The Environment Agency (EA) issued a 'severe flood warning' for part of the county on 17 February 2020. The warning - the highest form issued by the EA - says the extreme weather brought from Storm Dennis has led to a risk of flooding across Burton overnight. It suggests at its peak the water levels coming from the River Trent could overstretch the flood defences and flooding could pose a 'danger to life'.
An EA spokesman said: "This Severe Warning has been issued because of the risk of rapid onset of flooding. Our forecast peak river level is expected to reach the top of the defences and therefore there is potential for localised overtopping. River levels have risen and are forecast to continue rising at the Drakelow river gauge as a result of heavy and persistent rainfall due to Storm Dennis. Consequently the flooding of property, roads and farmland is possible overnight between midnight and 10am tomorrow, 18/02/20. We are closely monitoring the situation."
Staffordshire Police has issued advice to anyone living in the affected area. A spokesman said: "A severe flood warning has been issued for Burton and the surrounding area - which means a threat to life. Those in the impacted area should have a bag and insurance details to hand."

Employees supported a special Earth Month celebration with the Royal Botanical Gardens, Kew. Around 100 volunteers supported this important environmental organisation through either gardening with the horticulture team, or lantern making for their award-winning winter lantern trails. The activities ended with a lunch and talk from Kew Director of Science, Alex Antonelli on biodiversity.
Michael, a student in History and Politics at the University of Oxford and a volunteer of the Oxford Food Bank, helps to deliver food to different community groups in Oxford. The Oxford Food Bank is a food charity that relies on volunteers seven days a week and every day of the year. Its double mission is to feed the community and protect the environment. The charity collects surplus food from local supermarkets and wholesalers and delivers it for free to around 60 registered charities in the Oxford area. Even though the food received is rejected by supermarkets as "surplus" food, it is good quality food that would have been thrown away - most often because of a date stamped on it. "Best Before" is still good after.

Note: This photo is part of an ongoing project on food waste that I have been zooming in over the past years. Most of these photos have never been published anywhere and have sat on an external hard-drive for too long. I decided to use more of Flickr, so over the next months I will be uploading here photos taken for the project (aiming at one-per-day). If you're interested in the subject, keep an eye on the "Love Food Not Waste" album.
******************************************************************************
While one billion people across the planet suffer from hunger, the amount of food wastage taking place every single day in developed countries is obscene. With up to a third of all food thrown away, producing food simply to bin it is a waste of all those precious resources – land, water, energy – that were put into growing, processing and transporting it.
My photo project, ‘Love Food Not Waste’, illustrates some of the levels of the food waste reduction pyramid: Feeding Landfills is the lowest level in the hierarchy and should be illegal; Feeding AD Plants, which, despite not being the best way of dealing with surplus food, at least generates modest amounts of energy, and also fertiliser; and Feeding Bellies, where food waste heroes such as freegans and food charities help rescue some of the surplus food and re-distribute it to people in need.

About 140 bird species live on or visit the site, including bald eagles, egrets, great blue herons, snowy owls (wintering away from the arctic tundra), swallows and purple martins.

Every year, disasters caused by weather, climate and water-related hazards impact on communities around the world, leading to loss of human life, destruction of social and economic infrastructure and degradation of already fragile ecosystems. Statistics from the Center for Research on the Epidemiology of Disasters (CRED) at the university of Leuven, Belgium, reveal that from 1992-2001, about 90% of natural disasters were meteorological or hydrological in origin; the resulting economic losses were estimated at $446bn, or about 65% of all damage caused by natural disasters.

Hungary - Tihany Balaton
Located in western Hungary, Lake Balaton is the largest freshwater lake in Europe, but being shallow, it is particularly sensitive to the influence of climate change, amplified by human activity. Both the quantity and the quality of the water in the lake are affected by rising temperatures, fluctuating water levels, decreasing annual precipitation and declining natural sources of water entering the lake.
