Environment America is a federation of state-based, citizen-funded environmental advocacy organizations. Our professional staff in 23 states and Washington, D.C., combines independent research, practical ideas and tough-minded advocacy to overcome the opposition of powerful special interests and win real results for the environment. Environment America, the new home of U.S. PIRG's environmental work, draws on 30 years of success in tackling environmental problems.
In 2007, the leaders of environmental groups in 23 states joined forces to form Environment America. Together, we’re building on the progress our advocates and activists have made at the state and local level—from laws that promote solar and wind power, to cuts in the pollution that causes global warming, to new protections for millions of acres of wilderness and open space. With grassroots support and action across the country, a team of professional researchers and issue experts, advocates at work in 23 state capitols, more advocates at work in Washington, D.C., a spirit of cooperation and an orientation toward real results, Environment America is providing a powerful new force for progress on the environment in our country.
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.

We were recently invited by Martin and Anina, from the Architectural Society of Scotland, to share their display space at the Dumfries & Galloway Environment Fair hosted at the Crichton in Dumfries.
What a great day it was! Hundreds of families came to chat and find out more about the Cruck Cottage and other historic buildings in the area.
Anina had set up tables where children could draw a picture of their favourite building - they were great!
Thanks again to Martin and Anina for inviting us.
The Executive Director of the Green Climate Fund (GCF) visited our joint project on the Nile delta. Together with the government, we support Egypt’s climate change adaptation efforts using low-cost, nature-based solutions to secure a 69 km area from sea level rise.

Kykkos monastery maintains separate grounds Engomi, Nicosia called Metochi tou Kykkou . The land on which it lies was acquired over the years by the monastery through bequests. With the city's rapid expansion, the area which once used to be in the outskirts has now become prime property. Despite this, much of it is still used for agricultural purposes.
A garden is a grand teacher. It teaches patience and careful watchfulness; it teaches industry and thrift; above all it teaches entire trust.
The love of gardening is a seed once sown that never dies.

Devil's den is an incredible ancient megalithic monument located not too far from Avebury circle. Some researchers think that it was marking a site of an ancient spring. It is part of a unique collection of prehistoric monuments in the ancient Kingdom of Wessex (currently the Wiltshire County).
Stonehenge is a prehistoric monument in Wiltshire, England, two miles (3 km) west of Amesbury. It consists of a ring of standing stones, each around 13 feet (4.0 m) high, seven feet (2.1 m) wide, and weighing around 25 tons. The stones are set within earthworks in the middle of the most dense complex of Neolithic and Bronze Age monuments in England, including several hundred tumuli (burial mounds).
Archaeologists believe it was constructed from 3000 BC to 2000 BC. The surrounding circular earth bank and ditch, which constitute the earliest phase of the monument, have been dated to about 3100 BC. Radiocarbon dating suggests that the first bluestones were raised between 2400 and 2200 BC, although they may have been at the site as early as 3000 BC.
One of the most famous landmarks in the United Kingdom, Stonehenge is regarded as a British cultural icon.[6] It has been a legally protected Scheduled Ancient Monument since 1882, when legislation to protect historic monuments was first successfully introduced in Britain. The site and its surroundings were added to UNESCO's list of World Heritage Sites in 1986. Stonehenge is owned by the Crown and managed by English Heritage; the surrounding land is owned by the National Trust.

UNEP has provided remote and real-time advice to the Government of Nepal, international agencies, and the UN system on dealing with the environmental issues linked to the the earthquake. UNEP also actively participated in a Post Disaster Needs Assessment (PDNA) completed in June 2015.
In order to ensure that environmental issues are addressed during the reconstruction process, UNEP is working closely with the World Wildlife Fund for Nature on a rapid environmental assessment to inform the recovery process. In addition, UNEP has also facilitated the establishment of a coalition between WWF, International Union for Conservation of Nature and the Kathmandu-based International Centre for Integrated Mountain Development (ICIMOD), with the objectives of promoting good environmental management principles and promoting healthy ecosystems in the reconstruction progress.

Melbourne, Environment Victoria and friends
Over the coming few weeks, as the price on pollution is debated in Parliament, Victorian communities will come together to take part in the Earth Relay - a series of actions to symbolise support for action on climate change.
Like the passage of the Olympic flame to the site of the Olympic Games, communities across Victoria will be passing a human sized earth globe from suburb to suburb and town to town. And after travelling across the state, the dome will be taken to Parliament House, Canberra to send the Victorian community’s message of hope for the future.
So get involved in this important moment in history. Hop here to find out when the when the Earth Relay is coming to a suburb or town near you > www.environmentvictoria.org.au/earth-relay
