My main goal on this sketch was to draw an entire environment and again have it done before Shannon went to bed. I had all day of course to work on it, but I kinda like the forced last minute exercises so i can't linger and rework everything that should be a sketch anyway. My secondary goal was to try and achieve different textures which was part of the reason i chose the picture i did.. I feel I only succeeded with the texture part marginally though,(as in i pretty much failed haha) its something I still need to work on in the future

One of two wind turbines rises above an outdoor learning space at the Chesapeake Bay Foundation's Brock Environmental Center in Virginia Beach, Va., on April 15, 2015. The turbines generate 20 kilowatts of energy, and a little over half of the center's renewable energy comes from a 38 kilowatt array of solar panels on the roof. Completed in 2014, the center features numerous sustainable features such as salvaged materials, zero stormwater runoff and both wind and solar energy generated on site. It is also the first building in the United States to turn rainwater into potable drinking water. (Photo by Will Parson/Chesapeake Bay Program)

Château la Coste, a stone’s throw north of Aix-en-Provence, between forests of green and white oaks, meadows of almond trees and swathes of wildly growing flowers. The rhythm of an eternal Provence. Château la Coste today is a place of wine, art and architecture. It will continue to evolve as new projects and installations are developed.From their website.

Rwanda has launched a new facility that will invest in climate action led by the public sector on the sidelines of COP27 in Sharm El-Sheik, Egypt. The facility, which will be managed by the Rwanda Green Fund, has been capitalised through a grant of EUR 46 million from the Federal Republic of Germany through the Rwandan-German Climate and Development Partnership.
Known formally as the NDC Facility, the new funding will be available to government institutions working to implement Rwanda's climate action plan, also known as the Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) to the Paris Agreement.
The NDC Facility will be housed at the Rwanda Green Fund and act as the financial driver of Rwanda’s climate action plan. It also aims to attract additional climate finance from investors and development partners looking to be part of Rwanda’s green growth journey.
At the event, Rwanda and Germany also signed a Joint Declaration of Intent on Climate Research and Science Cooperation. The declaration will facilitate scientific exchange between Rwanda and Germany, supporting scientific analyses of the impacts of climate change.

The great joy for the environment is the absence of the Man!
Bliss Carman - Poeta - Canadense
He was doing a wheely heading towards me, but by the time I got my camera up to my eye he had dropped down. When he noticed my disappointment he yelled out, "check this out" and proceeded to climb up on the bike frame. And this is what I got.
I'm still deciding if I like my new mirrorless camera. After years of shooting with DSLRs, having the ability to not only bring the camera up to the eye and instantly see what is in the frame, but also being able to slide the on/off switch to the on position and get instant on results. With the mirrorless, the camera has to be energized before you can even peek through the view finder, and it takes valuable seconds to energize. Another thing I don't like with the mirrorless is the EVF itself. It reminds me of the old Casio Point and Shoot camera I had years ago. Looking through that EVF was like looking through a glass tumbler at my subject. But I do like the resulting images when the settings are right. In street photography the environment is constantly changing and sometimes images can be over or under exposed. That doesn't seem to be an issue with this sensor as I can be 2 or 3 stops under or over exposed and still get a decent image. Thanks partially to Lightroom and my raw files.

Typically golf courses in the Palm Springs area 'overseed' in the Fall. The grass that tolerates the heat in the summer turns brown in the winter, so the courses historically cut that grass very short and plant a winter seed on top. The process takes quite a bit of water and with the drought many courses have switched to overseeding only around the greens.
For some reason, no one every talks about the very high particulate pollution that comes from the overseeding process, both from bur cutting the summer grass in the Fall, and then bur cutting the winter grass in the Spring.
The first thing I notice about this picture is the water bottle crossed out. I think what the photo is trying to say is that the school cares about our future and they are putting their best foot forward to have a greener future by eliminating as many single-use plastics. I feel good about this because it encourages that an action as simple as bringing a reusable water bottle is beneficial for the environment but is also economically better. In schools, we are sometimes very wasteful with paper especially and this tiny step gets us closer to a better environment. In the past couple of years, we have progressed in understanding the severity of how climate change is affecting the world. This photo will potentially allow other schools to be motivated to take similar actions in their community which is super important. As a school, we can add more of these small little tasks an example would be that taking notes on your laptop instead of papers that’ll be thrown away at the end of the year. Another thing the school does as well is the automatic light switches that conserve electricity when there is no movement in the classrooms and so I believe we’re on the right path to brighten our future.

I visited back home over the weekend and created this quick collaboration with my brother. I did the seahorse, and he did the crayfish. He goes by Swil. My favorite part is the quote some little kid sprayed on the inside of the tunnel wall. It says "I own this twon"
