Seattle Neighborhood Greenways presents to Seattle Parks FoundationSeaGreenways
Two years ago Bands of Green report and SNG presented a vision in Seattle. Two years later, staff and politicians in the City of Seattle have fully embraced the idea of greenways, with 7 miles completed and investments actually far in excess of $5 million for safe green streets construction that were recommended by local greenways groups all over the city. How did we do it?
The fact is, in most cities close to 30% of land mass is devoted to cars – land is our most valuable resource and we’ve given most of it over to parking and moving cars. Greenways take back just a bit of that land and remake streets as places for people. We’re all about walking and biking and safe streets, but we believe in more than just slowing traffic. Streets can be places for gardens, trees, furniture, storm water retention.

The City of Springfield is implementing a Complete Streets Policy to ensure that the roadways are designed and maintained with all users in mind. Building on a needs assessment and “PhotoVoice” community input process, HLA and community partners, including students from the local university, assessed factors in the physical and social environment that hinder or facilitate physical activity in specific neighborhoods. Findings help to guide the prioritization process and allocation of funds to ensure walking and biking in Springfield is safe and easy.
JSI provided capacity building assistance to the Healthy Living Alliance,a consortium of organization working to to implement strategies to increase healthy eating and active living, to advance progress toward 'complete street' goals.

Communities across the country are giving new purpose to wood that once lined city streets and parks. As many urban canopies decline due to old age and environmental stress, regional and local partnerships have emerged to sustainably re-purpose excess wood. Nonprofits are partnering with private companies to develop these innovative wood recovery methods. From creating lumber for floors and furniture to woodchip mulch, organizations are reaping the continued benefits of urban trees and also raising funds to support re-planting efforts.
In response to the growing need for access to fresh and nutritious food in cities, community organizations are training residents to grow and maintain their own fruit and nut trees. To help urban greening professionals improve the health and livability of neighborhoods by planting and caring for fruit and nut trees, Alliance for Community Trees launched the Community Groves℠ program in 2013. Community Groves℠ resources and best practices enable local organizations to address issues of nutrition, land use, and food access through tree planting and care. Fruit and nut trees can be your next step towards healthier, more sustainable, and more secure communities.

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.
