Just for fun, I thought I'd show you the changing seasons at Hiawatha Park.
See below for Spring, Winter and Autumn taken at the same place.

Saving the planet one step at a time
Have you heard of climate change?
Temperatures are getting higher. Storms are getting worse. Ice is melting and sea levels are rising. Portions of the coast of Bangladesh are likely to go underwater, lost forever. Millions will become homeless. The ability of the earth to sustain people is threatened.
Why is climate change happening?
Because people are burning up fossil fuels (diesel, petrol, natural gas, coal) at such rapid rates that future generations are now threatened.
Is it possible to slow climate change?
Yes, but we cannot continue to waste time. Carbon dioxide levels are rising rapidly. That is where the number 350 comes in. If we can limit CO2 in the atmosphere to 350 parts per million then we can avoid the worst of the harm to come.
Is there anything we can do?
No one person cam stop climate change but everyone contributes something significant. We can slow out own use of fossil fuels by walking and cycling and taking cycle rickshaws rather than using motorized transport. We can reduce our use of electricity. We can avoid, as a nation, burning coal (pure carbon) or selling it to others to burn. We can encourage the government to act to encourage reductions in fuel use and to encourage walking, cycling, and rickshaws.
This will mean making some changes. Fortunately most of those changes are likely to
increase rather than reduce our quality of life. Imagine being able to cycle safely in
Dhaka. Imagine the air being fresh and clean. Imagine children and youth being able to play in side streets. If we move our focus from cars to people, from traveling long
distances to accessing basic needs close to home, we can reduce congestion and all the misery it causes, We can have more time with family and for the other important parts of life.
Remember 350 is not just a number. It is not just an ideal. It is something we can all work to make a reality.

NGO ‘Cooperation for Development’ has held round tables and discussion with
local citizens, farmers, women and youth in 5 mountain villages of Rasht
valley, Tajikistan. They raised the awareness on climate change threats for
local agriculture which based on glaciers water. As glaciers melt faster
the water reserves shorten. Both scientific evidence and peoples
observations witnessed that Tajikistani farmers need to take urgent
measures towards climate change adaptation and conservation of agricultural
biodiversity. Overall 200 people took part in the discussions.

The banding was to simulate the same banding found on old sailing maps. However I changed it up a little. I wanted it to change direction halfway through the floor. This is how I did it.
The living room has had a teensy wee bit of a change-round ~ yet again! There is a jolly good reason for it, though, which I have posted about on my blog: lavenderandpearls.blogspot.co.uk/2012/05/looking-to-futur...
I know it's still a minimalist's nightmare but a fair 'ole bit of decluttering/downsizing has gone on in here ;-)
"350" garden -- a project in progress.
This garden was created in an old meadow, showing how food can be grown with a minimum of tools and time...
Last year, we prepared garden beds in 3,5 and 0 shapes with hand tools only -- a two-pronged hoe to dig and a scythe to cut mulch.
On 10/10/10, we took this project one step further;
Although the flowering sun chokes (jerusalem artichokes) in the "3" are still standing and the "5" is only roughly dug to harvest the vegetables, the "0" has been worked up to a fine seedbed -- the inner oval now planted in garlic, the outer heavily mulched with scythe-mown vegetation in preparation for spring seeding. A portion of the crop of potatoes and sun chokes harvested from the "5" and "0" make up the 350 in the centre of the 0.

Now why is this tram full of passengers turning onto the track that goes into the depot? Oh wait there's another one with the same number on its way out - the passengers get to swap cars from the new model to the old model. And then another tram going through the same procedure - new to old… hmm…
