How about using the plastic sand in geotubes for coastal erosion prevention? A vast volume of the material would thus be used. In my area of western Washington State I’ve proposed a geotube solution to help reduce tsunami flooding.

Team Van Oord, comprising Dutch contractor Van Oord and British contractors May Gurney and Mackley Construction, has the main contract for the Medmerry managed realignment project, a major sea defence scheme for the Environment Agency which, unlike traditional sea defences, is designed to allow the sea to encroach upon the land in a controlled way, rather than attempt to halt its progress.

“It saves time, so therefore, it saves money,” agrees Blake Nelson, MnDOT technologies engineer. “It just goes down so much faster than any other means or method. You can cover a lot of area with these fabrics in a hurry.”

Alaina Austin: I think a lot of people portray it to be very friendly, but it’s actually extremely cutthroat. It’s an everyone’s-out-for-themselves kind of industry, I feel.

On the other hand, the other grower may not be able to produce competitive yields without adding supplemental light. There will be greenhouse locations where the problem is keeping sun out, but the process of estimating yields against an indoor reference remains the same.

Metropolitan Water Works and Sewerage System (MWSS) Administrator Reynaldo V. Velasco underscored the water agency’s progress with its three concessionaires–Maynilad, Manila Water, and San Miguel Bulk Water–in ensuring water security and better waste-water management through the application of smart water management as he highlighted the success of water privatization in the Philippines.

In addition to these necessities, there will be a few tools necessary, such as an angle grinder or reciprocating saw and a drill. Having a couple of scrap screws and the like around would be helpful, too.

Dumping waste in a non-functional plant is the “grossest violation” of its order, says NGT. Before the Mela began, the plant already had 60,000 tonnes of waste to treat. Vijay Kiran Anand, district magistrate for Kumbh, says Hari Bhari is at fault as it was given funds to treat this existing waste. He denied the claim that the plant was getting more waste than its capacity.

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.

Riverside and Pickering Marine Contractors, using a barge-based Komatsu PC1250 with environmental dredge bucket outfitted with a HYPACKTM bucket positioning system, conducted the majority of the mechanical dredging in the Offshore Area.  Charter Contracting self-performed the mechanical dredging in the Nearshore Area using a combination of barge-based equipment (Komatsu PC1250, PC600, and PC300).  Dredging was conducted within turbidity curtains (either stand-alone curtains or a mobile resuspension system) to minimize impacts to surface water outside the work area.

But Erisman supported having softer materials, such as sand-filled coir bags, instead of harder, wider geotubes. Coir bags are set at the base of the bluff in several areas beside the existing geotube already.
