The Ministry of Environment, Protection of Nature and Sustainable Development of Cameroon (MINEPDED) in collaboration with the United Nation System in Cameroon, organized the official ceremony to mark the 2016 World Environment Day on Monday, 06 June 2016 at the Yaounde Conference Centre.
I thought about doing something big for the last day of the Challenge, and also because it is Earth Day, but then something that Hightouchmegastore wrote on her blog about the small things that we do are really what is going to make a difference, and I realized that this is what the Challenge is really about: we do make a difference in the small things we choose to do. Yes the big things are important (hell I've already given up driving for all intents and purposes) but the small things that we can continue to do beyond the EDC are what really matters. As a matter of fact all of my things I think I can keep doing.
Now as for sweeping, there are a couple of benefits: you don't waste water by hosing down the porch and secondly you cut down on vacuuming because not as much of the outside is tracked inside. Sweeping the porch, in fact, used to be a daily activity for our ancestors. I still recall that every morning my grandmother would go out and give the porch a once over. Why? So she didn't have to spend more time sweeping her carpet. Of course by the time I recall her doing this, she had a vacuum and it was simple for her, but old, and much more earth-friendly habits died hard with her.
My grandfather, as well, would regularly rake the yard for the same purposes. It was interesting whenever they came and visited: the yard was raked and the porches were swept.
I think I'll make it a part of my daily routine to sweep the porch.
Although pyrethrum is a natural insecticide, the other active contituent in this insect killer is piperonyl butoxide (PBO) which is harmful to aquatic organisms and may cause long term adverse effects in the aquatic environment.
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.
Beauty at the edge of the desert. Great colours and features on the hillside in a wadi between RAK and Masafi, with a miriad of small shrubs and bushes thriving despite the harsh conditions.
Millbrook Marsh Nature Center is seen in State College, Pa., on April 11, 2018. Millbrook Marsh is a 62-acre park featuring a two-acre calcareous fen, a rare habitat fed by groundwater seeping through limestone bedrock, creating alkaline soil conditions that support specialized plants.

Maj. Gen. Bradley A. Becker, commanding general, Joint Forces Headquarters – National Capital Region, and Military District of Washington, visited Fort A.P. Hill, Virginia, to chair the post’s annual Installation Planning Board brief, Dec. 11, 2015.
There, he met with Lt. Col. David A. Meyer, commander, U.S. Army Garrison, Fort A. P. Hill, the garrison staff and tenant organizations, to review the command’s project and program goals and their potential impact on the installation. This process establishes the installation’s priority of effort for the upcoming year.
We set up shop at The Effra Social Club in Brixton, with lots of you eagerly waiting to repair and restore your electrical gear.
I hope we could help :)

Trees killed by the reconnected floodplain of a major stream restoration on a tributary of the Severn River known as Jabez Branch III are left standing to provide beneficial woody debris and habitat in Millersville, Md., on May 23, 2025. Funded by the Resilience Authority of Annapolis and Anne Arundel County, with $8.1 million provided by the Maryland Department of Natural Resources and $977,640 from the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation's EPA Innovative Nutrient and Sediment Reduction Grants program, the project was completed in late 2024 and spans roughly 2,600 feet of the stream. It was built by Underwood & Associates, Inc., to address severe erosion that was sending sediment pollution downstream into the Severn River. The design filled a 10-foot-deep eroded channel to reconnect the stream to its floodplain, using sand, gravel and wood chips to create riffles and step pools in what's known as a regenerative stormwater conveyance. "It's now controlling those pulses of floods," said Sara Caldes, the Severn Riverkeeper. "The amount of habitat that's been created in, like, one year is what I find most interesting."

I promised the coloured one and here it is!
Even though the other one was way better in terms on focus and quality of the shot I still prefer coloured photos sorry :P
Just like the other one this was on manual except ISO.
Enjoy!!!!
A team from the District of Columbia Department of Energy and Environment (DOEE) conducts spring habitat sampling for invertebrates at the site of a stream restoration on Pope Branch in Southeast Washington, D.C., on March 28, 2019. The entire watershed of 1.6-mile Pope Branch falls inside the District of Columbia and feeds into the Anacostia River. Almost 5,000 linear feet of the stream was restored in 2016.

Image Craft's ICON Themed Environments division created this new suite of office furniture, custom designed for our recently expanded Colorado office, now located in Centennial.
Shown here in various stages of production are a reception desk, media wall with podium, conference room table, storage and display credenzas, and more! The furnishings, primarily composed of shop ply and MDF, feature a zebra wood laminate with folkstone gray and matte black laminate work surfaces.
This project was produced entirely in-house in our Phoenix headquarters, from design to fabrication, and ultimately, through on-site installation. Backlit lettering and graphics are also part of the overall concept, and will be the final addition. We'll add more photos here as the project progresses.

A large Sugar Gum tree branch fell down in the local school over summer. I had a look and in the branches was a dead magpie and a nest. There was plastic tangled around the magpie's foot. It looks as though the parents used some plastic in the building of the nest. When the youngster grew up he became tangled and couldn't fly. He must have starved to death, hanging upside down by his foot.
