A maior alegria na natureza é a ausencia do homem!
The great joy for the environment is the absence of the Man!
Bliss Carman - Poeta - Canadense
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.

River Corps Crew Leader Mike Weitekamp inspects pervious pavers during a home visit for the RiverSmart Homes program in Washington, D.C., on April 13, 2017. Pervious pavers are considered a best management practice because they help rainwater infiltrate into the ground as opposed to running off the pavement and into the storm sewer.

Red maple buds extend above Kishacoquillas Creek near its confluence with the Juniata River in Lewistown, Pa., on April 10, 2018. In 2010, Western Pennsylvania Conservancy received a Chesapeake Bay Small Watersheds Grant for $50,000 from the National Fish & Widlife Foundation to implement conservation practices on four farms in order to improve the health of Kishacoquillas Creek and downstream waterways. The project supported the installation of 7,080 feet of streambank fencing as well as other measures to reduce livestock impacts on streams, stabilize streambanks, and provide habitat for fish.
