A City in Blue and Green by Peter G. Rowe,Limin Hee Pdf
This open access book highlights Singapore’s development into a city in which water and greenery, along with associated environmental, technical, social and political aspects have been harnessed and cultivated into a liveable sustainable way of life. It is also a story about a unique and thoroughgoing approach to large-scale and potentially transferable water sustainability, within largely urbanized circumstances, which can be achieved, along with complementary roles of environmental conservation, ecology, public open-space management and the greening of buildings, together with infrastructural improvements.
How an alliance of the labor and environmental movements used law as a tool to clean up the trucking industry at the nation's largest port. In Blue and Green, Scott Cummings examines a campaign by the labor and environmental movements to transform trucking at America's largest port in Los Angeles. Tracing the history of struggle in an industry at the epicenter of the global supply chain, Cummings shows how an unprecedented “blue-green” alliance mobilized to improve working conditions for low-income drivers and air quality in nearby communities. The campaign for “clean trucks,” Cummings argues, teaches much about how social movements can use law to challenge inequality in a global era. Cummings shows how federal deregulation created interrelated economic and environmental problems at the port and how the campaign fought back by mobilizing law at the local level. He documents three critical stages: initial success in passing landmark legislation requiring port trucking companies to convert trucks from dirty to clean and drivers from contractors to employees with full labor rights; campaign decline after industry litigation blocked employee conversion; and campaign resurgence through an innovative legal approach to driver misclassification that realized a central labor movement goal—unionizing port truckers. Appraising the campaign, Cummings analyzes the tradeoffs of using alternative legal frameworks to promote labor organizing, and explores lessons for building movements to regulate low-wage work in the “gig” economy. He shows how law can bind coalitions together and split them apart, and concludes that the fight for legal reform never ends, but rather takes different turns on the long road to justice.
Blue and Yellow Don't Make Green by Michael Wilcox Pdf

Clean, Green and Blue by Yong Soon Tan,Tung Jean Lee,Karen Tan Pdf
When Singapore became a sovereign state in 1965, the fledgling nation faced very similar problems as most other developing countries: high unemployment, low standard of living, and poor environmental conditions. In a scant four decades, it has become the 6th wealthiest country in the world in terms of per capita GDP and has managed its environment so well that it is now considered to be one of the best in the world. In this remarkable book, Tan Yong Soon authoritatively and objectively analyses how the environmental conditions were radically transformed within this period, and the enabling conditions which made this extraordinary transformation possible. This book will unquestionably make all Singaporeans proud of their environmental achievements, and at the same time enable other countries, both developed and developing, to learn many lessons from a most remarkable success story. This book is a must read for any individual interested in environment-development issues. -Prof Asit K. Biswas, President, Third World Centre for Water Management, Mexico and Distinguished Visiting Professor, Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy, Singapore.

“It had my heart racing and my stomach clenching with anxiety. Then the end was written so beautifully and demonstrated the writer’s gift with thought and word. I will read anything she writes.” Lola Copeland, Goodreads Reviewer Inspired by the courageous and passionate pack horse librarians of the 1930s, Where Green Meets Blue intertwines the roots of The Giver of Stars with all the imagination and resilience we love in Anne of Green Gables. Marian lives in a world of her making, protected by her own cleverness and the characters of her mother's books. Drawing from their strength, she forges her escape from a brutal childhood and takes to the wild. There she finds hope in a rare position for women, tucked into the Appalachians, working as a pack horse librarian. Though it requires her to venture along cliff edges and through iced-over creeks, she knows what magic she carries in her pack to those isolated mountain families. It's in a small cabin that she begins teaching a handsome widower's two children how to read and discovers new kinds of love, different from any she has known. Yet as danger closes in, Marian must decide between all she has ever wanted—to be as free as the birds—and a dream she has only just begun to believe in. Raw and lyrical, Where Green Meets Blue is a mesmerizing novel of love, resilience, and the belief that a story, like a pressed flower in a book, can help us hold onto all that is beautiful.
