Lisa Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 Sacramento, California USA - An estimated crowd of 4,000 protesters took buses from 16 different cities to the state capitol to demand Governor Jerry Brown ban hydraulic fracturing. In what’s being dubbed the largest anti-fracking rally in California’s history, the ‘Don’t Frack California’ protest was voicing their concerns about earthquakes, air & water pollution, and climate change urging Governor Jerry Brown to stop all fracking in California. Santa Barbara, California USA – Protesters from 350.org carry a 90 foot mock pipeline down State Street in Santa Barbara, California to plead with President Obama to reject the Keystone XL Pipeline and keep his promises about climate action.

NYCat Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 The Alamy blog about picture needs makes this a very appropriate subject. I have learned a new word. Upcycled. My spell-check thinks it is not a word but people seem to be using it and I have an image that I have had to add keywords to because I thought it was just a charming and unusual way to use old boots but it turns out to be an example of upcycling. Here are my three ways we can be environmentally friendly. Upcycle your boots... DYAAXK Old boots used as flowerpots. Build your home out of cow dung and mud... CTX16J Masai women applying a mixture of cattle dung and mud to the roof of a hut. Use horse power for transportation.. EN2GFK Central Park carriage horse.
