This document summarizes the work of SustyQ, an organization focused on beautifying and improving the sustainability of the Queens neighborhood of Richmond Hill. It discusses how the neighborhood currently struggles with excess trash and lack of greenery. It then outlines SustyQ's efforts to conduct guerrilla gardening by planting flowers, trees, and installing planters to beautify the area. It discusses the positive environmental and social impacts of increasing greenery, such as reducing crime, stress, and pollution. It thanks funders and partners supporting SustyQ's beautification initiatives.
Always concerned about the environmental issues, this Blue campaign is one of my favourite visual communication design projects, opting to create awareness and acting as reminders.
Our oceans are slowly turning into a plastic soup, harming the ecosystem. Two-thirds of it comes straight from land based sources: litter being left on the beach or washed down rivers from litter being dropped in towns and cities.
This campaigns aims to give innovative solutions in three aspects of producing, consuming and disposing plastics. Reduce, reuse and recycle is the key action and caring is the heart of every action to develop a sustainable future.

Wildscaping: break up with your lawn, invite in the wild Joyce Hostyn
Climate change is forcing us to rethink our approach to gardening, our relationship with plants and how we belong to place. Our weather is becoming more variable with wetter springs, drier summers, colder winters and more extreme storms. Let’s adapt our gardening style for a changing climate, drawing inspiration from local landscapes and indigenous flora to create sustainable, resilient gardens that welcome wild beings into our cities.
A Powerpoint describing the Environmental Justice Tour for an undergraduate learning experience.
Students often recognize that air, water, and soil pollution have negative effects on human health but may not recognize that these problems exist in their own communities. In many parts of the United States there are sources of pollution located very close to neighborhoods especially in low-income areas. The field trip experience described here explores the relationship between economically depressed neighborhoods and environmental problems through the lens of social justice. This field trip involves witnessing how several low-income neighborhoods are located near coal-fired power plants, open-air coal ash landfills, chemical plants, and a Superfund site. During the experience students have the opportunity to make observations and discuss what they have witnessed in the context of why these problems exist, who is responsible for these problems and how they might be fixed. This field trip experience was developed by Mr. Tim Darst at the Passionist Earth and Spirit Center in Louisvile, Kentucky and is offered on a regular basis for college students, high school groups and community members. This kind of experience could be adapted to many other parts of the country that experience environmental problems, either urban (as described above) or rural (i.e., agricultural problems, deforestation, etc.).

The case study discusses the potential of drone delivery and the challenges that need to be addressed before it becomes widespread.
Key takeaways:
Drone delivery is in its early stages: Amazon's trial in the UK demonstrates the potential for faster deliveries, but it's still limited by regulations and technology.
Regulations are a major hurdle: Safety concerns around drone collisions with airplanes and people have led to restrictions on flight height and location.
Other challenges exist: Who will use drone delivery the most? Is it cost-effective compared to traditional delivery trucks?
Discussion questions:
Managerial challenges: Integrating drones requires planning for new infrastructure, training staff, and navigating regulations. There are also marketing and recruitment considerations specific to this technology.
External forces vary by country: Regulations, consumer acceptance, and infrastructure all differ between countries.
Demographics matter: Younger generations might be more receptive to drone delivery, while older populations might have concerns.
Stakeholders for Amazon: Customers, regulators, aviation authorities, and competitors are all stakeholders. Regulators likely hold the greatest influence as they determine the feasibility of drone delivery.

Oprah Winfrey: A Leader in Media, Philanthropy, and Empowerment | CIO Women M...CIOWomenMagazine
This person is none other than Oprah Winfrey, a highly influential figure whose impact extends beyond television. This article will delve into the remarkable life and lasting legacy of Oprah. Her story serves as a reminder of the importance of perseverance, compassion, and firm determination.
2. I was born
in Georgetown,
Guyana
and spent my
first formative
years exploring
this tropical
paradise.
3.
4.
5.
6. The imported
produce found in
local shops and
grocery stores
cannot match the
accessibility, flavor
and freshness of
fruits ripe off the
trees and street
markets in Guyana.
7. My family
immigrated to
Queens, New
York when I was
five years old.
Visible changes
have occurred
during these last
30 years
of living in
Southern Queens.
8. SustyQ
(Sustainable Queens)
focuses on inspiring
AWE (Art, Wellness and Ecology)
as a way of creating community and
establishing self-sufficient and nurturing spaces.
19. Why Trees?
A walk in the woods reduces the level of
stress chemicals in the body and increases
natural killer cells in the immune system,
which fight tumors and viruses.
20. Why Trees?
More trees in urban neighborhoods
correlate with a lower incidence of asthma.
40. Residents are
ashamed to
bring family
and friends to
the
neighborhood.
Our immigrant
communities are
crying out for a
solution.
41.
42. These two
tree beds in
front of
TD Bank
are going to be
filled with pops
of gorgeous,
bright yellow
daffodils very
soon!
43. Perhaps the
presence of
sunny daffodils
will prevent
bike riders
from parking
their bikes in
the tree bed in
front of
Mc Donalds.
44. It's evident that the
containers from fast
food and take-out
restaurants, delis,
as well as household
and business waste,
will still keep
growing until
recycling education
and bins are
provided for our
community.
45. Community
Board 10's efforts
to install new
trash bins are
necessary and
appreciated.
Still, more needs
to be done to
address the waste
problem on
Liberty Avenue.
46. We have a vision for what's coming next
on Liberty Avenue and Southern
Queens!
47. The dream of a tree-lined Liberty Avenue
may come true after Million Trees NYC surveys
the area this spring!
48. Native plants, herbs and colorful wildflowers will
populate patches of dirt and dress up naked streets.
Doesn't this look welcoming and refreshing?
49. Bioswales and native plants help with flooding,
pollution, and attracting pollinators.
55. There are 50% less crimes committed
in and around streets
surrounded
by
trees and flowers.
56. Boost for local economy:
People go out of their way to visit
"forested" urban shopping districts—and
pay more for goods and services.
57. Public green spaces naturally clean the
environment.
The urban forest canopy can save
municipal government more than $1
million a year in pollution mitigation.
