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!

Aspen thrive in moist environments that receive a lot of sunlight, so riparian corridors are a perfect place to find them. Their roots systems help stabilize stream banks, and they provide food and dam-building materials for beaver. Photograph courtesy National Park Service
Long Beach, Washington
Travel & Leisure Magazine named the Long Beach boardwalk as one of the top eleven in the nation. The Today Show featured the Long Beach boardwalk as the most unique. And we have to agree.
The boardwalk sits just outside the reach of the mighty Pacific and stretches for almost half a mile through the rolling dunes. It’s only a short walk from most downtown Long Beach activities and is a popular attraction for visitors and locals alike.
So what makes this boardwalk so amazing?
1. You won’t find crowds on the Long Beach Boardwalk. It isn’t covered with carnival rides and hot dog vendors (those are downtown!). It appears as if suspended in the grassy dunes.
2. It’s the perfect spot to watch the sunset over the Pacific Ocean or the sunrise over the Willapa Hills.
3. It’s a wonderful spot to snap photos for the family album or Instagram. Be sure to share your adventures! #longbeachwa
4. It’s the perfect stroll to take with ice cream or any sweet treat or a special someone.
5. If you’re wanting lunch with a view, have a seat at one of the picnic tables along the way and chow down on some takeout from one of our local restaurants.
6. The boardwalk will inspire you to wander! Look for steps leading off into the dunes or down to the shore.
7. It’s a comfortable spot to look for wildlife. Watch for whales, eagles, and shorebirds. Be sure to bring some binoculars.
8. Enjoy panoramic views of the North Head Lighthouse, beach, and surf.
9. Learn about the environment and history at one of the interpretive displays.
10. It’s a safe place to watch storms roll in across the Pacific during storm season.
11. Park at the Bolstad beach approach and walk down the boardwalk to [pickled fish] for a cocktail.
12. The boardwalk makes a gorgeous backdrop for small, intimate weddings or elopements.
13. On windy, bright days, hang out on the boardwalk to watch kites drift through the sky.
14. You can keep going! If your short stroll along the boardwalk came to an end too soon, simply hop on the Discovery Trail. It crosses beneath the boardwalk and runs south all the way to Ilwaco and north to a bronze sculpture of Clark’s Tree behind the Breakers.
15. Find plenty of free parking on either end of the boardwalk as well as public restrooms.
Location: Park at the Sid Snyder beach approach or the Bolstad beach approach in downtown Long Beach for easy access to the boardwalk.

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!
The School of Environment and Sustainability (SENS) was proud to be a partner and sponsor of EcoHack, Saskatchewan's first environment- and sustainability-focused hackathon.
EcoHack was a three day rapid-problem-solving event that gave local organizations and businesses the ability to pitch their burning environment and sustainability challenges to a group of innovative and creative students. Teams of undergraduate and graduate students then worked to find solutions to the problem of their choice.
NIPSCO, the Northern Indiana Public Service Company, created a network with eight stations at four sites to monitor the water level of rivers and estimate flow rates.

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.

In the week that they launched their major new book, ‘Fine Line: Twelve Environmental Sculptures Encircle the Earth’, Talking Pictures features an interview the New Zealand environmental artists Martin Hill and Philippa Jones. The couple have been collaborating for over three decades on the creation of ephemeral sculptures and land installations, which they then preserve as photographs. Their images speak to their concerns for sustainable design and circular systems, urging us to recognise the wisdom time has bestowed on Nature and to understand that we too can learn and adopt its restorative and regenerative processes.
You can read an interview with Martin Hill at Talking Pictures.
