oh yes, those trees do spring up directly from inside those fake fiat 500 cars serving as giant flower pots.

In the middle, CA-60, the Moreno Valley Expressway which, considering the way things are happening, should be renamed Distribution Valley Expressway……
On the left edge is the new Amazon distribution center that’s in an adjacent picture, and behind me is the slightly older Amazon distribution center in the ‘Amazon Cloud’ picture. Considering the speed at which this area is becoming distribution centers, probably all of the vacant land on the left side of the picture will soon be distribution centers. The housing on the right side of the picture is all new and the development is still filling out. While the homes look like typical, relatively large, California homes, the number of cars out front of them suggest they may be relatively large families with multiple people probably working in distribution centers.
About 8 miles further west on the freeway (to the left in the picture) is the Moreno Valley area which is seemingly being taken over by distribution centers – and about 25 miles east (behind me) is Desert Hot Springs/north Palm Springs which is planning for several large distribution centers. (Does anybody make anything, or does just everything get distributed?)
Apologies for the poor quality of the pictures, the barrenness, bright sun, wind, and construction traffic made getting good pictures difficult

Metal Theft
9.
Chris Kelly (Dudley South) (Con):
What assessment she has made of the implications for her policy on waste of the Government’s strategy on metal theft.[97382]
The Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Mrs Caroline Spelman):
I believe it is important to crack down on all those involved in metal theft, including rogue scrap yard operators who fuel the crime. That is why we are working collectively across Government to take a range of enforcement and legislative measures that will make stolen metal too hot to handle.
Chris Kelly:
Does the Secretary of State share my view that scrap yards that knowingly facilitate this crime are just as responsible as those that actually commit the theft? In line with that, will she make sure that this important clampdown is pursued with vigour, as urged by the widely supported all-party parliamentary group on combating metal theft?
Mrs Spelman:
I commend my hon. Friend, who made an excellent speech on this subject on 7 February. Like me, he comes from the west midlands, which is badly affected. Let me reassure him that we will certainly pursue this matter with vigour. I support the ban on cash payments for the purchase of scrap metal and, indeed, the increase in penalties under the Scrap Metal Dealers Act 1964, which will provide the police with greater powers to enter illegal sites as well as registered sites.

While guest speaking at CBIA’s Annual Environment & Energy Conference in Waterbury, Sen. Ed Meyer (left), Sen. Bob Duff (center), Rep. Clark Chapin (right) and Rep. Laura Hoydick (far right) discussed the General Assembly's major accomplishments during 2013 legislative session. The annual program draws over 200 business attendees from throughout Connecticut with a focus on manufacturing and other industrial businesses. (June 19, 2013)
This giant surface coal mine serves the Four Corners Power Plant nearby. It would also supply coal to the Desert Rock power plant, if it's built.
With growing population and infrastructures the world’s exposure to natural hazards is inevitably increasing. This is particularly true as the strongest population growth is located in coastal areas (with greater exposure to floods, cyclones and tidal waves). To make matters worse any land remaining available for urban growth is generally risk-prone, for instance flood plains or steep slopes subject to landslides. The statistics in this graphic reveal an exponential increase in disasters. This raises several questions. Is the increase due to a significant improvement in access to information? What part does population growth and infrastructure development play? Finally, is climate change behind the increasing frequency of natural hazards.

This is what the Tea Tree Gully council thinks is "sensitive" clearance of foliage and to replace this devastation they are proposing a measly 60 trees and some seedlings and some of that not till 2015

Rwanda has launched a revised Green Growth and Climate Resilience Strategy as part of 2023 World Environment Day celebrations.
The strategy has been revised by the Ministry of Environment in partnership with the United Nations Development Programme, and defines a development pathway for Rwanda that is climate resilient and harnesses green economic innovation. It has been updated to align with Vision 2050 and will serve as Rwanda's long-term strategy for low-emissions development.
During the event, participants also toured an exhibition titled "Solutions to Plastic Pollution" to learn about plastic waste management in Rwanda and sustainable alternatives.

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.
A shield bug on the shingle bank at Porlock Weir. Thin pickings!
I reckon this is a Forest Bug (Pentatoma rufipes), which will have strayed from the woodland that slopes onto Exmoor.
The Vajont Dam (or Vaiont Dam) is a disused dam, completed in 1959 in the valley of the Vajont River under Monte Toc, in the municipality of Erto e Casso, 100 km (60 miles) north of Venice, Italy. One of the tallest dams in the world, it is 262 metres (860 ft) high, 27 metres (89 ft) wide and 22.11 metres (72 ft 6 in) thick at the base and 191 metres (627 ft) wide and 3.4 metres (11 ft 2 in) thick at the top.
On 9 October 1963, during initial filling, a massive landslide caused a man-made megatsunami in the lake in which 50 million cubic metres of water overtopped the dam in a wave 250 metres (820 ft) high, leading to 1,910 deaths and the complete destruction of several villages and towns.
The construction company and the Italian government initially disregarded early warning signs and reports describing the geological instability of Monte Toc on the southern side of the basin. The eventual attempt to safely control the landslide by lowering the lake level was too late. The dam remained almost intact and two thirds of the water was retained behind it, but the landslide was much larger than expected and the impact brought massive flooding and destruction to the Piave valley below.
