Every year the change of season brings a change in the wind and wave direction which moves the sand from one side of the beach to the other. Believe it or not in a few weeks from now this huge rock will be almost totally hidden by sand. If you look close you can see the line where the sand comes up to! Sometimes only the very top of the rock is visible.

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.
Almost two years since the completion of the remediation and environmental restoration works at the rear of Balmoral Oval.

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.
Thousands came together on Saturday, June 10th, for the vibrant Environment Day Festival. From engaging stands to enlightening workshops, guests of all ages explored environmental protection, renewable energy, recycling, and sustainable development. We showcased innovative solutions and best practices, empowering everyone to make a difference.
Organized by the Association of Environmental Journalists, with support from the Swedish Embassy, the European Union, UNDP Moldova, and the World Health Organization, the festival inspired us all.
A recent study supported by UNDP Moldova and the Global Environment Facility reveals the growing plastic waste problem in Moldova. Only 3% of plastic waste is currently recycled, leading to pollution and health issues. UNDP Moldova remains committed to supporting the country, promoting sustainable practices, enhancing capacities, and reducing plastic waste through innovative solutions.

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

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.

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!

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!
