Methane in Coastal Blue Carbon EcosystemCIFOR-ICRAF
Presented by Judith A. Rosentreter
(Postdoctoral Researcher Centre for Coastal Biogeochemistry Southern Cross University, Lismore, Australia) on 25 September 2019 at Blue Carbon Regional Workshop, Merida, Yucatan.
On April 9th, 2010, the NC Division of Pollution Prevention and Environmental Assistance conducted a webinar about the link between recycling and climate change. These are the slides.
There is a close connection, or nexus, between energy and water. It takes a significant amount of water to create energy. Energy is also used in great quantities during the supply and treatment of waste water.
For the year 2011 in the United States electricity from fossil fuels and nuclear energy required 190 billion gallons of water a day accounting for 39% of all the freshwater withdrawals while 4% off all power generation was used for water supply and treatment.
Water and energy problems are connected to each other in such a way that, in spite of some partial and short-term success, partial responses are bound to fail in the long-term.
Water and energy policy, planning and management must be integrated to encourage conservation, motivate innovation and ensure sustainable use of water and energy.
Hear about how interconnection of water and energy and how these two resources will be intertwined forever.

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.

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.

"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.

• Increases property values, recreation

28. Tool: Climate-Smart Restoration Palette
Planting more species that:
• Withstand extremes
• Provide food year-round for
disrupted phenologies

marshes-and-climate-change/ Callaway, 2015
• Flood/Sea Level Rise protection
• Improve water quality
• Sequester Carbon
• Provide fish and wildlife habitat
Accelerate NbS with natural infrastructure for multiple benefits
31. Innovate tidal marsh restoration
Accelerate NbS: Test mound design
Sonoma Baylands, San Pablo Bay
32. Ecological Engineering: Horizontal Levees
--- accelerate NbS
Cheong et al Coastal Adaptation with Ecological Engineering Nature Climate Change Aug 2013
The Horizontal Levees Feb 2013 http://www.bay.org/publications/the-horizontal-levee
Tidal marshes combined with earthen levees can reduce costs by almost 50%
34. Restore seagrass- sequester C, reduce acidification
impacts, increase habitat, slow wave action

35. Invest in urban green infrastructure e.g., rain
gardens, permeable streets, curb cuts/bio-swales, green alleys
Sunset Blvd Rain Gardens
Holloway Avenue permeable pavements and parking areas
Chinatown Living Alley
37. No more ‘business as usual’
- Stop greenhouse gas
pollution,
- Transition to clean, efficient
and equitable energy and
water-use economy, and,
- Make nature-based, multi-
benefit approaches an equal
priority.
38. “We have to wake up to
the fierce urgency of the
now”
Jim Yong Kim on Climate Change
President, The World Bank
39. What do we need to do?
• Reduce our footprint- zero waste, carbon neutral
• Not just protect but actively manage to accelerate
NbS
• Prioritize actions for multiple benefits to nature and
people in watershed/ecosystem context
• Engage local communities & collaborate across
sectors
• Invest in demonstration projects and scale up with
standardized metrics and regular monitoring
• Practice the TEN% Rule: Test and Experiment Now!
40. Eyes on the Horizon; Boots on the Trail!
Be bold, take risks,
innovate and act now
to accelerate
nature’s benefits for
wildlife & people
41. Major Bi-Partisan Investments in
Conservation Pay Off!
Water flowing, carbon sequestered, wildlife thriving and
communities healthy despite extensive drought May, 2037
