One of the plans on this trip was to attempt to document at least some of the major disasters recently striking California and the west. Thus, a stop in Santa Rosa to see what I could see of the damage from the Tubbs fire of 2017. The Tubbs fire had started some distance from Santa Rosa, but high winds had brought embers down to a neighborhood that looked much like any suburban neighborhood – a location not, as had been the case with the Paradise/Camp fire (earlier pictures), at the obvious urban/wildland interface. Per this LA Times article, the main immediate cause of the fire was the embers catching one house on fire and that providing fuel for burning down other nearby homes, resulting in the destruction of hundreds of homes (see the drone photo). A less immediate cause note in the LA Times article is, not surprisingly, slowness in developing and implementing appropriate regulations for development in such areas.
The photo shown here has, on the top, a photo taken by me standing in front of Coffey Park (note the still empty resident lot), and then below images from Google Street view taken in 2016 before the fire (on the left), and on the right a 2018 photo after the fire as reconstruction was starting.

In March 2020, over 330 students, women champions, government officials, NGO members and community members from around Kampot and Kep gathered in an effort to plant 3,000 mangroves and conserve Cambodia’s coastline. Shoes were abandoned on the sideline as people waded into the mud and shallows – the mission was much more important than worrying about dirty feet.
The local activity took place as part of a larger mangrove planting and marine exhibition under ActionAid Cambodia’s 100,000 Mangroves campaign, supported by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) under the project ‘Strengthening Climate Information and Early Warning Systems in Cambodia’. The campaign aims to plant 100,000 mangroves in eight community fisheries by May 2020 and raise awareness of the importance of marine ecosystems.

Preparations for transport of collected samples after completion of the mission.
IAEA experts visited Japan from 8 to 14 September 2014 and -- together with staff from NRA and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs -- collected water samples from the sea at five locations near TEPCO's Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station,
The water samples were shared both between the IAEA Environmental Laboratories and the Japanese Laboratories to e=be analyzed independently.

Presentation by environmental activist Ross Mirkarimi hosted by DERES and the U.S. Embassy Montevideo. DERES is a non-profit business organization that promotes corporate social responsibility (CSR) in Uruguay.
San Francisco District 5 Supervisor Ross Mirkarimi introduced legislation in 2007 that prohibits large supermarkets and drugstores from providing customers with non-biodegradable plastic bags, making San Francisco the first city to regulate such bags. Since then other cities around the country and in Europe have take up similar bans.

April 2021: While big environmental projects are good, sometimes a better approach is through education. Changing set living habits and protecting the environment were the goals of a series of environmental and education events dedicated to the All-Ukrainian Environment Day and the Day of Environmental Knowledge.
Residents of eastern Ukrainian towns, including students, activists, representatives of communal enterprises, and officials from local authorities took part in the events.
Activities included conducting a water quality analysis from a local water pumping station, planting trees, and cleaning public areas.

Here are some photos from my trip to Donna Nook, November 2009. Donna Nook is a place about 20 miles south of Grimsby, Lincolnshire UK on the North Sea coast. Grey Seals come ashore in large numbers to mate and give birth to live young. I've photographed a a few different aspects of seal behaviour.

According to the United Drive-In Theater Owners Associations only 383 operating drive-in theaters are left in the U.S. The drive in was a cute and comfortable alternative to the movie theater when they first started popping up around the U.S. in the 1930s. This is a good medium between the large cineplex and staying at home. Patrons can stay in a familiar environment (their car) but get out of their homes and go out for the night.
Employees supported a special Earth Month celebration with the Royal Botanical Gardens, Kew. Around 100 volunteers supported this important environmental organisation through either gardening with the horticulture team, or lantern making for their award-winning winter lantern trails. The activities ended with a lunch and talk from Kew Director of Science, Alex Antonelli on biodiversity.
