Taken on Lantau Peak, the greenest island in Hong Kong and a hikers paradise. But, it has also got the highest pollution levels in Hong Kong. This photo taken at 934m above sea level. This is a genuine picture taken with my point n shoot Sony, no filters etc. Chep Lap Kok the international airport is in the left part of the gloom 2.5km from the peak. Though the pollution doesn't come from there, it comes from 50km north of here in the Pearl River Delta, industrial heart of Southern China, fuelled by coal fired power stations. The pollution is up to a height of 900m and only on Lantau Peak (934m) the second highest in HK, and Tai Mo Shan the highest, can you get above this filth!
Our changing environment has always had keepers. Now than ever before people must learn to do their part to help their environment as a keeper.
Thank you.
Came across these burnt rides near a camp ground. Marked by the RCMP.
It sorta added to the scene in the background but also took away with from the natural beauty along with those power lines cutting across the landscape.

Laminate floors are an environment-friendly and affordable way of giving a hardwood look to your flooring. They are coated with a clear special-resin coated cellulose to protect the laminate, but that can also be the reason why they can get incredibly sticky. They pose a slipping hazard, so you must take care of this before anything else!
Making laminates safer becomes all the more important when you have older people or pets in the house. Even persons in wheelchairs or with special needs and busy parents are highly prone to slipping on a laminate floor. You could switch the cleaners you use or make more straightforward decor changes like placing rugs, among other things.
We have some tried and tested tips on how to make laminate floors less slippery in an easy-to-read list. Read on.
Ways To Make Laminate Floors Less Slippery
Clean Them Regularly
Like any other floors, laminate floors are prone to getting dirty or watery over time by snowy boots or muddy shoes. Keeping a mop handy to wipe any wet spots, mud, debris, or dirt you notice will significantly help in making the floor less slippery. Don't clean only as a chore that has to be done once a day or week, but make sure you are prompt when it comes to cleaning spills or dirt from the laminate floor.
If a thin layer of dirt accumulates over the floor, it destabilizes the coated surface and reduces friction. This increases the chances of falls or accidents.

Standing Stone Creek flows through Alan Seeger Natural Area in Huntingdon County, Pa., on Oct. 7, 2020. An invasive insect, the hemlock woolly adelgid, has attacked eastern hemlock trees in the area, which holds a rare stand of old-growth trees. The hemlock woolly adelgid causes an infested tree to drop its needles, and stressed trees can eventually die from heat and drought. Active management in Pennsylvania includes chemical treatment and biocontrols—essentially predatory beetles that eat the invasive insect. Keeping a forest healthy—by safeguarding its soils, water quality and biodiversity—plays a huge part in keeping trees resilient to the invaders. (Photo by Will Parson/Cheapeake Bay Program)

Madeira vine (Anredera cordifolia) is a noxious weed that must be controlled.
The vine has aerial tubers on the stem as well as underground tubers. To remove the plant it is best to dig out the tubers from the soil and collect all aerial tubers. If using herbicide scrape the stem with the back of a knife and paint undiluted glyphosate herbicide on the cut within 30 seconds.
Lake Las Vegas is about 15 miles southeast of Las Vegas, and overlooks Lake Mead (part of the Colorado river). It is a private development, with some gated communities, gorgeous landscaping, and absolutely the worst example of water-citizenship that I have seen. Again, as at the Bellagio, there is a claim that the water used for landscaping and the lake is recycled or non-potable water, which is good. But.... this is the desert.
Do people understand that they're living in the desert and learn that they must conserve water when they see vast areas of lush green grass and large lakes? No. We've basically sucked the Colorado dry before it hits Mexico, why not let the non-potable water run through to Mexico for crop irrigation and flushing the outlet of the Colorado into the Gulf of California? Because we don't care about the consequences beyond our immediate "needs," and we definitely don't care very much for our Southern neighbors.
All the green area in this picture is unnatural. The color of the mountains in the background is the natural color of the area, the green is from irrigation.
A new provincial regulation will expand B.C.’s efforts to tackle hard-to-recycle single-use and plastic items.
The Single-Use and Plastic Waste Prevention Regulation will cover shopping bags, disposable food service accessories, oxo-degradable plastics and food service packaging made of polystyrene foam, PVC, PVDC, compostable or biodegradable plastics.

Trees planted by the Hopewell Tree Stewards grow at Riverside Park in Hopewell, Va., on June 20, 2022. The trees were planted to help absorb stormwater runoff from a nearby paved area before it reaches a stream leading to the Appomattox River. Erin Kelley, now leader of the fledging nonprofit, received training from Tree Stewards when it was a grant-funded program of the Chesapeake Bay Foundation. In late April, the group hosted a Hopewell Family Arbor Day with over 200 attendees and 71 participating organizations, groups and businesses. “We have a lot of stormwater issues going on in the city of Hopewell,” said Kelley, who pointed out that trees do more than just soak up tens of thousands of gallons of water, like providing cooling shade to overheated city streets. “It saves power because it does that—makes it more beautiful, makes it more attractive to go to the park, so we planted a lot in our parks.” (Photo by Will Parson/Chesapeake Bay Program)
