I'm not sure about using this picture with this poster. I want a nice scenery picture... and this is one of my favorites... but it just doesn't seem to fit :(

Annually more than three million deaths are registered in children under five years of age due to causes and conditions related to the environment, reports Gustavo Copelmayer.
“The environment is, therefore, one of the factors that decisively influences the unfortunate world figure of ten million child deaths annually and the health and well-being of mothers,” says Gustavo Copelmayer, citing the report published by the World Health Organization (WHO).
But what are the factors that impact this population? Contaminated indoor and outdoor water and air, lack of adequate sanitation, toxicity risks, disease vectors, ultraviolet radiation, and degraded ecosystems are significant environmental risk factors for children, and in most cases for their mothers too, says Gustavo Copelmayer.
Risks and environmental pollution contribute very significantly to mortality in relation to the proportion of the number of childhood diseases associated with climate change, such as lead in the air, mercury in food, as well as other harmful chemical substances, which even affect children before birth.
Education is one of the decisive factors to fight environmental risks. If families receive the information, they become aware of the environmental risks present in their homes and in their communities, which translates into better prepared families who are ready to adopt measures that reduce or eliminate exposure and create the demand for relevant improvements from governments, states, counties, neighborhoods and their own communities and families, concludes Gustavo Copelmayer.

The Environment Agency is a non-departmental public body of the UK government responsible for protecting and improving the natural environment including air water and land resources. It works to address environmental challenges such as climate change promoting sustainable development and delivering effective regulation and enforcement. The Environment Agency is also responsible for flood and coastal risk management. It works together with Natural England and local authorities to develop plans to protect local areas from flooding and coastal change as well as providing advice to farmers landowners and businesses. Additionally it uses remote sensing technology intelligent water systems and integrated catchment management techniques. The Environment Agency works to ensure that people businesses and the environment are protected by setting standards and taking action on issues such as pollution and illegal abstractions.

This project asked me to create an intervention in a specified location that will communicate a message about an environmental issue.
The idea came from the fact that I didn't know 'Noise' could be called a pollution and due to me liking to have a vast amount of 'peace and quiet' due to my hearing impairment. Therefore Noise is something that I dislike very much and I wanted to allow the poster to come across as humorous, so when read the readers are most likely to stay silent and be alone with their thoughts. The poster was created using screen printing.

Lyddle End 2050 - Environment Agency All-terrain Office
In the world of the future, workers will make their offices where they want. Except for those who have to have to use specific equipment, or whose work takes place in specific areas. Agents of the Environment Agency, for example, must monitor wild areas, waterways and other difficult-to-access regions. In this case, a small pre-war shop has been modified with appropriate sensors, hydraulics and a track-laying all-terrain system. While it lives within the normal village when idle, it can move into the countryside to survey local waterways, marshes and other wildlands, with the full resources and comfort of the local survey office.
Photoshopped versions to come when I have the time.

BUILT ENVIRONMENT NETWORKING - HELD THE FIRST LONDON EVENT AT THE CENTRAL HALL IN WESTMINSTER.©RUSSELL SACH - 0771 882 6138
The MARS Team joined the New York Restoration Project (NYRP) on April 13 for a planting and stewardship project at Highbridge Park!
Rushes and other wetland plants grows in a major stream restoration completed in late 2024 that extends roughly 2,600 feet along a tributary of the Severn River known as Jabez Branch III 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."

Sado estuary, Setúbal, Portugal.
This population has only 26 individuals, and is in need of stringent conservation measures to survive. Aren't they beautiful?

This jaw-dropper is the oldest complete folk art environment in the United States, creating a creative epicenter in this rural Kansas town. OK, it's not exactly the exact Garden in the Bible, but Samuel P. Dinsmoor began pouring forth his vision in 1907 when, at the age of 64, he completed his Log Cabin Home, built from native limestone. Then, using the newest building compound of its day--concrete--he spent the next 18 years surrounding his house with a narrative sculpture garden.
Alberta’s Minister of Environment and Protected Areas Rebecca Schulz announced, from Lafarge Exshaw, an hour west of Calgary, on October 16, 2024, programs to help industry reduce emissions, turn waste into energy, and increase operational efficiency.
Alberta’s government and industry are stepping up and setting an example for the world, investing in two new programs to help more industrial and manufacturing companies reduce emissions, re-use waste and keep powering the world. In partnership with Lafarge Canada, the province will launch a program to expand the use of recycled spare tires and will invest $10 million in a second program to help industry save on their energy bills.
New Tire-Derived Fuel Pilot Project :
Alberta is launching a Tire-Derived Fuel pilot to test the effectiveness of turning old, worn-out tires into energy to power industrial facilities. Led by the Alberta Recycling Management Authority (ARMA), the pilot will turn up to 1.5 million used tires into up to 15,750 tonnes of chips that will become tire-derived fuel in the coming months.
Lafarge Canada’s new Low-Carbon Fuel Facility will participate in the pilot project. They have the equipment needed to burn waste-derived fuels, reducing their use of natural gas. Results from the pilot will be used to help determine whether tire-derived fuel should be permanently added to the province’s existing Tire Recycling Program.
New Strategic Energy Management for Industry Program :
Alberta’s government is also investing $10 million from the industry-funded Technology Innovation and Emissions Reduction (TIER) fund to help launch the new Strategic Energy Management for Industry program, open for applications on Oct. 17.
Delivered through Emissions Reduction Alberta, the program will cover the cost of energy assessments and capital retrofits to save Alberta-based industrial and manufacturing facilities money on their energy bills. It will also provide energy management training, knowledge sharing and technical support.
Agriculture, forestry, fishing, hunting, mining, oil and gas, and cement companies will all be eligible for funding. Additional funding will also be provided by the Government of Canada and announced soon. More information will be shared on Emissions Reduction Alberta’s website.
New Low-Carbon Fuel Facility :
Thanks in part to $10 million in TIER funding delivered through Emissions Reduction Alberta, Lafarge Canada has opened a cutting-edge Low-Carbon Fuel Facility that will replace up to 50 per cent of the natural gas it uses with low-carbon fuel from construction demolition waste. This will keep up to 120,000 tonnes of construction and demolition materials out of landfills and produce up to 30,000 fewer tonnes of emissions. (photography by Chris Schwarz/Government of Alberta)
