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

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.

"Tiyama Hospital is located in Moyamba, a rural district in Southern Sierra Leone which lies approximately 150km from the capital, Freetown. Tiyama is just one of many health centres being supported by UNICEF and their local partner Safer Future across Sierra Leone. A solar powered handpump has been built, which now provides enough clean water to allow clean drinking water, pour flush toilets and multiple handwashing facilities to support the entire hospital as well as neighboring communities."

Worker in the Aberdare Mountains. As the farmland is located on a hillside, it is susceptible to erosion during heavy rains. This farm 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.

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.

A farmer shows dried corn ears that he has been saving for his cattle feed. He has four dairy cattle in the bamboo shack to his left.
The excrement - the cow dung - will be fed into a biogas methane digester, then with simple tubings feeds into his stove. He has a digester planted in the ground (see just above his left shoulder).
It cost $170 to make the system work and it is quickly paying off. He does not need to gather wood fire or buy expensive kerosin - which cost him $100/year.
His family is now self-sufficient in providing energy for cooking.
