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.

"The Sagip Ilog (River Rehabilitation) program was launched on 13 December 2002 for Las Piñas-Zapote River System that stretches 56km. The programme designated 30km for regularly cleaning. This involves daily collection of floating garbage, and installation of steel garbage traps/wiremesh strainers in the Las Piñas and Zapote rivers to filter the waste/debris."

BLAYAH TOWN, LIBERIA: Aug. 30, 2017 - The Jogbahn Clan fought against the British-owned company Equatorial Palm Oil (EPO) when they tried to take over their land in 2013. The people in the community depend on the land for their livelihoods. The Sustainable Development Institute (SDI) started to help the community by submitting a formal complaint to the to the Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO). SDI taught the clan about land rights and resisting with non-violence. THE RSPO determined that the land EPO was using belonged to the clan. SGI trained the community how to map their land and boundaries were created that EPO accepted not to cross. Photo by Morgana Wingard

The African mountains stand out as areas with favourable climatic and ecological conditions, in contrast to the surrounding lowlands that are generally much drier. As a consequence of this, the total average population density in all African mountains is more than double the density of the lowlands. The driving economic forces now have better knowledge about and access to the rich natural resources in the mountains, including hydropower, minerals, timber and agricultural soils.
In Uganda, participants have visited Mount Elgon and communities on its slopes to observe emerging micro-climate changes, their causes and effects so to discuss coping mechanisms and suitable adaptation strategies.

Binadahn 7 is a new rice variety with a softer texture, but a good taste. It's also faster to grow and higher yielding than local varieties. Many farmers in Bangladesh are now growing new plant varieties developed by scientists at the Bangladesh Institute of Nuclear Agriculture (BINA). These scientists have worked closely with the IAEA to develop new plant varieties of crops, such as rice, peanuts, and beans, 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 high yields. These plants mean farmers can grow more food to feed their families and to sell at the market.

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.

Through a Green Fund investment, each Rweru Green Village household receives a pregnant cow. The cow provides milk for the family and the manure will be used to power biogas systems being installed in August 2016. The cow sheds were also built as a result of the fund's investment. This cow shed can accommodate 138 cows.

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

Permaculture comes with beekeeping here too (right side of this image). You can see the apartment blocks in the background. It is across the street from the congress center in the other direction. Literally in the middle of town... and yet they are an example of sustainable living and thinking. With the world population converging on cities more and more, it is essential, in my opinion to try living sustainably. (More about this event and their group later in a flickr set with more images). Oh, and the home grown food was delicious. / This is an example of how sustainable development can be implemented in an urban context too.

Sand dams provide a year-round source of water so people do not have to spend long hours during the drought season collecting water from far away. The water is much cleaner, having been filtered through the sand and protected from parasites, so children are less likely to get ill. Instances of typhoid and diarrhoea are virtually eliminated.
