The desire to address the critical need for water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) in schools is gaining momentum worldwide. The lack of clean drinking water, toilet facilities for girls and boys and good hygiene practices in schools has a negative impact on the health and cognitive abilities of the entire school population, leads to absenteeism and affects girls especially hard.
This webinar highlights HIP's experience fostering a supportive environment and models for WASH-Friendly Schools in Madagascar and Ethiopia and materials developed to help schools become WASH-friendly.
Presentation by Sarah Fry, USAID-HIP Senior Hygiene Programming Advisor, followed by a Q&A with Sarah and Julia Rosenbaum, USAID-HIP Deputy Director. Moderated by Patricia Mantey, USAID-HIP Knowledge Management Specialist.

"Understanding the Carbon Cycle: Processes, Human Impacts, and Strategies for...MMariSelvam4
The carbon cycle is a critical component of Earth's environmental system, governing the movement and transformation of carbon through various reservoirs, including the atmosphere, oceans, soil, and living organisms. This complex cycle involves several key processes such as photosynthesis, respiration, decomposition, and carbon sequestration, each contributing to the regulation of carbon levels on the planet.
Human activities, particularly fossil fuel combustion and deforestation, have significantly altered the natural carbon cycle, leading to increased atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations and driving climate change. Understanding the intricacies of the carbon cycle is essential for assessing the impacts of these changes and developing effective mitigation strategies.
By studying the carbon cycle, scientists can identify carbon sources and sinks, measure carbon fluxes, and predict future trends. This knowledge is crucial for crafting policies aimed at reducing carbon emissions, enhancing carbon storage, and promoting sustainable practices. The carbon cycle's interplay with climate systems, ecosystems, and human activities underscores its importance in maintaining a stable and healthy planet.
In-depth exploration of the carbon cycle reveals the delicate balance required to sustain life and the urgent need to address anthropogenic influences. Through research, education, and policy, we can work towards restoring equilibrium in the carbon cycle and ensuring a sustainable future for generations to come.
UNDERSTANDING WHAT GREEN WASHING IS!.pdfJulietMogola
Many companies today use green washing to lure the public into thinking they are conserving the environment but in real sense they are doing more harm. There have been such several cases from very big companies here in Kenya and also globally. This ranges from various sectors from manufacturing and goes to consumer products. Educating people on greenwashing will enable people to make better choices based on their analysis and not on what they see on marketing sites.
Climate Change All over the World .pptxsairaanwer024
Climate change refers to significant and lasting changes in the average weather patterns over periods ranging from decades to millions of years. It encompasses both global warming driven by human emissions of greenhouse gases and the resulting large-scale shifts in weather patterns. While climate change is a natural phenomenon, human activities, particularly since the Industrial Revolution, have accelerated its pace and intensity

Characterization and the Kinetics of drying at the drying oven and with micro...Open Access Research Paper
The objective of this work is to contribute to valorization de Nephelium lappaceum by the characterization of kinetics of drying of seeds of Nephelium lappaceum. The seeds were dehydrated until a constant mass respectively in a drying oven and a microwawe oven. The temperatures and the powers of drying are respectively: 50, 60 and 70°C and 140, 280 and 420 W. The results show that the curves of drying of seeds of Nephelium lappaceum do not present a phase of constant kinetics. The coefficients of diffusion vary between 2.09.10-8 to 2.98. 10-8m-2/s in the interval of 50°C at 70°C and between 4.83×10-07 at 9.04×10-07 m-8/s for the powers going of 140 W with 420 W the relation between Arrhenius and a value of energy of activation of 16.49 kJ. mol-1 expressed the effect of the temperature on effective diffusivity.

Editor's Notes
The Green Team is an educational program funded by the MassDEP and administered by the Center for EcoTechnology that empowers students and teachers to help the environment through waste reduction, recycling, composting, energy conservation, and pollution prevention.
Last year, almost 60,000 students from 300 Massachusetts schools participated in the program.
The program has several key elements – I’ll provide a brief overview of the program as a whole and focus on Green Team resources related to recycling, composting, and other waste diversion activities.
The Green Team offers and assortment of free resources for schools.
Lots of resources and information available on the Green Team website.
The Green Team sends every teacher who registers for the Green Team a kit full of lesson plans and activities.
Schools participating in the Green Team can request free recycling and composting equipment. (more on this later)
They can also request free signs and materials for starting an idle reduction program at their school.
All participating schools are eligible for recognition and prizes from the Green Team.
The Green Team website is packed with useful resources and information. Some highlights include:
Green Team guides on starting a recycling or food waste diversion program at your school
a video about composting at school
and links to tons of waste-diversion related resources.
Soon to come source separation instructional video!
The Green Team provides teachers with educational resources such as activities and lesson plans.
These resources are available through kits mailed to every registered teacher, on the Green Team website, and in monthly email newsletters.
These include clean air lesson plan, an activity empowers students to improve air quality around their schools by promoting an idle free zone.
The Slash Trash Activity, fun and popular activity where students track how much they are throwing away and identify ways to divert that waste.
As part of their effort to improve recycling at their school, students at Sharon Middle School created a display of all the items thrown in the trash one week that should have been in the recycling. The display was eye-catching and made an impact on students who paid more attention to how they disposed of their trash and recycling in the weeks that followed.
The Green Team provides schools with access to free equipment such as recycling carts and bins, compost bins, and vouchers for composting worms.
This free equipment is a big motivator for participation in the Green Team.
Last year, 80 schools received this equipment.
This photo is from Conway Grammar School which received a worm voucher from the Green Team to start vermicomposting at their school.
When schools request bins, they often remark on how though their school has recycling, they need more bins in order to divert recyclables from every classroom, office, and auxiliary space.
Last year, we distributed 43 compost bins and 16 worm vouchers to receive worms for composting as pictured in the images.
Green Team participants are recognized for their efforts on the Green Team website, in local media, and with year-end prizes.
Last year, Edward Parthum Middle School in Lawrence was one of the grand prize winners. The school reported a wide diversity of Green Team activities last year. In the beginning of the school year, students take the initiative to create informational posters to recruit other students for Green Team projects and events. As a result, students from the middle school made a garbage mosaic that says "The ball's in YOUR court. Recycle.“. Students from elementary school paint trash cans, as pictured, to look like “trash monsters”. Their school received a gift certificate to get paint supplies rewarding them for all their efforts.
Sixty-two Green Teams received awards last year.
Comprehensive kitchen and cafeteria program, as seen in the image:
Food waste diversion has been implemented in five out of seven elementary schools, with the remaining two scheduled to join by the end of the 2017-2018 school year. All the schools have new signage in their lunchrooms as well as new stickers on all recycling toters. A sign with best management practices for classroom recycling and relevant contact information is posted in teachers' rooms at all the schools.
Tours to recycling facilities:
Arlington schools have been proactive in developing their student’s understanding of waste diversion by organizing tours to various recycling facilities. ActiGators, a creative and enthusiastic environmental team at the Arlington Middle School, took a trip to E.L. Harvey’s recycling facility. Students from Dallin Elementary School had an opportunity to tour GreenWorks’ recycling center in Peabody, and interviewed Greenworks employees for the town’s PWD television network.
Textile recycling, as seen in the image:
In addition, all nine public schools in Arlington participated in a Textile Recovery Challenge, organized by the Green Team program, collecting tons of textiles for donation and recycling.
I’d like to mention briefly another MassDEP program that has helped make this district-wide effort possible – a Sustainable Materials Recovery Program (SMRP) grant. These grants, which are a nice compliment to the resources available through the Green Team, can help tackle waste diversion on a district-wide scale.
Soon to come!
Thank you to Amy Donovan from Franklin Solid Waste Management District
Any K-12 school in Massachusetts, whether public or private, is welcome to participate in the Green Team. The program is organized around having teachers register their classes – however, any adult affiliated with a school (whether it be a teacher, administrator, club leader, or PTA volunteer) is welcome to register. We frequently get registrations from after school programs, gardening clubs, and even entire schools.
You can register for free any time for the current school year. One really easy option is to register today – is to stop by the CET booth, where we have ipads set up and can walk you through registration.
If you register and fill out a Teacher Response Form by March 31, you can receive recognition and prizes for the current school year.
