Under the proposal, according to two independent analyses, the Pacific Remote Islands Marine National Monument would be expanded from almost 87,000 square miles to nearly 782,000 square miles — all of it adjacent to seven islands and atolls controlled by the United States. The designation would include waters up to 200 nautical miles offshore from the territories.

They are seven sand-and-coral dots in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, far west and south of Hawaii. They are known best, if they are known at all, for guano mining in the 19th century and nuclear tests in the 20th.
Mr. Obama wants to expand protection to the full 200-mile territorial limit, covering nearly 782,000 square miles. .. These remote waters are a part of America most citizens may never see, but they should be thankful that presidents, of both parties, had the foresight to protect them.

The hope is that by building up composting in school, the city will help the environment, instill a sense of conservation in schoolchildren and, critically, save some money. The city paid $93 per ton in 2013 to dump in landfills, up from $68 in 2004. Composting saves the city $10 to $50 per ton, because the cost is offset by the sale of the end product, according to the Sanitation Department.

Cam Lo, Quang Tri (26 June 2014) – A family of seven in An Hung Village has peace of mind now, after two deadly cluster bombs and one rifle grenade were safely destroyed from their garden on Wednesday by one of Project RENEW’s mobile Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) teams.
In the first half of 2014, NPA/RENEW’s EOD teams conducted 795 EOD quick response tasks, safely destroying 3,000 items of UXO.

The 23-acre Blackwood Educational Land Institute grows everything from peaches, pears and plums to kale, broccoli and figs, constitutes three ecosystems (Piney Woods, Black Prairieland and Savannah Post Oak), runs a community-supported agriculture (CSA) operation, and hosts yoga retreats, wilderness first-responder training and children's education programs.

Every year, the lake yields about 300,000 tons of fish, making it one of the world’s most productive freshwater ecosystems. That and the floods that pulse through it in monsoon season, swelling it to as much as five times its dry-season size, have earned the lake the nickname “Cambodia’s beating heart.”
But the Tonle Sap is in trouble — from overfishing to feed a fast-growing population, from the cutting of mangrove forests that shelter young fish, from hydroelectric dams upstream, and from the dry seasons that are expected to grow hotter and longer with climate change.

After decades of searching scientists have discovered that a vast reservoir of water, enough to fill the Earth’s oceans three times over, may be trapped hundreds of miles beneath the surface, potentially transforming our understanding of how the planet was formed.

While the 250 islands that comprise Palau are home to only 20,000 inhabitants, the moratorium would have no small impact. The nation's EEZ consists of 232,000 square miles of prime fishing waters - rich with yellowfin and bigeye tuna - that are prized by Japanese and Taiwanese fishing vessels. If President Remengesau's plan meets the approval of the country's National Congress, the moratorium would contribute greatly to the global campaign to prevent the mass extinction of aquatic animals, and would start a necessary dialogue on how to mend the world's destructive and violent commercial fishing practices.
