My name is Mixie Wandera and I am 21 years old. I live with my parents and my siblings in Kisumu, Kenya. Everyday we encounter something that we wish we could do something about but we do not have the ability to do it.We live in an area called Kanyakwar B next to Mamboleo estate in Kisumu. Everyday when it rains, we encounter this;

This is water that flows from the hill after a night of heavy downpour. It not only flows in the residential area but also along the roadside.

All this water eventually flows into a specific point which is the Lake Basin quarry around the Kanyakwar area where people do mine for rocks and sand used for building.

You can see that there are people living inside the quarry who are actually using the water that recollects at specific points but this water eventually gets polluted and is rendered useless. This leads to wastage.

Instead of putting this water into waste, we can build drainage tunnels that leads to a particular point, in my case I suggest building a reservoir inside the quarry, where this water can help the inhabitants of the surrounding area.

TOGETHER, LETS HELP TO CONSERVE OUR NATURAL RESOURCE WHICH IS WATER!!!

The Kitchen.

 

This beautifully conserved cruck-framed byre dwelling nestled in Glen Lochay offers a unique opportunity to visit a traditional rural home, virtually unchanged since its last inhabitant left in 1968. Inside, the family’s living quarters are separated from the cattle byre by a wooden partition. Unusually, it retains original features such as the hingin’ lum, box beds, Scotch dresser and layer upon layer of patterned wallpaper.

 

The byre, once home to three milking cows, now displays some of the agricultural tools used on this farm. It also provides an excellent view of the cruck-frame construction and a glimpse of the original thatch under the tin roof.

 

The Tin Bothy now holds an exhibition of many original artefacts from the house and byre, including rare examples of the family’s clothing discovered in the roof space above the house. (Information from the National Trust for Scotland)

La Cité interdite (Chinois : 故宫; pinyin : gùgōng) est le palais impérial au sein de la Cité impériale de Pékin dont la construction fut ordonnée par Yongle, troisième empereur Ming, et réalisée entre 1407 et 1420. Ce palais, d'une envergure inégalée — il s'étend sur une superficie de 72 ha — fait partie des palais les plus anciens et les mieux conservés de Chine. De nos jours, il est devenu un musée qui conserve les trésors impériaux de la civilisation chinoise ancienne.

 

Ce site monumental a plusieurs dénominations :

 

Son nom complet est la « Cité pourpre interdite » (traduction du chinois Zǐjìn Chéng, 紫禁城), en référence à l'étoile nommée Zǐwēi Xīng (紫微星, la petite étoile violette) dans l'astronomie chinoise, c'est-à-dire l'étoile polaire de l'astronomie occidentale. En effet, comme le palais impérial se trouve au centre de Pékin et représentait le centre administratif de l'État, on lui donna un nom évoquant l'étoile qui est au centre de la rotation du firmament céleste.

Le nom le plus courant est « Cité interdite », qui vient du fait qu'en tant que résidence des empereurs chinois, de leurs familles et de ceux qui étaient à leur service, son accès était interdit au peuple.

En Chine actuellement, ce site est le plus souvent appelé Gùgōng (故宫), ce qui signifie « l'ancien palais ».

Le musée qui est actuellement abrité dans ces murs est appelé « Musée du Palais ».

 

Description

 

Depuis le début du quinzième siècle, le cœur de Pékin se trouve autour de la Cité interdite, aussi appelée Palais impérial des Ming et des Qing. Il s'agit du plus vaste complexe architectural de Chine : une véritable ville dans la Cité impériale, dans laquelle l'Empereur de Chine et son entourage étaient quasiment assignés à résidence, ne sortant de l'enceinte que dans de très rares occasions.

Elle couvre 72 ha dont 50 ha de jardins, qui s'étendent sur 960 m de long du nord au sud, et de 750 m de large d'est en l'ouest, entourée d'une muraille de 10 m de haut, elle-même cernée d'une douve large de 52 mètres.

La cité compte selon la légende, 9 999 pièces (en réalité, 8704, d'après une enquête menée en 1973). Le chiffre de 9 999, s'explique par le fait que selon la traditon, seules leurs divinités avaient le droit de construire un palais comprenant 10 000 pièces. Les hommes, de ce fait, essayaient ainsi de se rapprocher aussi près que possible de leur idéal de perfection. Le nombre 10 000 représente symboliquement « une infinité dénombrable » en Chine.

 

La construction de la Cité interdite a duré 14 ans et plus d'un million d'ouvriers réduits à l'esclavage y auraient travaillé. Entre 1420 et 1911, un total de 24 empereurs y ont résidé. Avant 1924, année où elle a été ouverte au public, personne d'autre que l'empereur et sa cour n'avait le droit de s'en approcher ni même de la regarder. Aujourd'hui, la Cité interdite est l'un des sites les plus visités en Chine.

 

L’architecture a divisé la Cité Interdite en deux parties :

 

La Cour extérieure (partie sud), constituait la partie officielle de la cité, où le souverain recevait ses ministres et présidait les grandes cérémonies officielles. Elle abrite notamment : la salle de l’Harmonie Suprême (Taihe), la salle de l’Harmonie Parfaite (Zhonghe) et la Salle de l’Harmonie Préservée (Baohe), ainsi que les bâtiments latéraux principaux, dont la salle de la Gloire Littéraire (Wenhua) et la Salle des Prouesses Militaires (Wuying).

Elle est parcourue d'ouest en est par une rivière artificielle dénommée Jinshui He (c'est-à-dire : la « Rivière aux Eaux d'Or ») provennant d'une dérivation des douves et servant aussi bien de décoration que de réservoir d'eau en cas d'incendie. Son rôle à également pour but de servir de dernier rempart symbolique protégeant la Salle de l'Harmonie Suprême.

La cour intérieure (partie nord), formait la partie privée, et servait donc aussi bien de cabinet de travail pour l’empereur, que d’appartements à la famille impériale et aux concubines. Elle comprend surtout le palais de la Pureté Céleste (Qianqing), la salle de l’Union (Jiaotai) et le palais de la Tranquillité Terrestre (Kunning), qui sont entourés respectivement par les « six Palais de l’Est » et les « Six Palais de l’Ouest ».

 

Construction (1406-1420) :

 

Le lieu où se trouve la cité interdite faisait partie de la cité impériale mongole Khanbalik depuis la dynastie Yuan. Quand la dynastie Ming lui succéda, Hongwu le premier empereur transféra la capitale à Nankin, en 1369, et ordonna que le palais mongol soit rasé. Son fils Zhu Di fut nommé Prince de Yan, et s’établit à Pékin. Un palais princier fut construit dans cette ville. En 1402, Zhu Di renversa son neveu Jianwen et devint empereur sous le nom de Yongle. La capitale retourna à Pékin.

 

La construction de la Cité Interdite commença en 1406, sur les plans d'architectes en chef comme : Cai Xin et d'un eunuque annamite Ruan An, assistés des ingénieurs en chef que furent Kuai Xiang et Lu Xiang. Les travaux durèrent 14 années en mobilisant environ 200 000 ouvriers. L’axe principal du nouveau palais est tracé à l’est de l’ancien palais des Yuan, dans l’intention de « tuer » l’ancien emplacement à l’ouest, selon les principes feng shui. De même, la terre issue de l’excavation des douves a été amassée au nord du palais pour créer une colline artificielle, la colline du parc Jingshan (surnommée la Colline de Charbon), protégeant le palais de la mauvaise influence du nord.

Founded in 1906, Mesa Verde National Park was created to conserve and protect the Ancestral Puebloan archaeological sites and cliff dwellings within the present-day park on the sides and top of a large tree-covered cuesta, known as Mesa Verde, that rises approximately 1,500 feet (785 meters) above the surrounding canyons and valleys, with rugged canyons cutting through the cuesta, lined with sandstone cliffs and ledges.

 

The area was inhabited by indigenous people for thousands of years prior to the rise of the Ancestral Puebloan culture, whom developed villages and farmsteads within what is today Mesa Verde National Park beginning around the year 750, with the structures built by the Ancestral Puebloans growing in complexity and durability, especially due to contact with the nearby culture centered around Chaco Canyon. The famous cliff dwellings for which the area is famous, however, were built between approximately 1020 and 1260, especially after a major drought in the region between 1130 and 1180, which led to a major migration of people from Chaco Canyon to Mesa Verde. The people of Chaco Canyon brought their culture, construction techniques, and goods with them, which is evident at archaeological sites on the cuesta.

 

The area began to depopulate between 1260 and 1285 due to environmental conditions becoming less favorable, with the people of Mesa Verde moving to the lowlands of what is today New Mexico and Arizona, with many founding or joining Pueblo settlements in these regions that still exist today. The stone houses were left to the elements, and were left uninhabited, only remembered by the descendants of the Ancestral Puebloans and the other indigenous groups who called the area home, most notably the Utes.

 

The ancient ruins were discovered by European-Americans in 1873, and were documented between 1875 and 1888, with various cliff dwellings and archaeological sites being relatively well-preserved and recognizable to explorers, archaeologists, and scientists whom visited the modern-day park. However, the removal of artifacts from the cuesta became a major concern, and efforts began in 1889 to protect the area as a National Park.

 

The park covers an area of 82 square miles (212 square kilometers), and features multiple Ancestral Puebloan and other indigenous archaeological sites, and was taken from the Ute people, with land being taken from the Utes after the establishment of the park to expand its borders. The park long struggled with proper interpretation and inclusion of the voices of the Puebloan people, whose ancestors built the ancient dwellings and lived at what are today archaeological sites, with work presently ongoing to redress these issues.

 

The ruins at the park underwent reconstitution and stabilization between 1908 and 1922, with extensive work being done on Spruce Tree House, Cliff Palace, and Sun Temple. Further work was carried out by the New Deal-era Civilian Conservation Corps starting in 1932 and extending through World War II, which included the construction of various park facilities for visitors and staff, and constructing roads atop the cuesta. The Wetherill Mesa ruins, meanwhile, were stabilized with work being carried out between 1958 and 1965, coinciding with the construction of the Far View accommodations atop the cuesta to the east.

 

The park today features a modern entrance road from US Highway 160, which climbs up the rugged slopes at the north end of the park to the top of the cuesta, stretching across the top of the cuesta to the south, where it connects to various roads that allow visitors to access the overlooks and trails for various cliff dwellings and archaeological sites on Chapin Mesa and Wetherill Mesa. Two areas of tourist accommodation also exist at Far View in the northern section of the park, and the administrative district at Spruce Tree Point at the southern end of the park.

 

The park was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1966, and was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1978. Today, the park sees over half a million visitors annually, and continues to preserve and maintain the ancient structures built by the Ancestral Puebloans.

Cuyahoga Valley National Park conserves and reclaims the rural landscape along the Cuyahoga River between Akron and Cleveland in Northeast Ohio's Cuyahoga and Summit counties.

 

The 32,572-acre (50.9 square mile) park is administered by the National Park Service, but within its boundaries are areas independently managed as county parks or as public or private businesses. Cuyahoga Valley was originally designated as a National Recreation Area in 1974, then redesignated as a national park 26 years later in 2000, and remains the only national park that originated as a national recreation area.

 

Cuyahoga Valley is the only national park in the state of Ohio and one of three in the Great Lakes Basin, with Isle Royale National Park in Lake Superior and Indiana Dunes National Park bordering Lake Michigan. Cuyahoga Valley also differs from the other national parks in the U.S. in that it is adjacent to two large urban areas and it includes a dense road network, small towns, and public and private attractions.

Synthetic turf installed in North America annually conserves more than three billion gallons of water, eliminates nearly a billion pounds of pesticides and fertilizers, and recycles more than 105 million used tires. It has also empowered millions of individuals as well as businesses to reduce their carbon footprints.

 

*

Green Product

Many of the components used in the production and installation of our greens are sourced from 100% post consumer recycled products. Artificial turf products have played a large role in the reduction of recent overcrowded landfills.

 

*

Allergen & Bacteria Resistant

  

Synthetic grass does not produce or harbor air born allergens. It is also resistant to mold development. Stopping air born spores before they form. Normal contact will not upset even the most sensitive skin. A great alternative to allergen and bacteria laden natural grass.

 

*

Financial

 

The combined money savings of water, gas, trimming, and chemical treatment means our artificial turf installations quickly pay for themselves. Many states also offer tax credits for “green” construction projects. The question becomes not why, but why not?

 

*

Eco Friendly

 

National Greens turf stops the use of harmful pesticides and fertilizers which pollute drinking water, destroy natural habitats, and endanger small children and pets.

 

*

Water Conservation

 

Water conservation is one of the greatest benefits synthetic grass provides. Not only is water cost greatly reduced, runoff water is free from pesticides and fertilizers which often can’t be filtered. Artificial turf has truly become a “green” product.

 

*

Gas and Oil Savings

No more gas, no more oil. Another substantial step to reducing our carbon footprint and reliance on foreign oil suppliers. All our turf is also produced right here in America, supporting the American workforce.
