U.S. Embassy officers cleaned up bottles, tires, Christmas lights, lawn furniture and other trash that had washed ashore at Ambassador Nolan's residence. An hour of volunteer clean-up effort resulted in more than 25 garbage bags full of trash.
North-facing slopes of the Montane escape some of the sun's drying action, so their soils contain more available water. As a result, the trees grow closer together and competition for sunlight produces a tall, slender growth form. The trees may be a mixture of Douglas fir, lodgepole pine, ponderosa pine and an occasional Engelmann spruce. A few shade-tolerant plants grow. Photograph courtesy National Park Service

The Great Suburban Walk
There’s a federal election on its way, yet our political leaders continue to backflip, delay and deny on climate change. With so much at stake, it’s time for the community to put climate action back on the election agenda.
The 2010 Walk Against Warming demand that our political leaders face up to their responsibility on climate change. We’ll remind them that to secure our votes, they must ‘Walk with the People, Not the Big Polluters’.
This year we took our message for a safe climate straight to the people that matter most – the voters.
We coordinated hundreds of Victorians in three key electorates (Melbourne, Deakin and La Trobe) to come together and letterbox. To make sure that voters in those areas know exactly what actions our leaders need to take on climate change.
So that means that less than one week before the federal election, up to 300,000 of the most influential voters in Victoria will receive our safe climate message. How good!

My brother is blurred out because in my opinion his surrounding environment isn't were he belongs. I like the detailed environment because you can see a lot of little details. The colors in the environment radiate warmness while my brother is giving off an emotion of discomfort, and the color of his clothing as well portray that. He is a gray emotion.

Day 304 / 365. These sprouts are just a tiny sampling of what was on display today at the 14th Annual Boston Vegetarian Food Festival.
From their website
Bostonveg.org
Our Festival brings together an amazing array of vegetarian natural food providers, top national speakers and chefs, and educational exhibitors in a fun and welcoming environment. It is a chance to talk directly to food producers, learn the newest items in the marketplace, taste free food samples, shop at show special discounts, or simply learn what vegetarian foods are available and where you can find them!
The EBRD’s new region of operations is diverse in many ways, not least in terms of differing legal traditions and
cultures. Civil law and common law influences coexist with traditional
systems such as Sharia. Legal practitioners active in these markets explored the diversity of tradition
and practice, and the challenges that the EBRD will encounter when financing
projects in the region.

Netherlands pavilion at the EXPO 2000 in Hannover, Germany - MVRDV architects
Renovation and transformation started in 2022 and it will be integrated in a surrounding housing complex.
Expo 2000 was the first World Expo in Germany and was held from June 1 to October 31, 2000 at the fairgrounds of Hanover under the motto of Man, nature and technology - home of a new world. The goals: to achieve an exhibition with visions for the future and models for the balance between man, nature and technology, and provide solutions for the coexistence of more than 6 billion people on our planet. The protagonists in Hannover were renewable resources, the culture of recycling and progress respectful of nature. Holland is a country with high population density. It is the best example of how a country has to shape its environment to fit their needs. Again and again had to win ground to the sea. You'll find plenty of space not only increasing the country along but vertically. The latter idea is displayed in the pavilion stacked to the different landscapes. It provides a public space on several levels, and an additional space on ground floor for the visibility and accessibility, for the unexpected. The idea of the pavilion was characterized by the superimposition of six ways of being of the landscape. From the ground floor, the "dune landscape" leading to "greenhouse landscape," space in which nature and, above all, agricultural production, showed strong union with life, even in the new high tech world. In the "pot landscape" big pots hosting the roots of trees located on the top floor, while throwing screens and digital images of light and colour messages. "Rain landscape was changing in the space devoted to water, which was turned into a screen and in support of audiovisual messages; large trunks of trees populated the" forest landscape ", while building on top of the" polder landscape "hosted large wind blades and a large green area. Ecology, congestion, population density, the relationship between natural and artificial are the issues faced by the Dutch MVRDV in the realization of the Dutch Pavilion. From a constructive, the flag emphasizes the natural-artificial, by reaching out and the overlapping of transparent and opaque materials, and technology of green areas, opening and closing outwards. The building saving energy, time, space, water and infrastructure. Create a mini ecosystem that tried to find solutions to a possible lack of light and terrain. The language of architecture was raised as a pipeline through which to raise new solutions to the problems of pollution, depletion of natural resources, congestion and liveability of our urban centres.

Philadelphia
Development in Philly is out of control, worsening conditions for working class people & the environment. Hundreds of community activists took to the streets to set the tone for Philly's 2023 election: anyone running for mayor or city council better have policy solutions for ensuring long-term, working class residents have a place in this city and that Philly is truly tackling and prepared for the climate crisis.
The march was organized by community groups fighting for land justice across our city, including Philly Thrive, Sunrise Movement, VietLead, Save UCTownhomes, Save the Meadows, Cobbs Creek EJ, and more!
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.

The High Lakes Aquatic Alliance Foundation recently deployed a NexSens CB-450 data buoy into the far eastern part of Suttle Lake to monitor water quality conditions as part of their salmon restoration project. The buoy is equipped with sensors for pH, dissolved oxygen, cytochrome a, and light above and beneath the water's surface.
