Freezing rain created a beautiful landscape. Unfortunately, the morning of my grandmother's funeral.
HYPREP’s technical personnel take borehole water samples.
In June 2019, UN Environment organized a technical training to build the technical capacity of the Hydrocarbon Pollution Remediation Project (HYPREP) and its technical personnel. From 11 to 21 June 2019, 21 members of HYPREP’s technical personnel received training on the management and assessment of contaminated land. The training included twelve theory modules followed by two days of field-based exercises and site visits to a soil treatment plant and a remediation site.
In 2018, the United Nations Environment Programme began a project to assist HYPREP to manage the clean-up of oil contamination in Ogoniland. Designed in response to a request from the Government, this project comes as an integral part of the United Nations Environment Programme’s continuing support to the Government of Nigeria to clean up the environmental contamination in Nigeria and achieve lasting peace in the region.

Earthship houses built north of Taos. The goal of the Earthship houses is to be as much off-the-grid as possible through using natural and recycled materials in construction, through design and placement that harnesses the value of the available environment, through using solar and wind energy for electricity and heating/cooling, and by being self-contained in terms of water and sewage.

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.
This is part of three pictures documenting Palm Springs and Coachella Valley water facilities
Another popular statement from local water agencies is that our water is local, coming from local surface sources and mostly the aquifer. This is technically true. None of the water coming out of our faucets comes directly from the Colorado (or the SWP allotment from the Colorado). BUT, 55% (link below) of the water coming into the Coachella Valley is water from the Colorado (including the SWP allotment from the Colorado) that is used to recharge the aquifer. The aquifer is also filled with runoff from the surrounding mountains, but obviously that’s not enough if 55% of the water used comes from the Colorado.
This satellite photo (thanks to Google) is of the point on the north side of Palm Springs where water from the Colorado Aqueduct (and, in the winter, the Whitewater River) is spread out to seep into the aquifer.

www.panleft.org"Indymedia NewsReal" is a monthly joint project of Free SpeechTV (http://www.freespeech.org) and the Independent Media Center (http://www.indymedia.org/en/index.shtml ). It brings stories of progressive grassroots organizing, going on in backyards everywhere, to a national television audience. Each program covers actions taken in local communities, by ordinary people, to address critical issues like the war, air and water pollution, reproductive rights, homelessness, for-profit prisons, sweatshops, racism, police brutality, indigenous struggles, and more. The Seattle PepperSpray Collective contributes segments to the "NewsReal" Project. In addition, we do the dubbing/mailing of the finished "NewsReal" for community screeners each month, and we also build the program's outreach by featuring the monthly "NewsReal" on "Indymedia Presents".This video was originally shared on blip.tv by Pepperspray Productions with a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivs license.

Through our Multicultural Leaders in Sustainability program, we provide young migrants and refugees with the leadership skills they need to help their communities live more sustainably.
On this day we gave the students an Op Shop Challenge where they were given $15 to find something great to wear from Footscray Savers. A good, fun lesson in waste, recycling, sustainable living and secondhand shopping.

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!
