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!

The World Bank conducts the Mid-Term Review for the Landscape Approach to Forest Restoration and Conservation (LAFREC).
This exercise- conducted from February 1 to February 8, 2018- included meetings with implementing stakeholders and partners and field visits to some of the activities implemented under the project.
Here, the World Bank Team is joined by the Nordic Development Fund (NDF) Representative, RWFA and REMA for a tour at the National Seeds Centre in Huye District. This Centre will be supported under the "Improving the Efficiency and Sustainability of Charcoal and Wood Fuel Value Chains" project financed by NDF. This new project- launched on February 6, 2018- will be implemented as part of LAFREC
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)

This moss-rock boulder is on the fringes of a pond that we installed back in April. Duckweed is creeping up the front face with a 3" tall plant rising from its center. On the back face, there's a quantity of string algae.
I love the colors but also the fact that nature obviously abhors a vacuum.
I registered this pretty Linnet at Farlington Marshes last Saturday. Thanks to Glauco Pereira for confirming this identification.

Environment Victoria works with people from all walks of life to bring about a society living in harmony with a healthy environment.
The GreenTown project is working with four culturally and linguistically diverse communities between 2008 and 2010. As part of the project, community leaders are trained in environmental auditing, and then carry out audits in households and businesses in their community. The households receive items like low energy light globes and water saving showerheads, to help them reduce their environmental impact, and gain a bit more knowledge about sustainability along the way.

Much of the landscape of Rocky Mountain National Park has been shaped by the continuous growth, disappearance, and regrowth of glaciers in the park. A glacier is a perennial mass of snow or ice that is large enough and heavy enough to flow, like a very thick fluid.

In North Kazakhstan, the circular economy is thriving through the use of biomass for heat, reducing environmental impact and costs. Initiatives include a modular biomass boiler in Beskol, agricultural waste processing into fuel briquettes, and flax straw heating at a grain processing company. These efforts enhance local living conditions and demonstrate the economic and environmental benefits of utilizing agricultural waste.

Ariel Trahan, third from left, District Department of Energy & Environment environmental protection specialist, leads a tour of Kingman Island and Heritage Island for the Chesapeake Bay Program Habitat Goal Implementation Team in Washington, D.C., on May 1, 2024. Kingman and Heritage islands were created in 1903 using dredge spoils from the Anacostia River, which had filled in with eroded sediment from centuries of development beginning in the 1700s. After a seawall was constructed on both sides of the Anacostia in the early 1900s, the river had lost about 90% of its wetlands. But efforts in recent years have brought some wetlands back to the river, including at Kingman Lake. (Photo by Will Parson/Chesapeake Bay Program)
