In 2010, Living Earth Foundation launched the pan African Waste to Wealth programme. The project responds to specific challenges faced by poor people living in urban slums in Africa.
The programme encourages all sectors of society to develop collaborative solutions to tackle the challenges of waste management. We support entrepreneurs, micro enterprises, social ventures and community groups to generate an income through waste recycling, and to develop public private partnerships with local government to improve waste collection and waste management in poor slum areas.
Living Earth’s Waste to Wealth programme is funded by the European Union, the UK Government’s Department for International Development and Comic Relief, and is currently active in Cameroon, Nigeria, Uganda and Sierra Leone.

SAVE THE CLIFF PATH: This is the clifftop mule path from Hydra to Kamini. Note the hoofprints.
The Hydra Council is planning to pave this path with cement or paving stones.
This would be a tragedy. It is exquisite. Truly one of the most beautiful walks.
You may wish to join the campaign to preserve it as an earth path.

This is a photo from the Silver River Springs in Ocala, Florida. There are three main spring heads, along with several smaller spring heads downstream that feed the Silver River. These spring heads discharge 550 million gallons of clean, drinkable water everyday! However, the quality of this water has slightly decreased over the years due to human impacts. The ecological concept that I want to focus on is environmental degradation. Humans have increased the amount of nitrates entering this river, which lowers the quality of the water. This increase in nitrates comes from fertilizers or wastewater from the surrounding springshed. This then directly affects aquatic life negatively in this river. The scenery and environment here is beautiful to the eye but it is being degraded by our very own actions. Florida relies on these spring heads to supply water to its residents and we can not allow our actions to further decrease the quality of this water. This ties into the United Nations sustainable development goal number 6, clean water and sanitation. The goal is to ensure clean water and sanitation for all people. The United Nations state that millions of people die every year from unsafe water and that without proper management, millions will continue to die. It is not so much a problem at the Silver Springs River in Florida as it is in crowded over populated and underdeveloped countries. However, the fact that a very important source of clean water is being degraded, no matter the location is terrible. More attention needs to be brought to this problem worldwide and better management needs to be created to ensure that the future of our water sources around the world are improved to ensure that all people can have access to clean water.

Within the era of scientifically accepted 'we are the cause of climate change and global warming' and its inevitable consequences, can we afford new and further exploitation of fossil fuels?
"The world possesses the tools and technology needed to reduce carbon emissions, build a more sustainable economy and end our reliance on fossil fuels."
www.huffingtonpost.com/jimmy-carter/climate-change-who-wi...
Currently Wales and the UK are awash with a tied of new fossil fuel exploitation, shale gas, coal bed methane and new open cast coal mines. So often cited as bridging too renewables, or replacing imported fossil fuels.
13 April 2014: IPCC PRESS RELEASE
Greenhouse gas emissions accelerate despite reduction efforts.
"Scenarios show that to have a likely chance of limiting the increase in global mean temperature to two degrees Celsius, means lowering global greenhouse gas emissions by 40 to 70 percent compared with 2010 by mid-century, and to near-zero by the end of this century. Ambitious mitigation may even require removing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere."
ipcc.ch/pdf/ar5/pr_wg3/20140413_pr_pc_wg3_en.pdf
All of this new fossil fuel development will bridge to renewables, pay for it, not distract from it? Does our governance seem like they are leading the way to mitigating climate change, are we a shinning example to others countries to follow suit?
Doesn't a global bullet need to be bitten within a short time scale, or is the bullet simply being deflecting for future generations to deal with, and its real impact?
