Tanzania - ELCT: President Jakaya Mrisho plants a tree during a visit to a tree nursery in Tanzania. These women-led projects are a core part of the long-term plan for the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Tanzania. The aim is to establish one in every parish. On September 18, 2012, 26 Christian, Muslim and Hindu faith groups in sub-Saharan Africa launched long-term environmental action plans during ARC's 'Many Heavens, One Earth, Our Continent' celebration in Nairobi, Kenya.

FROM Third Way's Commitment Campaign:
When asked in our poll why “couples like you” might want to get married, 58% said “to publicly acknowledge their love and commitment to each other.” Only 22% chose “for rights and benefits, like tax advantages, hospital visitation, or sharing a spouse’s pension.” But when asked why gay couples might want to get married, publicly acknowledging love and commitment lost 20 points, and respondents were split down the middle between commitment and rights (38% to 38%).
This disconnect was even more stark within certain key demographic groups: those who attend church once a week (26 point gap) or more than once a week (33 point gap), Midwesterners under the age of 50 (31 point gap), and white voters without a college degree (25 point gap), among others.
On November 6, 2019 the Los Angeles Fire Department (LAFD) Foundation honored members of the Department who have demonstrated exceptional bravery, excellence, and commitment to their community.

The Class of 2023 affirmed their commitment to service on August 15, 2021, and took the Oath of Affirmation, binding them to complete their next two years of study and a minimum of five years of active-duty military service thereafter. Astronaut William S. McArthur Jr. ‘73 was the guest speaker for the evening.
Members of the Class of 1973, the 50-year affiliates of the Class of 2023, presented the cadets with commemorative coins to mark the occasion of their affirmed commitment.
"Regardless of your academic focus, you will graduate having majored in leadership. The good news is that you will leave this hallowed institution well-prepared to meet the challenges your careers will place before you. When you graduate, look at your diploma. Understand what it represents. It doesn’t mean that you are ready to conquer the world any more than one from an Ivy League school, an MIT or Ga Tech, a Notre Dame, Michigan, Texas, or Stanford. It means you are ready to learn your profession through hands-on experience. It means you are ready to make your own luck.

Read on: The Commitments. Good cast in an unconvincing musical.

From the City of Toronto:
"Councillor Pam McConnell (Ward 28 Toronto Centre-Rosedale), City of Toronto staff and community members joined event partners Toronto Community Housing and The Daniels Corporation today to celebrate the opening of the new Regent Park.
"This park and its amenities provide a much desired natural recreational space for the community of Regent Park, allowing all a greater opportunity to enjoy the outdoors," said Deputy Mayor Norm Kelly. "The City continues to reaffirm its commitment to increasing natural amenities in Toronto's urban landscape."
"Today's celebration was a delightful reflection of the way this space can be used to bring people together to enjoy art, music, food and recreation," said Councillor McConnell. "With the opening of this park, we also honour the contribution that Regent Park residents have made to the design of their neighbourhood gathering place."
Toronto Community Housing provided the land to the City's Parks, Forestry and Recreation division to develop into park space. The six-acre park is a $6.2 million investment by the City and includes a playground, splash pad, multi-purpose green space, plaza for community events, dog off-leash area, community gardens, greenhouse, bake oven, walkways and lush landscaping.
"This new park is a key part of how revitalization is fostering a vibrant community in Regent Park," said Greg Spearn, Toronto Community Housing's Chief Development Officer and interim President and CEO. "It's a place at the heart of Regent Park where residents, neighbours and people from across the city can come together to be part of a community that thrives."
"Regent Park, with the bake oven, greenhouse and community gardens, will provide a community gathering place where people, ideas and food can be shared and celebrated," said Louise Moody, Executive Director of the Christian Resource Centre, the Chair Organization of the Regent Park Food Partnership. "The Regent Park Food Partnership is delighted by the opportunities to engage local residents in animating the new park."
The new park's amenities and Regent Park Food Partnership, comprised of over 25 community groups and individuals, will create numerous opportunities for people to get involved in planting, growing, harvesting, cooking and sharing food, as well as enjoying farmers' markets, musical and public gatherings, and more.
"Regent Park is quickly becoming one of Toronto's best communities to live, work and play," said Martin Blake, Vice President of The Daniels Corporation, which is Toronto Community Housing's Development Partner in the Regent Park Revitalization. "The new park joins the incredible amenities that already exist in this community including Daniels Spectrum and the Regional Aquatic Centre along with the soon-to-open community centre and athletic grounds. All of these amenities nurture a true sense of community and we expect this fantastic outdoor space to be a favourite for all ages!"
The park opening event, called The Magic City, was sponsored by Toronto Community Housing and The Daniels Corporation and brought to life by choreographer Bill Coleman of Coleman Lemieux & Compagnie, with musical direction by John Oswald featuring the Toronto Symphony Orchestra with Maestro Bramwell Tovey, the Regent Park School of Music and over 400 performers of all ages from the Regent Park community. Community performances were supported by Artscape and Daniels Spectrum.
Regent Park is the ground-breaking example of how Toronto Community Housing's approach to city building can transform a community into a successful, mixed-income, mixed-use neighbourhood, with rental buildings, market condominium buildings, townhomes, commercial space, community facilities, active parks and open space.
The new park spans the block from Dundas Street to the south, Sumach Street to the west, Sackville Street to the east and Oak Street to the north.
The Weston Family Parks Challenge:
The W. Garfield Weston Foundation initiated the Weston Family Parks Challenge in 2012 announcing $5 million, in aggregate over three years, to enhance Toronto’s green spaces while encouraging private-public partnership for the long-term sustainability of Toronto’s parks.
Year one accomplishments are notable with over $1.3 million in funding being allocated to innovative park projects across the City. Click here to learn more about previous grants under the Parks Challenge.
Building on this success, the Ontario Trillium Foundation has announced $1.25 million in new funding for projects as part of the Weston Family Parks Challenge and to strengthen the capacity of Toronto Park People. Ontario Trillium Foundation’s support will be available over the next two years to provide greater incentive for communities to revitalize their connection to each other and nature.
The Weston Family Parks Challenge will provide $120,000 over two years to support an innovative and collaborative partnership in Regent Park to engage the community with the City of Toronto’s newest park. The contribution of The W. Garfield Weston Foundation will support community engagement efforts to ensure the long term sustainability of this new park space as part of the Revitalization of the Regent Park neighbourhood.
“The generous contribution of The W. Garfield Weston Foundation will ensure this new greenspace in the Regent Park neighbourhood will be off to a successful start when it opens in 2014” said Liz Curran, Community Food Centre Manager at CRC. “The funding being provided by the Weston Foundation will ensure that the local community is engaged with the wonderful new amenities in this park, which will become a community hub for all who live in the area.”

Chris was worried about PJ eating all her food (which had her heart meds in it) so he sat with her and fed her with a fork when she slowed down...
PJ is our friend's persian who we look after often when they are out of town. She is a very sweet cat who unfortunatley has some very serious health problems..
Thats the new fashion here, lovers lock their love to a bridge and wish it to last forever.. It seems it is the new version of throwing a coin to a fountain, i don't know if it exists in other cities also but the bridges of Zaragoza are full of locks..

The Covenant of Mayors is a commitment by signatory towns and cities to go beyond the objectives of EU energy policy in terms of reduction in CO2 emissions through enhanced energy efficiency and cleaner energy production and use.
Signatories of the Covenant of Mayors also commit to draft, submit and implement a Sustainable Energy Action Plan, explaining how they will achieve their objective for their territory, including actions concerning both the public and private sectors.
Some 1500 cities and towns in 36 countries have adhered to date to the Covenant. Many of them have already outlined their action plans, which prove how tackling climate change mitigation at local level is a great opportunity to mobilise sensible investments, create stable jobs and improve living conditions. In parallel, new political developments and support programmes are being developed by the Commission and other institutions to reinforce the Covenant.
The 2010 Covenant of Mayors Ceremony was held at the Hemicycle of the European Parliament in Brussels on 4 May 2010. This year’s Ceremony marks twelve months of exceptional growth in the Covenant of Mayors and the event was an opportunity for mayors from across Europe to come together to share their experiences of participating in the Covenant.
