Combating climate change and making the planet greener and cleaner is an issue for everyone. 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 and other environmental impacts would have such an impact on world hunger and poverty. 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. 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.
Climate change is expected to put an estimated 50 million more people at risk of hunger and water stress by 2020. 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. Agriculture and deforestation account for 30 per cent of greenhouse gas emissions. These two sectors can therefore contribute to reducing emissions if agricultural practices are changed.
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.
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.
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.

So close no matter how far
Couldn't be much more from the heart
Forever trusting who we are
And nothing else matters
Never opened myself this way
Life is ours, we live it our way
All these words I don't just say
And nothing else matters
Trust I seek and I find in you
Every day for us something new
Open mind for a different view
And nothing else matters
Never cared for what they do
Never cared for what they know
But I know
So close no matter how far
It couldn't be much more from the heart
Forever trusting who we are
And nothing else matters
Never cared for what they do
Never cared for what they know
But I know
I never opened myself this way
Life is ours, we live it our way
All these words I don't just say
And nothing else matters
Trust I seek and I find in you
Every day for us something new
Open mind for a different view
And nothing else matters
Never cared for what they say
Never cared for games they play
Never cared for what they do
Never cared for what they know
And I know
So close no matter how far
Couldn't be much more from the heart
Forever trusting who we are
No, nothing else matters

Black Lives Matter Silent March, in the rain. Mostly white, almost totally silent, 100% masked.

This sign is painted on a door in an alleyway beside Party Downtown in Eugene, Lane County, Oregon, USA.
Since I did a Walmart photo a day early, that leaves Wednesday open for another I-269/McIngvale interchange update. Honestly, to someone not from around these parts this probably looks kind of all the same no matter which direction you're going! But for posterity purposes, the three photos for this time were all taken travelling in the westbound direction.
No matter what you are doing,
ask for guidance.
It saves time and energy and
often a lifetim of misery.

Although we don't like to admit it, guys compare sizes!
It doesn't matter what it is and we all know it. Car engines, model trains, garden hoses, it doesn't matter and we all know it. Guys compare sizes and bigger is always better.
In this case it's one of the valves from the ships engine that these fellows were sizing up. Just looking at this I can imagine the thoughts these fellows are having....
#1. "Yeah that's just like my valve, nice and straight".
#2. "I remember when my valve was that big".
#3. "My valve is only this big but it still works great"!
#4. "Hope my valve still works when I get to your age".
A contest that has gone on since the beginning and has no sign of ever stopping.
I actually got to have a nice conversation with one of the engineers about the ship's propulsion and my Navy experiences. I tried to wrangle a trip down to the engineroom control but unfortunately got denied. Security reasons don't you know...
The different departments on the ship put items on display in the atrium, highlighting the best features of their department. There were displays from engineering, medical, catering, housekeeping, etc. Gives the passengers an opportunity to see what goes on behind the scenes and shows exactly what it takes to keep the ship running shipshape.
For those in the Show Your EXIF group you should note that the actual lens used is a Tamron AF 18-200mm F/3.5-6.3 Di-II VC All-in-One Zoom for Canon APS-C Digital SLR. It's a well known issue and for some crazy reason it always shows up as a Canon TS-E 90mm f/2.8, a lens I've never owned or used!

" The paper says the whole world is on fire. But this street is quiet... "
I hope as things start to feel a little less raw, we don't forget the way the last week has felt. The anger may fade, and so might your shame, but the determination to fix things should not fall from your conscious. Continue to provide support and messaging in the ways that you can. Continue to support businesses owned and operated by people of color. Continue to donate, and keep these issues front of mind when you vote in November and every opportunity after that. The establishments that are in power in this country want you to feel satiated and content again so that they can continue business as normal. Our attention span is one of the largest threats to equality and justice in this country.
This photo challenge is a selfish endeavor. It's solely about myself and my goals. This hasn't been the time for me to focus on me, and I shouldn't be trying to make myself the center of attention. The world outside is much more important. This prompt was "Your Neighborhood".
