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

Today, travelling is relatively easy in Singapore and our city remains congestion free.
But our roads already take up some 12% of our total land area. Our transport sector also accounts for about 13% of our overall energy consumption and 50% of the fine particles (specifically PM2.51) in the air.
Therefore, we have to plan ahead to ensure that our transport system is able to meet two important objectives in the future: lower environmental footprint and more convenient travel.

How a Small Tribe Turned Tragedy into Opportunity

PICHAVARAM, India, November 12, 2014 (IPS)—

The Secondary school covers 6 host-communities in the Zalingei region along with some children of nomad pastoralists. It serves 780 girls with 13 classrooms.
The Community-Driven Development grant covered the rehabilitation of 2 classrooms, the construction of 1 classroom and the construction and an office. The community contributed sand, soil, compact soil and water.
Before this there were more than 80 students in one classroom. This development helped to increase the attendance, as well as space for the existing students.

Day laborers working in a nursery for Melia volkensii. Seeds are sown into the ground and cultivated for several weeks; sprouted seedlings are collected for individual planting. Prized for its drought tolerance, this indigenous species is planted for the production of high quality timber even in semi-arid climates.

Farmer and co-founder of F3 Life in the Aberdare Mountains. As the farmland is located on a hillside, it is susceptible to erosion during heavy rains. This farmer collaborated with F3 Life, an eco-credit company, implementing climate-smart practices (e.g. establishing contour barriers) to minimize erosion in exchange for loans with preferred interest rates.

To send a strong message to world leaders, Heads of State and government negotiators WWF inflated a giant hot air balloon (28 metres high), covered in a large banner which reads "#GetSeRIOus+20" and "#LevemaSéRIO+20" at a key location on the way into the Rio Earth Summit. 19 June 2012, Rio De Janeiro, Brazil.
A wet day that never (quite) got so bad we gave up saw Manch. WDM /JDC group at Didsbury Festival. We collected cards to MPs mandating them to write to Nick Clegg expressing concerns about promoting the "financialising" of environmental commons at the Rio+20 UN Sustainable Development conference. Most of the cards were for the constituency MP John Leech (see yesterday's action) and these were taken to put through his office letterbox to underline the concerns delivered previously. Other MP's cards were also collected.
We also collected petition links for the "Jubilee for Justice" campaign, signatures for the End Dodgy Deals/ End Dictator Debt campaign, and distributed copies of JDC's last "Drop it!".
Not having sides on the Gazebo, a lot of paper got damp, little too damp.
In a short time when it wasn't raining too much an old friend and former colleague came for a chat and signed cards- but her son was a bit bashful about being photographed!
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."
