In some ways, this is the brother book to 'Earth Girl' which I posted earlier. Teen boy becomes environmentally aware, and takes it upon himself to make a stand for his beliefs. He becomes famous for his actions, but learns that sometimes fame and infamy are not what they're cracked up to be in the face of growing into the world and dealing with life and loss.
I really liked this book - teen boy was believable and likeable, and the plot was realistic. And I cried at the end of the book. That doesn't happen often with me. AT ALL.
Recommended for 9th grade and up.

⚡️ The climate continues to deliver unexpected and dangerous surprises. We often fail to grasp the full consequences of weather anomalies — until they strike. The past week, from February 5 to 11, was a stark reminder of this reality.
❗️ Once again, these events prove that humanity knows far too little about the changing climate and is ill-prepared for extreme natural anomalies. Could drivers in Russia have predicted that an anticyclone would bring unexpected mechanical failures? And that’s just a minor issue compared to the real dangers ahead.
📣 As climate disasters escalate, hidden risks will multiply. We must unite global scientific expertise to understand the deeper causes of the climate crisis, uncover all its hidden dangers, and — most importantly — find a way to solve it before it’s too late.

The Splash Festival was held on Chambers Island on the Maroochy River. The theme was environmental awareness of the riverine landscape. In Maroochydore on the Sunshine Coast, Queensland, Australia.
All lit up, a building illuminated, a typical sight at night in Abu Dhabi (except during Earth Hour).
A screen of steel with a waterfall pouring down its face, bluring images of the arctic (and strangely a naked pregnant woman walking about) projected onto the moving surface. In marked contrast to the warmth of the upper reading room of the Bodleian glowing above.

Conceptual art: drinking the lilypond dry
I've been cooking-up the idea for this photo for a couple of days - the sort of preparation that goes into it involves
1) choosing one of the mugs with darker interior
2) filling it with milk in order to give a white surface
3) reusing the milk for one's breakfast
4) tracking down sandpaper from the basement
5) shooting HDR landscape for the distant hills plus zoomed images of the foreground lilies
6) much use of rawtherapee to process everything, enfuse for the HDRs, about 3 hours in the Gimp doing fancy trickery such as lifting the milk surface out of the mug and using it as a mask to reveal the lilypond underneath, blending in the sandpaper versus landscape, etc
4) luminancehdr to tonemap the blighter, evening-out the local contrast
5) darktable for black&white conversion, haziness and toning.
All done with open-source software. This we like.
Castaways Sculpture Awards is an annual art competition that has been running since 2008. Castaways combines the theme of recycling and environmental awareness with the creative re-use of materials and innovative sculpture.
The exhibition highlights two areas of great importance to the City: providing and supporting arts and cultural opportunities for residents; and raising the profile of recycling and environmental sustainability.
Castaways creates opportunities for emerging artists to showcase their artworks alongside established professional Artists. More than 15,000 visitors attend the exhibition each year, with more than 50 sculptures gracing the Rockingham foreshore.
Today Tiny decided to pin himself to the noticeboard to take a stand towards a greener future. Paloetic is not sure how long he will sustain his peaceful demonstration, but it may end in recycling of tiny pictures ....

LEAP hosted a beach party this weekend just in time for the end of summer. Students played volleyball and ate vegetables from the College's garden.

A charging station sign indicates reserved parking for electric vehicles under a clear blue sky, with green hills visible in the distance. The area looks bright and welcoming.
This used to be a lovely old (slightly rotting) bench, barely 20 yards' walk from the carpark, on which one could sit and feed chaffinches from one's hands.
*This* is what the Forestry Commission think is a bench - a pointless lump of wood, upon which one cannot conceivably sit, and neither sight nor sound of chaffinches. What a stupid mess.
Fail.
Biloxi - where most of the shrimp boats were docked...this was after the oil spill on the Gulf of Mexico. Most of the yachts seen here were registered outside of the US for tax "saving" purposes.
It is winter in the U.A.E. people are out in the desert and mountains and leaving so much waste.
So this was our 3rd Clean-up action. We know we won't be able to clean all places, but we want people to realize what they are doing to the planet.
It is truly a disgrace what people leave behind (for others to clean up? )! Unfortunately also companies either dumping their waste or just leaving materials behind wherever they are working.
Thank you very much to everyone who participated
We even made it to the newspapers:

A very bad picture of my daughter with Sheryl Crow--my daughter manages to meet every celebrity she goes to see (see her with the Governor, the same set)--she also managed to get interviewed for Sheryl Crow's documentary--I forgot what it is about...?

Chicago has this great public art exhibit going right now called Cool Globes: Hot Ideas for a Cooler Planet. Artists from around the world participated in creating more than 120 of these globes (all roughly the same size and scale) to promote environmental awareness. I wish I'd have been smart enough to write down the artists and titles of these to give them appropriate credit, but I wasn't (it was 90 degrees and very, very, very muggy outside...my brain wasn't workin'!). These are a few of my favorite of the globes. Each one is presented and described on individual plaques around the base of each...these plaques not only list the idea behind each piece and the artist, but also tips to get yourself involved in cooling our planet. It's a great exhibit...if you're in the Chicago area any time soon, you should really check it out!!
