Na de UBC ging het baanvak Breda-Tilburg dicht vanwege een aanrijding met persoon en bleven de aangekondigde cargo's in Breda wachten. Een mooi moment om naar de werkzaamheden tussen Lage Zwaluwe en Roosendaal te gaan om de Fraai herschilderde Rail Experts 6703 te zoeken. Die werd uiteindelijk in Oudenbosch gevonden en kon na enig wachten gefotografeerd worden op de tijdelijke losplaats voor de vervuilde ballast.
This is a collective of women weavers who are also part of a Parents' support group, parents who have come together to support girls to stay in school, in partnership with the educational charity CAMFED. It was mesmerising to watch them weave; a lifetime of practice and a craft tradition that each individual adds their own expression to.

He was holding his DSLR camera out in front of him, framing his photos in the LCD screen rather than the viewfinder. Nothing wrong with that.
Combating climate change and making the planet greener and cleaner is an issue for everyone. Climate change is no longer a distant, futuristic scenario, but an immediate threat. How times have changed since World Environment Day was launched by the United Nations General Assembly 36 years ago. We wonder if they considered then that today climate change, global warming, natural disasters and the effects of global climate change --- deforestation, desertification, flooding, sea-level rise, beach erosion and other environmental impacts would have such an impact on world hunger and poverty.
Climate change is expected to put an estimated 50 million more people at risk of hunger and water stress by 2020. By 2050 a third of the people on Earth may lack a clean, secure source of water. It poses a serious threat to the achievement of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), especially during a period of global economic recession, when resources needed to cope with climate change may be reassigned.
Poor people in developing countries are the most vulnerable to the effects of climate change. The negative impacts on their crop yields are already being felt and will be increasingly severe. Climate change is likely to affect forest expansion and migration, and exacerbate threats to biodiversity resulting from land use/cover change and population pressure. Marine and coastal ecosystems are likely to be affected by sea level rise and temperature increases. Human health will also be adversely affected. Rising temperatures and rainfall variability had led to more climate-induced diseases and heat stress. Experts predict climate change-related stresses -- including disasters, food and water shortages and conflicts over scarce resources -- could permanently uproot 200 to 250 million people by mid-century. In many countries defence forces might find themselves torn between humanitarian relief operations and guarding their borders against climate refugees, as climate change and scarce resources, forcing millions of climate refugees across the borders.
United Nations demographers estimate that the world’s population will grow from today’s 6.7 billion people to somewhere between 7.8 billion and 10.8 billion by 2050. The solutions of global warming, climate refugees, extreme poverty and high levels of population growth will require entirely new relationships between the world’s human and natural systems. The world has yet to figure out how it will deal with global warming, changing rainfall patterns, melting glaciers, rising sea-levels and climate refugees.
According to new technique and research our planet's continents were arranged 2.5 billion years ago. We are homo consumens of the earth and very young specie still trying to understand the mysteries of nature and in our ignorance we have destroyed it. Climate change offers humanity no second chances. Only rich countries can break the deadlock crippling international climate negotiations and prevent the world lurching into climate disaster. We should find a way to measure the general well-being of the people and planet rather than just raw economic growth.

Like the carbon footprint, water footprints are one of the latest methods scientists and policy makers are using to assess humanity's impact on the planet. And now businesses are starting to use water footprinting as well.
