On Monday, after dropping my son off at the Airport in his shiny black Chevy Volt I hung out in Winthrop to avoid the morning rush traffic into Boston. I headed in around 10am to US Fed District Court to pick up a Pass for Media coverage of the same. I turned left on Farnsworth thinking it was a through street. Instead it was a dead end with RCN on the right and what? on the left. I tried both ends for another outlet out. Then turned around heading a right turn out onto Farnsworth. Whatever happened that I did not see this short pile of cones was beyond me., In a split second it seemed I was hearing sounds no one wants to hear. I backed up and knew there had been some serious damage., OMG what a shame. I think it was the sun coming over the buildings as the only shot I have here is from an hour or so later and it was still piercing down pretty bright. I saw nothing. I was so shocked and saddened. My journey into the City was so pleasant driving slowly from 99 to South Station. I thought that was a cool way to come in again . I had never tried that and I loved that route. Then this happened. I had fire police ambulance tow trucks and me delivered to a Body Shop in Revere I had experience with before by 3pm I was ready to bus it home. Got home at 800pm. What a day you don't want to happen. The Fire Department said this never should have been there and removed the 36inch pipe putting it against the wall. They stuffed the cones into the hole and then the police showed up. The police paid a visit to the building 46 Farnsworth and that manager came out and stated the property was owned by Boston Globe or Sustainable Development. Whoever stuffed that pipe into the hole was what I call meathead anonymous. I will forever be ungrateful for that move. Can you hear plastic crunching and metal scraping and grimy fluid draining like blood on the gound? Sad Sad Sad

Director of the Earth Institute at Columbia University, he was the main speaker at the launch event for Consilience: the Journal of Sustainable Development. The unique, student-run publication is one of the first in the world of its kind, attempting to bring an interdisciplinary perspective on issues like poverty and environment.
Workers preparing an experimental field for a new rice variety at the Bangladesh Institute of Nuclear Agriculture (BINA). BINA scientists have worked closely with the IAEA to develop new plant varieties of crops, such as rice, using nuclear and other conventional plant breeding techniques. These new plant varieties are selected for their improved traits, such as shorter growing times, better tolerance to salty soils, and higher yields. These plants mean farmers can grow more food to feed their families and to sell at the market.

IMO Secretary-General Kitack Lim has highlighted the Organization’s strong commitment to helping achieve the UN SustainableDevelopment Goals and explained how shipping and ports can play a significant role in helping to create conditions for increased employment, prosperity and stability through the promotion of maritime trade. Mr. Lim was speaking at a seminar as part of celebrations in Veracruz, Mexico (21-22 August) focused on IMO’s World Maritime Day theme for 2017 –"Connecting Ships, Ports and People".
The Secretary-General also discussed IMO measures to reduce harmful emissions from ships, the management of ballast water and goal-based standards. He was hosted by the Secretary of the Navy (SEMAR), Admiral Commander in Chief Vidal Francisco Soberón Sanz, who introduced the strategy and capabilities of the Mexican Maritime Authority.
The seminar was attended by the maritime authorities of Argentina, Chile, Panama and the United States, as well as representatives from the Tokyo Memorandum of Understanding on Port State Control, World Maritime University (WMU) in Sweden, the IMO International Maritime Law Institute (IMLI) in Malta, and various national government ministries.
The celebrations also included an opportunity for participants to observe a search and rescue exercise and to visit Mexico’s Naval Academy.

Living Earth Foundation has been working in Nigeria since 1996, previously in partnership with the Living Earth Nigeria Foundation (LENF).
Living Earth Foundation has primarily worked in two key states in Nigeria; Bayelsa and Cross River State, located in the heart of the Niger River Delta on the southern coast of Nigeria. The Delta region is one of Nigeria’s most biodiversity rich areas; its mangrove forest is the largest in Africa and the third largest in the world. The area also contains Nigeria’s main oil reserves and since the discovery of oil in the region in 1956, major infrastructural developments including the building of roads and pipelines, along with an influx of migrant workers have taken place. Two million people now live in Bayelsa State and this, along with on-going development, is greatly impacting on the Delta’s ecosystem.
The natural resources of the Niger Delta are vital to the livelihoods of communities living there; communities generate income through livelihoods including farming, hunting, fishing and trading in forest products. As the oil industry has expanded, increased immigration and access to forests and fisheries has resulted in an over exploitation and unsustainable use of the Delta’s natural resources, threatening the livelihoods of the inhabitants in the area.
Living Earth’s community development and environmental education work enables communities to identify and address environmental problems whilst learning to manage their own resources.

The NEA imposes pollution control requirements on all industrial developments to prevent, reduce and control pollution. Major industrial developments are required to carry out pollution control studies to assess all sources of pollution and to recommend mitigating measures that can be incorporated into the design and operation of the developments.

Conférence "Valoriser le digestat - Intégrer l’apport des digestats dans les pratiques agricoles" par Sylvain Frédéric à Pollutec Horizons 2013, Paris Nord Villepinte, Village Biogaz.
Décembre 2013.
The cost of disasters were summed up last night in dollars lost, people displaced, lives lost as one would expect at a meeting hosted by Columbia University with the theme "From Sendai to Rio -- Cultivating a Disaster-Resilient Society for Sustainable Development."
However, what also shone through in this major debate on the theme of disaster risk reduction in advance of the Rio+20 conference, were the unexpected ways in which disasters can affect our lives driven by new forces which Dr. Jeffrey Sachs, Director of the Earth Institute, said "we are not ready for."

Hornbills are large birds and there are only 54 species of them worldwide. There has been no record of the breeding of this hornbill species in Singapore since at least 1855, although birds have occasionally been spotted in Singapore up until the 1920s.
Therefore, it was indeed surprising to find the Oriental Pied Hornbill breeding in Pulau Ubin in 1997, as they require large trees for their nest holes. The hornbill population has grown since they started breeding naturally in Pulau Ubin and NParks currently monitors around 45 to 50 hornbills around Pulau Ubin and the Changi area.
