There's bins at work for plastic bottles, like milk bottles etc, and a general bin for everything else. The change from the swing bin top is not popular, it's a lot more hassle to take a lid on and off, so often the lid is just left ajar so we can all inhale the scent of rubbish. But some individuals go further, defying the idea of recycling plastic altogether in a brave stand against us stupid eco-hippies.

Sustainable Design experts at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) work with federal and private sector clients to optimize the performance of the built environment through an integrated systems approach balancing environmental, economic and social considerations. In this photo, the setting is the adjoined Biological Sciences Facility and Computational Sciences Facility, recently constructed “green” buildings at PNNL that benefited from the Laboratory’s sustainable design expertise.

Town of 1770 is the port from which access to Lady Musgrave Island and also Fitzroy Reef is achieved.
Some History of Town of 1770 and Bustard Bay
Bustard Bay was only the second port of call after Botany Bay (Sydney) for Captain James Cook on his legendary voyage of discovery up the East Coast of Australia in 1770.
Bustard Bay is between Bundaberg and Gladstone, and the town which later sprung up there is today known as 'The Town of I770'.
Town of 1770 has a significant place in Queensland history since it is the first place of European landing on Queensland soil, and therefore is regarded as the 'birthplace of Queensland'. A monument at Round Hill Head commemorates the landing. Bustard Bay was so named by Cook because they shot,cooked, and ate a large sea bird here,paying it the honour of naming the bay after it.
Today (2009), since the relatively recent sealing of the road, nearby Agnes Waters, and the port village -Town of 1770, have blossomed into idyllic tourist resort towns for many tourists seeking to visit the Great Barrier Reef coral cay, Lady Musgrave Island, Fitzroy Reef, Pancake Creek and the historic Bustard Heads lighthouse.
The Town of 1770 is one of only a few places in Australia where the sun sets in the west over water and the Caravan and Camping area on the shores of the small inlet just inside Bustard Bay is therefore an ideal place to experience the natural beauty of this tranquil estuary.
Some interesting Info on Captain James Cook
Cook left Bustard Bay after a stay of only one day on 25th May 1770 and continued north in his ship The HMS Bark - Endeavour till on June 11th 1770 their ship struck a reef forcing them to shelter and undertake repairs in the mouth of what they subsequently named the Endeavour River at Cooktown before heading back to England.
Cook subsequently made another 2 voyages to the Pacific and on the latter fateful journey on 14th February, 1779 Cook was killed in Kealakekua Bay in Hawaii as a result of a cultural misunderstanding by the islanders as to Cook's intentions in relation to the sovereinty of the islands ruling chiefs.
(Cook was believed to be the exiled god Lono-pele returning inappropriately outside the time of the annual ritual alternation of the Ku and Lono Gods. Cook therefore presented a threat to the Ku god worshipping ruling chiefs of the time.)
Note - The Great Barrier Reef includes over 2900 reefs, around 940 islands and cays, and stretches 2300 kms along the Queensland coastline from about Bundaberg,a few hours north of Brisbane, to the tip of Cape York.

John Smith, son of Harry Leslie Smith, addressing a group of people behind City Hall in Belleville, Ontario during a Climate Strike event.
One of a series of photographs taken at the Climate Strike event held in Belleville, Ontario, on 20 September 2019.
3 minute exposure on this one using the B&W (10 stop) Neutral Density filter.
Two exposures were created using the single raw file (one for the sky and one for the foreground). The two files were blended together in Photoshop using layer masks and adjustments made with the curves, hue/saturation and sharpening tools.
Rowan had a geode kit in storage for a while that he had gotten as a gift in the past, and he finally opened them up outside! The results were quite pretty!
Geodes are lovely and fascinating, but we should also consider the environmental impacts of geode mining:

Sampling boat at location close to Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station.
IAEA experts visited Japan from 8 to 14 September 2014 and -- together with staff from NRA and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs -- collected water samples from the sea at five locations near TEPCO's Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station,
The water samples were shared both between the IAEA Environmental Laboratories and the Japanese Laboratories to e=be analyzed independently.

Series of Photographs for my University project of 'Environments'. I've chosen to look at the natural human body, with aspects of a natural landscape brought into the photos.
With the passage of time, people are getting more concerned about the overall environment; and it is certainly a positive thing. When it comes to the factors which have been causing contamination in the environment, #packaging materials can be placed on the top of the list. Packaging wastes contribute to a majority of total wastes which have been hazardous for the environment for so long.
Good thing is that both #customers and #manufacturers are now paying attention to reducing the packaging waste. While the mechanism of dealing with the existing packaging wastes does its job, it is pretty important to make sure that manufacturers and customers do their part of work to reduce this packaging waste. In this article, we are going to discuss a much needed packaging mechanism, i.e. Reduce, Reuse and Recycle.
Reduced packaging
Reducing the amount and number of packaging materials doesn’t only help in saving environment but it is an option that can help in lowering the overall packaging costs. An example in this regard is of the stretch wrap. You can switch to the use of a lower #micron #stretchwrap which can reduce the need of the use of stretch wrap. With the help of a 12-micron high performance machine film, you can improve load containment and package stability.
If you want to make the process even more efficient and cost effective, you can consider using automated stretch wrap machine. With the help of this machine, you can reduce packaging wastes.
Reuse
An example of the packaging feature which can be reused is the plastic pallet. This pallet may be made of plastic but it is highly reliable, reusable and reliable due to the type of material and the specific shape of the pallet. Hence, they turn out to be even more effective than their wooden counterparts.
Since they are made of plastic, they are easier to clean and they are lightweight enough to make the movement easy. You can stack them anywhere in the warehouse. And since you are using a high quality plastic instead of woods, you are essentially doing your part of work in saving the environment.
Recycle
Although there are many packaging options available now but the use of Cardboard BOxes is still one of the most popular options. Majority of items are packed in the cardboard boxes and containers before they are shipped. Cardboard, however, doesn’t last for too long as compared to other sustainable options. But it doesn’t mean that this material needs to become a part of the packaging waste. You can use cardboard shredders to make the unusable cardboard usable in a different way.

This collection presents a breathtaking journey through diverse terrestrial biomes, reimagining the raw beauty of our planet through a synthetic lens. From the ethereal golden mists of a waking forest and the crystalline clarity of alpine rivers to the jagged, volcanic scars of primordial lands and the vibrant, sun-drenched cathedrals of coral reefs. Each environment is a study in light, texture, and atmospheric depth, blending hyper-realistic detail with a touch of the sublime. These landscapes explore the intersection of classical nature photography aesthetics and the boundless possibilities of modern generative tools, offering a contemplative look at worlds both familiar and imagined.

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.
