Many years ago, when the USA was engaged in what was then ‘billed’ as an anti-Comm***st action in Asia, a vast base as built (Cam Rann Bay) Amazingly, they had to import sand from elsewhere, as that available locally would not ‘bind’ with the cement used, to manufacture concrete. The Gods were clearly against the effort, right from the start! My then US employer was also tasked with developing processes and facilities to increase 5 fold the processing of acrylic fibres: the local bugs just loved eating jute, the traditional material for sand-bags!

Before phase 5 started, the contractor converted the parking area again into two temporary lanes after the beach season ended.

“It would work as a stress relief layer, so the underlying cracks in the pavement below don’t reflect through,” he says. “And it also drains the water away from the underlying pavements.”

In 2017, the Ocean Conservancy joined with industry heavyweights to announce that they were fund-raising for investments in recycling companies in Southeast Asia. The initiative grew into an investment-management firm, Circulate Capital, to which companies such as PepsiCo, Dow, Unilever, and Coca-Cola have pledged more than a hundred million dollars. Some efforts to ban the production of single-use plastics are succeeding—and not just in countries like Kenya, which addressed its litter crisis in 2017 by decreeing that anyone caught producing, selling, or even carrying a plastic bag could go to prison for four years or face a fine of up to forty thousand dollars. In October, the European Union advanced a directive to roll out bans on single-use plastics like plates and cutlery. In the United States, thanks to a campaign led by Eriksen and Cummins, microbeads—the exfoliating plastic sprinkles common in toiletries—became illegal in 2018. New York City has banned most polystyrene food containers. Straws, thanks in part to the turtle video, have become a favored cause: California has restricted their use, and Starbucks plans to phase them out altogether by 2020. Lego is introducing a new plant-based form of plastic.

The containers are arranged like a series of islands that create paths in between, so staff and visitors can stroll through the artwork, getting close enough to smell the foliage and observe small insects living among the plants.

The fourth phase is divided into two parts. The first part of phase 4 consisted of reclaiming the temporary two lanes and some of the parking area, moving water mains and CATV, constructing retaining walls and installing drainage in the parking area. The second part of phase 4 consisted of constructing all drainage in the northbound lane, retaining walls with granite cap, precast/granite curb, chain link fences and constructing the landscaping area between the new causeway and reservation area in the temporary lanes.

In the dim light of a century-old mill, dozens of men work in silence, their sweat-darkened undershirts clinging to taut, weary backs. Hulking metal machinery clatters and thrums, coughing up fibrous dust that clings to the steel girders and catches in the labourers’ throats. The sounds rumble deep into the night as long strands of fuzzy golden thread are pulled, combed, spun and woven into sheets, rolling off the line like coarse, flat noodles.

Besides managing the infiltration of seawater into the newly-created intertidal wetland, the Medmerry project has to accommodate the existing natural freshwater flows form the enclosed farmland behind the new earth embankment.

“Maybe one day jute will be used in sanitary napkins and diapers worldwide,” said U.S. Sarma, the association’s director. “All of these are the products of the future.”
