A tableau of roughly 150 indigenous petroglyphs made up to 1,000 years ago appear on Little Indian Rock in the Susquehanna River in Lancaster County, Pa., on Oct. 6, 2020. Made by an Algonquin-speaking group known as the Shenks Ferry people, many petroglyphs on a stretch of the Susquehanna were flooded by dam construction decades ago, but sites like Big and Little Indian Rock are now on the National Register of Historic Places.

Language not only communicates, it defines culture, nature, history, humanity, and ancestry. The indigenous languages of the Arctic have been formed and shaped in close contact with their environment. They are a valuable source of information and a wealth of knowledge on human interactions with nature is encoded in these languages. If a language is lost, a world is lost. This deep knowledge and interconnections is expressed in Arctic song, subsistence practices, and other cultural expressions but especially in place names across the Arctic. Place names of the indigenous peoples reflect subsistence practices, stories, dwelling sites, spawning sites, migratory routes of animals, and links to the sacred realms of the indigenous peoples of the north. This map presents the original languages of the respective indigenous peoples, even if they do not speak their languages today. Notes: Overlapping populations are not shown. The map does not claim to show exact boundaries between the individual language groups. Typical colonial populations, which are not traditional Arctic populations, are not shown (Danes in Greenland, Russians in the Russian Federation, non-native Americans in North America).

For a better environment in the year 2023, I made a small initiative by planting 5 saplings given to me by my friend who is a Forest Officer in the Butterfly Park in Trichy and I motivated the villagers to plant more “ Banyan trees “ so that the coming generations will breathe fresh air and will be benefitted very much. The photos were captured with this vision in mind. .. Please save Nature and safely hand it over to our next generation. Plant more Banyan trees as they sustain many lives. Thanks.

Child-friendly hall. Coat hooks are positioned at the child eye's level, that he can easily reach by himself. His shoes and hats in the separate basket are on the floor, so that they can be easily accessed.
I would love to hear what you think. Thanks!
This world is too beautiful to be destroyed for our daily needs !!
On this World Environment day, I pledge to :
- Check and fix all leaking taps and pipes in my home.
- Avoid all electricity wastage by:
o Switch off electrical appliances when not in active use
o Put mobile/battery chargers off the plug point and not to leave appliances in standby mode to save the electricity from "vampire power".
o Switch off computer mointors at home/office when not in use.
- Avoid using vehicles when I can walk.
- Reduce usage of papers.
- Create awareness about conserving environment in people around me.
Conserve or Perish ... we are left with only two options now !!
Share your ideas/plans/actions for saving our Earth on this Environment day.
Julie Lawson, Director of Trash Free Maryland, and Stiv Wilson, Campaign Director of The Story of Stuff Project, lead a research effort to collect microplastic samples from the Chesapeake Bay in Maryland on Sept. 4, 2015. The team used a manta trawl for the study, which sought to find out how much plastic waste is in the Chesapeake Bay, what kinds of plastic it is, and where it is coming from.

Sylhet, Bangladesh. 22 December 2012. Ready for create raw materials and sell to other hand. Plastic recycling factory, Sylhet, Bangladesh.
The number of poor people is increasing day by day in Bangladesh, Economic and social disparities level is in the earth to sky. The poor become poorer and Rich people are richer. Nearly 60% of people live below the poverty limit in the village areas in Bangladesh. Some Poverty victim women and their family come to the big cities and do day laborer works in the small enterprises like plastic recycling factories which is harmful for health. But they have to work in these unhealthy work environments, for surviving their livelihood by earning daily wages of 100 to120 taka. (USD 1.2-1.4).
“Tokai”, Known as street children, A large group of child worker, they always search for saleable and recyclable Plastic Materials from dirt, garbage, roads, the dock and from pedestrian walkways. There are mid level shops where they sell their daily stocks. After that these plastics transferred to the recycle places for further process. There are some groups of people working to separate the different colors of the bottle, cutting, washing, drying and packaging. Some collect oil from destroyed bottle for their self.
Plastic packaging and plastic rings, Plastic bags for more plastic things,
Plastic bottles for the water you drink, But plastic causes death so stop and think!
Millions of sea birds and turtles painfully die, after eating plastic that floats on by,
Plastic thrown away and out of reach, Ends up as plastic sand on a plastic beach,
Plastic sold for consumer cash, Fills our oceans with plastic trash.
Recycling is the future of waste disposal. Plastic recycling is the process of recovering scrap or waste plastic and reprocessing the material into useful products, sometimes completely different in form from their original state. For instance, this could mean melting down soft drink bottles and then casting them as plastic chairs and tables. Typically a plastic is not recycled into the same type of plastic, and products made from recycled plastics are often not recyclable. Photo by Md. Akhlas Uddin/Pacific Press
The goal of integration should be to make the environment easy to use by offering the highest possible level of synergy between the elements that constitute the environment.

The United Nations Environment Program (UNEP) has been involved in incredible environmental outreach services since 1972. Though they do an amazing job on their own of educating curious world citizens through their extensive and detailed website and programs, various celebrities have volunteered to stand alongside them to support their cause.
Supermodel Gisele Bundchen, and Academy Award nominee, Don Cheadle have both been appointed as ambassadors for UNEP, exuding great effort to help bring awareness and support to the important work UNEP is doing.
Loyal Studios in Santa Monica was proud to lend its studio to Bundchen and Cheadle, having had previously worked with Cheadle on a commercial in January, 2011–co-produced by Loyal Studios owner, Bob Bekian.
Their relationship continued when Cheadle formally asked Bekian to co-produce a spot for UNEP. Bekian happily donated his Santa Monica facility and production services, equipment, and crew for the project in support of Cheadle and Bundchen, and their cause.
“The added bonus was working with Gisele.” Bekian states. “She is super cool, very down-to-earth, and genuinely a nice person.” The shoot ran flawlessly, and everyone enjoyed the experience of working with such incredibly talented and kind artists. “Our goal is to make professional production fun,” Bekian says, “and we want to do our part to help our world become a better place.”
The UNEP’s mission statement is, “To provide leadership and encourage partnership in caring for the environment by inspiring, informing, and enabling nations and peoples to improve their quality of life without compromising that of future generations.”
Gisele, Don Cheadle, and Loyal Studios are focused on putting the word out on the importance of caring about what we use our Earth for, while working in conjunction with our natural ecosystems to create a sustainable green economy.

Achille Simonetti (1838-1900), sculptor - adb.anu.edu.au/biography/simonetti-achille-4580
NEWS OF THE DAY, The Sydney Morning Herald, Thursday 16 December 1880, p. 5: "The last of the triad of colossal freestone statues which Signor Simonetti was commissioned to carve for the decoration of the new Government offices, Macquarie-street, has been safely placed in its niche. "Wisdom," represented by Minerva, is the subject, and the conception was described in detail a month or two ago, when the model was completed; but in stone it looks far better than it did in clay. Then the majestic beauty of the Pallas Athene - the passionless goddess who was with the Greeks the embodiment of abstract knowledge - certainly impressed itself on the spectator, and the fidelity with which the sculptor worked out every detail which could amplify and extend his first idea excited admiration; but now, when the statue is raised about eighteen feet above the road level, and the gigantic proportions, which in the studio looked harsh and at times unjust, are viewed in their proper perspective, one recognises the beauty and truth of every line and curve, and Minerva is no longer a giantess, but "a daughter of the gods, divinely tall, and most divinely fair." "Justice," "Mercy," and "Wisdom'' will certainly add to Signor Simonetti's reputation for vigorous, graceful work." - trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/13484085
Rocky planets may be able to form in harsher environments than we thought. Webb detected key building blocks of planets, including water and carbon dioxide, in a rocky planet-forming zone being hit by extreme amounts of ultraviolet radiation.
Planets are formed from disks of gas, dust and rock surrounding stars. The specific disk Webb observed, XUE 1, is near several massive stars. These stars emit high levels of ultraviolet radiation, which scientists expected would disperse gas and break apart chemical molecules.
To the team’s surprise, Webb found partially crystalline silicate dust, plus various molecules (water, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, hydrogen cyanide, acetylene) that can form rocky planets. It’s the first time such molecules have been detected under these extreme conditions.

This image: This spectrum shows data from the protoplanetary disk termed XUE 1, which is located in the star cluster Pismis 24. The inner disk around XUE 1 revealed signatures of water (highlighted here in blue), as well as acetylene (C2H2, green), hydrogen cyanide (HCN, brown), and carbon dioxide (CO2, red). As indicated, some of the emission detected was weaker than some of the predicted models, which might imply a small outer disk radius.

[Image description: Graphic titled “XUE 1 Irradiated Protoplanetary Disk, MIRI Medium -Resolution Spectroscopy” shows a graph of brightness on the y-axis versus wavelength of light in microns on the x-axis. An arrow pointing down along the y-axis reads “dimmer;” arrow pointing up reads “brighter.” (There are no values or tick marks on the y-axis.) The x-axis ranges from 13.3 microns on the left to 15.5 microns on the right, labeled in even increments of 0.5 microns, starting at 13.5. A key in the upper right corner shows that model data are plotted in purple and Webb data are plotted in white. Both the model and data form jagged lines with numerous peaks and valleys. The model and data do not match perfectly, but the general trends align. Four sets of peaks are highlighted and labeled. (1) Acetylene, C 2 H 2—highlighted in green; centered around 13.7 microns. (2) Hydrogen Cyanide, H C N—brown; 14.0 microns. (3) Water, H 2 O—blue; 14.2 microns. (4) Carbon Dioxide, C O 2—bright red; 14.95 microns.]
