Mayor John Tory announced new money for a "transformational project" that could eventually change where the Don River empties into Lake Ontario, making way for a redeveloped Port Lands area.
Redeveloping the 880 acres of space near Toronto's Port Lands, which could eventually cost billions, is currently hindered by the flooding risk posed by the river. Re-routing the flow of the Don could allow many of the projects to move forward.

The federal and provincial governments committed almost $6 million recently to help fund a wastewater project that is crucial to future development and environmental protection, according to Amherstburg's Mayor Aldo DiCarlo.
DiCarlo said the grants constitute two-thirds of the estimated $8.8 million sewage diversion project that will see upgrades to several pumping stations, the construction of a new force main, which will take wastewater to the town's treatment plant, and the decommissioning of lagoons in the Edgewater area on the north end of town.

The Pacific Ocean taunts California with its salty surf.
As the state scorches through record drought, there sits the world's largest body of water crashing up daily on its shores.
But many jurisdictions along the Golden State's coast are now reconsidering that ocean as a potential solution to their parched climate. Outside San Diego, construction is almost finished on a $1 billion privately-owned facility that will convert some 210 million litres of salt water a day to drinking water for area businesses and homes.

Australian companies are searching high and low for new graphite deposits, and their hunt is seeing old mines re-open from Port Lincoln to northern Sweden.
Graphite is an important industrial material, used in batteries, laptops, lubricants, construction materials, medicine and, of course, pencils.
Its derivative, graphene, is just a single atom thick, 150 times stronger than steel and more conductive than silicon or copper.

Planet Earth is situated in what astronomers call the Goldilocks Zone — a sweet spot in a solar system where a planet's surface temperature is neither too hot nor too cold. An ideal distance from a home star — in Earth's case, the sun — this habitable zone, as it is also known, creates optimal conditions that prevent water from freezing and generating a global icehouse or evaporating into space and creating a runaway greenhouse.
