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.

Rio de Janeiro, looking very different than looking from its main touristy beaches.
Note the new cable car connection, perhaps a controversial project, claiming to provide connections to the citizens of the favelas and reduce crime. Nevertheless, it was with little sign of locals, when we were there. A curiosity among an neighbourhood, which is lacking many basic facilities for a quality life. Its building costs are said to reach 210 million R$ (1 R$ = 0,39 €, 6/2012).
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 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."

From intensifying hurricanes to melting icecaps, climate change is causing unprecedented disruption around the globe.
And it is the largest single threat to sustainable development.
Our region, Eastern Europe and Central Asia, is no exception. In the last three decades alone, floods, droughts and melting glaciers have caused 50,000 fatalities, affected nearly 25 million people and resulted in over US$80 billion in damage.
In Belarus, we helped build the country’s biggest wind-farm. Wind energy could help Belarus become energy-independent by 2050.

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
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.

Singapore has a rich biodiversity for an island of its size. As a comparison, Singapore, which is 0.2% the size of UK, has some 360 species of birds or 60% of the number of species found in the UK. This is despite us having a vibrant economy, one of the highest population densities in the world, and no countryside or hinterland.
To promote and enhance biodiversity, NParks is developing an action plan – the Singapore National Biodiversity Strategy and Action Plan – to conserve our natural heritage for the next 10-15 years.

Eight years ago Kenbesh Mengesha earned an uncertain income collecting firewood from local government forests and selling them to her fellow slum-dwellers in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. She would earn on average about 50 cents a day, if she was lucky.
