Oxon Run flows through Ward 8 of Washington, D.C., on July 24, 2024. The stream begins in Prince George's County, Maryland, and eventually joins Oxon Creek before reaching the Potomac River in the District of Columbia. As it passes through Oxon Run Park in Southeast Washington, the stream is confined to a concrete channel due to flood control projects and urbanization in the 20th century. Originally a natural, meandering stream, Oxon Run and many of its tributaries were altered significantly, with some converted into storm drains. Established in 1971 on land previously part of the federally managed Oxon Run Parkway, Oxon Run Park now serves as a recreational area with sports facilities, trails, playgrounds, and the Southeast Tennis and Learning Center.

In May 2010, 13 young MLS participants went on a three day camp in the spectacular Gippsland hills and forest, staying at Allambee Camp. They are part way through the six month MLS program, which has been teaching them about the environment and developing their leadership skills, so they can pass on their knowledge to others in multicultural communities.
All of the participants live in the city and some have been in Australia for less than a year, so getting into Victoria’s beautiful natural environment was an eye opening experience. Seeing the bush, farmland, wildlife, a wind farm and the ocean put the sustainable living issues we’ve been talking about into a broader context. It also let some of our newest young citizens get an appreciation for Australia’s wild places, and compare them with those in the countries they’ve travelled through on their way here.

He was said to have been influenced by seeing the Grotto of the Redemption.

A rain garden captures stormwater runoff pollution at the Knollwood Life Plan Community in Northwest Washington, D.C., on July 17, 2024. The retirement community installed the example of green infrastructure in partnership with District Stormwater. The rain garden, bordering the Knollwood parking lot, is estimated to capture 2.2 million gallons of runoff annually, filtering it using nature-based processes before it reaches Rock Creek, the Potomac River, and ultimately the Chesapeake Bay. The new rain garden is approximately 4,700 square feet and captures runoff from 1.6 acres of impervious surface. It includes a variety of native and flowering plants that will provide habitat and food for pollinators. (Photo by Rhiannon Johnston/Chesapeake Bay Program)

The Great Suburban Walk
There’s a federal election on its way, yet our political leaders continue to backflip, delay and deny on climate change. With so much at stake, it’s time for the community to put climate action back on the election agenda.
The 2010 Walk Against Warming demand that our political leaders face up to their responsibility on climate change. We’ll remind them that to secure our votes, they must ‘Walk with the People, Not the Big Polluters’.
This year we took our message for a safe climate straight to the people that matter most – the voters.
We coordinated hundreds of Victorians in three key electorates (Melbourne, Deakin and La Trobe) to come together and letterbox. To make sure that voters in those areas know exactly what actions our leaders need to take on climate change.
So that means that less than one week before the federal election, up to 300,000 of the most influential voters in Victoria will receive our safe climate message. How good!
