Species from clams to the vaquita porpoise have been greatly depleted since damming and diversions cut the flow of the river through the 20th century. More at dotDolphinFind
Rejseplanen har fået en ny funktion hvor man kan få vist hvor meget man kan spare i CO2 udledning hvis man bruger offentlig transport, det er jo smart, og det bliver illustreret klart med en grøn og en rød søjle at personbilen er den store synder, men i dette tilfælde skulle det vist have været omvendt.
Så vidt jeg kan se er CO2 besparelserne meget minimale når man tager bussen, i hvertfald når man anvender Rejseplanens algoritme, som kommer fra EcoPassenger.org

I went to Kiwanis Park in Brookfield, Illinois on April 25, 2019. While walking through a path in the forest, noticed this sign titled, “Alien Invaders!.” I have walked through this path many times and never really noticed it before. The sign discusses the environmental issue of invasive plants which are not native to the area, and how they cause damage to other plants by spreading quickly and blocking sunlight. The sign also presents names and photos of some invasive plants, such as Garlic Mustard, European Buckthorn Tree, Bull Thistle, and White Sweet Clover. I chose to take a photo of this sign because we have discussed the problems of invasive species in class in great detail. An invasive species is a nonnative species which causes a lot of harm to other species that are native. They reduce biodiversity, compete with native organisms for resources that are limited, and can cause other organisms to become endangered or extinct. They are so successful because they have few predators, an abundance of prey, and reproduce at a young age. The impacts of invasive species also cost a lot of money. Invasive species can also bring disease to other organisms. An environmental solution to the presence of invasive plants is to physically get rid of them by pulling them out of the ground. Native plants could also be planted, and cleaning your shoes or equipment that is used outdoors could help prevent invasive plants from spreading to new places. The sign at the park could be part of the environmental solution since it is spreading awareness and education to everyone who walks by, and I was glad to have noticed the sign because the more that people know about the dangers of invasive species the more they can do to help the environment.

Regardless of their stance on fracking, residents of the Marcellus Shale in Pennsylvania and southern New York all agreed that the fracking should be monitored. An interstate agency, the Susquehanna River Basin Commission, manages water resources within the watershed with an expansive monitoring network. Their 58 stations continuously monitor temperature, pH, specific conductance, dissolved oxygen and turbidity.

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)

Fidan Manafova
Fidan Manafova is one of participants of the competition “Özün Yarat” (“Do It Yourself”), an initiative to encourage as many people as possible to take care of the environment.
The competition was held by the United Nations Development Programme under the EU-funded EU4Climate project in May last year. All citizens of Azerbaijan interested in innovative solutions to household waste upcycling were invited to apply.
When Fidan gave birth, she felt more moral responsibility towards the earth. While on maternity leave, she became interested in producing decorative items using reusable materials. She submitted several works to the contest, and one of them received an award in the category “The best wood handicraft.”

Decals designed by fifth grade students at Petersburg Elementary School warn against pouring pollutants into drains that lead to the South Branch Potomac River at the school in Petersburg, W.Va., on April 28, 2017. The Chesapeake Bay Program and the West Virginia Conservation Agency assisted the city with a design contest, and the winnings signs and decals were installed in 2014 at each of the 61 storm drains around Petersburg.

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.
that's an oxymoron.
had mankind not already ruined the sea, he would be in the process of contaminating it now. i hope the people who visit the salton sea leave feeling empathic toward the environment and with the desire to prevent disasters like that from continuing but i doubt other people will ever bother to write to congressmen or form some sort of uprising. hasn't work for the sea in the past. at least we'll have lots of photos...
basically for me, the salton sea is a reminder that humans don't give a crap about their environment. and that the easiest way to solve and prevent serious environmental problems is to ignore them and find comfort in the fact that we'll be long dead before the earth is officially, positievely inhabitable.
