A legal challenge is underway in the NSW Land and Environment court over the state approval of the Shenhua coal mine proposed for development at Breeza on the Liverpool Plains.
The Upper Mooki Landcare group from the Liverpool Plains region will argue that the Shenhua Watermark mine approval failed to properly consider, as required by law, whether the open cut coal mine would place a viable local population of koalas, a threatened species, at risk of extinction.
If the mine proceeds it will bulldoze 847 hectares of koala habitat, displacing an estimated 262 koalas.

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.
Although there has been a rise in development assistance, donor funding for the DRC remains chronically low on a per capita basis compared to other sub-Saharan African countries.

Harris Sherman, Undersecretary, Natural Resources and Environment takes notes during the panel discussion of employees representing the seven mission areas at the U.S. Department of Agriculture during the Cultural Transformation Recognition Ceremony at the Jefferson Auditorium, US Department of Agriculture in Washington, DC, on Tuesday, October 4, 2011. Cultural Transformation is the process of creating a workplace where all employees and customers are treated with dignity, respect and the opportunity for success. Recognizing the important contributions of all employees to the operation of the United States Department of Agriculture. The goal of cultural transformation is to get everyone at USDA – from the Under Secretaries to employees at every grade level, in every location - to ensure USDA is a place where there’s opportunity for all to reach their full potential. Only then can USDA provide its customers with exceptional service in an equitable manner. USDA Photo by Bob Nichols.
An annual activity of Rotary Club Of Nagpur is the Nirmalya (flowers, puja material etc) collection at Futala lake during Ganesh festival. We pursuade people to properly dispose nirmalya in NMC dustbins that have been placed near the visarjan place, rather than litter the lake.
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.

Image Craft's ICON Themed Environments division created this new suite of office furniture, custom designed for our recently expanded Colorado office, now located in Centennial.
Shown here in various stages of production are a reception desk, media wall with podium, conference room table, storage and display credenzas, and more! The furnishings, primarily composed of shop ply and MDF, feature a zebra wood laminate with folkstone gray and matte black laminate work surfaces.
This project was produced entirely in-house in our Phoenix headquarters, from design to fabrication, and ultimately, through on-site installation. Backlit lettering and graphics are also part of the overall concept, and will be the final addition. We'll add more photos here as the project progresses.

IPS is intensifying its coverage of both global and local environmental challenges. We look at them from the perspective of the people for whom the ecosphere matters in a direct way: rural dwellers who have little means to protect themselves against adverse conditions; communities that need to switch to sustainable development in order to survive; poor women and children, always the most vulnerable in harsh times.
IPS has entered into cooperation with the International Federation of Environmental Journalists (IFEJ) - a partnership within the Alliance of Communicators for Sustainable Development, COM+ - and Friends of the Earth International (FOEI), and is building new alliances in order to expand its independent coverage of the issues that will determine our future and that of our children. IPS also created the award-winning Tierramérica, a specialised information service on environment and development, sponsored by the United Nations Environment Program (UNEP), the United Nations Development Program (UNDP) and The World Bank (WB).

The Virtual Environments module, ( 1st Year FD Design for Digital Media ) - set a brief where students had to create a prototype experience based around an area from the DirectGov website . The students were advised to focus their projects on the areas of 'Environment & Greener Living' or 'Health and Wellbeing'
Waste and Recycling
This prototype build, focused on Recycling waste. The build was split into two sections.. a recycling building that contained a conveyor belt where you could find out what objects could be recycled as they headed towards the furnace ( in the larger idea - this would be a further developed game element where people would sift objects that could be recycled or not ). The second section was a Rubbish Dump - that explained more of the dangers of badly disposed waste.

Awareness and preparedness for emergencies at local level (APELL). APELL achieves its aims through community participation in emergency planning, via a structured dialogue between representatives of the source of the hazard (e.g. a land-owner), local authorities (the emergency services, e.g. fire and /or police) and community leaders (who inform their constituencies). This dialogue is achieved through a ‘Coordinating Group’ which reviews the hazard situation and then proposes some measures to address the risks. The outcome is an emergency plan to which the community has provided substantial input and which is understood by ordinary citizens.
