The main objective of the NEWater program is to provide a sustainable water source for Singapore’s population. NEWater is high-grade reclaimed water produced from treated used water that has undergone a stringent purification and treatment process using advanced dual-membrane (microfiltration and reverse osmosis) and ultraviolet technologies. While reclaiming used water is not a new concept, what is significant is
the successful wide-scale implementation and public engagement plan of NEWater along with its participatory practices and public education programmes, which have
allowed delivery of an exponentially successful service.

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

severe water scarcity, massive eutrophication and water pollution, the collapse of freshwater habitats and biodiversity, and the spreading of harmful invasive aquatic plants.
With amphibious multipurpose technology, it is possible to do more with less and solve water challenges in the most efficient, ecological, and economical way.
With its wide selection of quickly changeable attachments, the strong and versatile Watermaster cleans and maintains waterways by dredging, removes trash and invasive aquatic vegetation by excavating and raking, and reinforces shorelines by driving piles.
Watermaster is amphibious. It can reach and operate in challenging shallow water sites that are hard or impossible for conventional machinery to handle. It can walk in and out of the water without crane assistance and operate independently without tugboats, assisting vessels and separate anchors.
With Watermaster, you need fewer machines for work. It means more restored water bodies, fewer project costs, and shorter project times.

Joan Martinez Alier (Autonomous University of Barcelona) says that the concept of degrowth should be linked to that of the ecological debt. The historical debt that the developed world has built up by the ecological pillage of the countries in the South and unsustainable production and consumption patterns causing climate change and environmental and social damage.

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.
