 1994. The NE Atlantic was a popular place for dumping nuclear waste for 7 countries so one can understand the Faroe Islanders concerns, and me, as I live down the coast from a nuclear facility.
Sunday Stamps theme this week is - Europa - See It On A Postcard

The Greek ones are very striking!
And now, 30 years later, there is another dilemma with what to do with the Fukushima wastewater - at least they are talking.

Those stamps from Switzerland have a wonderful design; I had never seen them.
