Pyrmont ultimo is one of the fastest growing areas of Sydney, located in the inner city on the western bridge of the Commercial building disclosure.

Running head: BORN TO THE LAND 1 Born to the Land BORN TO THE LAND 2 "Environmental history unites the oldest themes with the newest in contemporary historiography: the evolution of epidemics and climate, those two factors being integral parts of the human ecosystem; the series of natural calamities aggravated by a lack of foresight . . . ; the destruction of Nature, caused by soaring population and/or by the predators of industrial overconsumption; nuisances of urban and manufacturing origin, which lead to air or water pollution; human congestion or noise levels in urban areas, in a period of galloping urbanization,” stated Emmanuel Le Roy Ladurie. Environmental history is an all-encompassing
And although they offer financial and technical support, there are still problems on the Northern Beaches coastline. The erosion on Collaroy Beach is one of the worst cases in NSW, and without efficient action the problem will only get worse. In 2002 the Warringah council proposed to build a seawall on the beach. This was met with much criticism from the community, mainly due to the fact that a seawall would destroy the beaches natural beauty, something that no one wants to see. The designs for the sea wall cost roughly $100,000, and to build the wall would cost upwards of $11,000,000, of which 40% would be paid by the homeowners of Collaroy.
Dear Board of Directors, The citizens of the city of Riverside are concerned with the pollution of Cherokee River and encourage the Kardell Paper Co. to switch to operational systems which are more environmentally friendly to reduce the health risks that are affecting our community.

The contaminants have been traced back to the industrial waste from the Kardell plant. The high readings of the contaminants shown were a result of tests conducted near the industrial pipes of the plant.

Assistance with funding the installation of levees, making grants available and having community fundraisers will help assist in accomplishing the goals of this plan. Support of The Department of Environmental Protection will help to institute recommended guidelines pertaining to flooding prevention and protection of the environment from flooding. Anthropogenic impacts on river flooding are visible in changed river management practices. (Daniel, Florax & Rietveld, 2009). Examples of urbanization that increases the risk of river floods include construction in floodplains, channel straightening, building of dikes, and construction activity generating impermeable surfaces includes transport infrastructure and residential areas.
More updated methods of accelerating decomposition have been introduced in more recent years, however, these liquids are still potentially leaking. Even state-of-the-art landfills contribute to massive pollution to groundwater. While grasses in the creek Royte describes, act as erosion control and natural filters and some organisms seemed to continue to thrive is such horrid conditions, the author mentions that she later learned that pollutants from the water were showing up in bird eggs and chicks and jeopardizing their long term
