The planet is scattered with hazardous or explosive leftovers from a succession of technical breakthroughs – be they military or industrial – just waiting to be washed away by a flood or mudslide or carried off by a hurricane. If disaster strikes these “powder kegs” multiply the danger to people and the environment (posing a particularly acute threat to already scarce water resources).

"The heritage listed Victorian Italianate station built in 1885 in Terminus Street, with platform at rear, is the only major 'First Class' station building known to have been built in Sydney in the 19th century. ... [The] ornate station building stands to the north of the tracks, but is no longer used as part of the station." - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Petersham_railway_station#History
There is a commemorative plaque at Petersham station to Henry Lawson. On it is written these lines, taken from his manuscript A Fragment of Autobiography, written between 1903-1906, and held in the Mitchell Library:
Another rainy night on Petersham platform. I don’t remember what I was doing there unless I had been out late to see about a job. The sickly gas lamps again, the wet shiny asphalt, the posters on the mean brick walls close at hand, the light glistening on the enamelled iron notice saying ‘Second Class Wait Here’, and I alone and tired as usual and cold with a shoddy overcoat coarse as sacking and warm as a refrigerator. But it was here I struck the keynote, or the keyline of ‘Faces In The Street’.

Electro-fishing uses a small DC current to stun fish - this enables efficient identification of species and allows fish abundance and density on a stretch of river to be recorded.
The fish are not harmed in any way and are returned to the water after being measured.
Our Water and Wetlands Officers were out yesterday on the Bow Brook observing electro-fishing with the Environment Agency. Lots of fish were recorded of varying ages including: brown trout, eel, dace, chubb, gudgeon, stickleback, bullhead and stone loach. Brown trout are a particularly good indicator species so this is good news for the Bow Brook!

Volunteers led by staff from the Alliance for the Chesapeake Bay participate in a tree planting at Wittel Farm in Elizabethtown, Pa., on Oct. 10, 2020. Owned by the Lutheran Camping Corporation of Central Pennsylvania, the farm relies on volunteers to grow several acres of produce that is donated locally. The planting included several native species of trees that will provide edible crops, such as elderberry, persimmon and sugar maple. (Photo by Will Parson/Chesapeake Bay Program)

This is evidence of my one-woman campaign to ban carrier bags. It boils down to me not accepting plastic carrier bags. The downside is I have to carry my own. But at least it's stripey! More on my blog. stripeyanne.vox,com

Đầu năm 2010, Hồ Xuân Hương, viên ngọc của thành phố, cùng 4 hồ lắng xung quanh đang được tháo cạn để nạo vét, chuẩn bị cho các công đoạn xây kè đá, trồng cây xanh, thảm cỏ…Một con đường rộng khoảng 10m được đắp tạm băng ngang lòng hồ, đủ hai chiều lưu thông cho người dân trong lúc cầu Ông Đạo cũ đang được nâng cấp. Trong khoảng thời gian này, người dân Đà Lạt đang phải điên đầu với cái nóng khô rát vào buổi trưa, và bầu không khí đặc sệt bụi xung quanh trung tâm thành phố. Chưa hết, người dân ở các con đường Phạm Hồng Thái, Khe Sanh, Nguyên Tử Lực… còn phải gồng mình chịu đựng bụi và bùn đất từ những chiếc xe tải không che chắn di chuyển liên tục để phục vụ cho công trình nạo vét hồ. Riêng với học sinh các trường THCS, THPT nằm xung quanh khu vực "đại công trường"; này, mỗi ngày đến trường là một "ngày đau khổ"
In this photojournalism work, the lake of our hometown has been empty for a long time, due to a repairing and upgrading the facility's mission covering the city center, as well as dredging the lake for many purposes. Decisions were set by the local authority.
During this time, 2 more bridges have been rebuilt and upgraded, hence they block some roads for construction that a small path across the lake is set up for easier transportation. As you can see in one this photo, all the duck pedalos are settled above the water, the signal of a tourist block. Besides, the temporary road isn't probably fit for a large amount of vehicles. As a result, dust and harsh climate occur and cause much difficulties to inhabitants' living schedule

As part of the Côte Sud Initiative, UNEP is working with fishermen in Port Salut and surrounding areas to promote marine ecosystems regeneration and the sustainable management of marine resources while improving the fisheries market, diversifying fisheries products and developing coastal-based eco-tourism activities. The programme - call MER (Marine Environment Regeneration) Sud - aims to help rural coastal communities make the switch from poverty and unsustainable livelihoods to more economically productive and sustainable ecosystem-based livelihoods.

La pêche est une activité économique prépondérante en Haïti
Dans le cadre de l'Initiative Côte Sud, le PNUE travaille avec les pêcheurs de Port Salut et des environs pour promouvoir la régénération des écosystèmes marins et la gestion durable des ressources halieutiques, tout en améliorant le marché du poisson, en diversifiant les produits issus de la pêche et en développant les activités écotouristiques côtières. Le programme Régénération de l'Environnement Marin (REM) vise à soutenir les communautés du littoral rural, en favorisant la transition de la pauvreté vers la productivité et la durabilité de modes de vie en harmonie avec les écosystèmes.
