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)

A Canada goose visits 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.

Old Car City USA - Sometimes Interesting
Tourist attraction in Bartow County, Georgia. Old Car City in White, Georgia contains the worlds largest known classic car junkyard & is a unique landscape of metal and moss. Visitors enjoy the beautiful vegetation of the deep south that is intertwined with the hundreds of cars that reside in Old Car City.
Old Car City started as a small general store in 1931 during the Great Depression, Old Car City gradually evolved into a very big, very old automobile junkyard. But it wasn't until 2009 that owner Dean Lewis -- who grew up on the property -- realized he could turn it into a tourist attraction because a lot of people shared his love of decomposing automotive carcasses. It is still family owned and operated. 34 acres of forest and fields filled with 4,000 old cars (1972 and older) weathered and deteriorating old American cars. It has more than 6.5 miles of trails on 34 acres. Located about 45 minutes north of Atlanta in White, Georgia, is a cross between a junkyard and an outdoor car museum.
Come enjoy the Old South environment, folk art, ghosts of beautiful classic cars, and much more! With over 34 acres and over 4000 American-made cars from the early 20th Century, these cars, trucks, vans, and even a couple school buses are placed in such a way as to be ideally suited for photos, videos and custom camera shoots. Over the 8 decades since first started, thousands of photographers, videographers, ad agencies and media companies have visited Old Car City USA. Popular news magazine and newspaper companies, like CBS Sunday Morning, the New York Times, the BBC and Georgia Public Television, have made press releases and/or video segments and transmitted it worldwide. Who knew that Old Car City USA, a place where junk cars go to live out the rest of their existence, would be such a fascinating stop.
Mayor of Old Car City USA, Dean Lewis, welcomes all who come out to visit his varied collection of automobile art with a little help from Mother Nature. You can come and just stroll along with winding paths for a nominal fee or, for a few dollars more, bring a camera and take pictures and/or videos and share them with friends. Among the many cars at Old Car City USA, there is the last car Elvis Presley ever bought back in 1977 just a couple months before he died. Also, a movie starring Andy Griffith and Johnny Cash used one of the cars that now call this place "home." The honorary mayor of the "City," Dean Lewis, is also an artist in his own rite with some of the most unique canvas . . . the styrofoam cup. In his upstairs loft, Lewis has hundreds of styrofoam canvases featuring his artistic talents on display along with some paintings he will proudly show off.

A lot of images of the SL build which are quite similar (in fact some are identical, only cropped differently) which I am uploading for archiving purposes.
What I also want to show with these is how my cage came together with the stunning work of Werner Kurosawa who made the huge sphere that revolved around it and Marc Moana's organic construct which was placed behind it.

Spoonleaf sundew grows after being planted as part of a 2,600-foot stream and wetland restoration on a tributary of the Severn River known as Jabez 3 in Millersville, Md., on May 23, 2025. Funded by the Resilience Authority of Annapolis and Anne Arundel County, with $8.1 million provided by the Maryland Department of Natural Resources (DNR) and $977,640 from the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation (NFWF) EPA Innovative Nutrient and Sediment Reduction Grants program, the project was built by Underwood & Associates, Inc., to address severe erosion that was sending sediment pollution downstream into the Severn River. The design filled a 10-foot-deep eroded channel to reconnect the stream to its floodplain, using sand, gravel and wood chips to create riffles and step pools in what's known as a regenerative stormwater conveyance. "It's now controlling those pulses of floods," said Sara Caldes, the Severn Riverkeeper. "The amount of habitat that's been created in, like, one year is what I find most interesting."
