How smartphones are heating up the planet
March 25, 2018 5.03pm EDT
When we think about climate change, the main sources of carbon emissions that come to
mind for most of us are heavy industries like petroleum, mining and transportation.
Rarely do we point the finger at computer technologies.
In fact, many experts view the cyber-world of information and computer technologies
(ICT) as our potential saviour, replacing many of our physical activities with a lower-
carbon virtual alternative.
That is not what our study, recently published in the Journal of Cleaner Production,
suggests.
Having conducted a meticulous and fairly exhaustive inventory of the contribution of ICT
—including devices like PCs, laptops, monitors, smartphones and tablets — and
infrastructure like data centres and communication networks, we found that the relative
contribution of ICT to the total global footprint is expected to grow from about one per cent
in 2007 to 3.5 per cent by 2020 and reaching 14 per cent by 2040.
That’s more than half the relative contribution of the entire transportation sector worldwide.
Another disconcerting finding is that all this extraordinary growth is mostly incremental, essentially
shattering the hope that ICT will help reduce the global carbon footprint by substituting physical
activities with their virtual counterparts.
Smart phones are rarely recycled and that’s just one reason tech devices are increasing our carbon footprints. Here Phil Schiller, Apple’s senior vice
president of worldwide marketing, is seen in 2016 talking about new iPhones. (AP Photo/Marcio Jose Sanchez, File)

The impact of smartphones
Perhaps the most surprising result of our study was the disproportionate contribution of smartphones
relative to the overall ICT footprint.
We found that the relative emissions share of smartphones is expected to grow from four per cent in
2010 to 11 per cent by 2020, dwarfing the individual contributions of PCs, laptops and computer
displays.
In absolute values, emissions caused by smartphones will jump from 17 to 125 megatons of CO2
equivalent per year (Mt-CO2e/yr) in that time span, or a 730 per cent growth.
The lion’s share of this footprint (85 to 95 per cent) will be caused not by the use of the device, but
rather by its production. That includes, in addition to the manufacturing energy, the energy for
material mining for gold and the so-called rare-earth elements like yttrium, lanthanium and several
others that today are almost exclusively available only from China.
Another guilty participant in this excessive carbon footprint .

1. a twelve minute powerpoint presentation with at least 12 slides not including a reference list. If you use images, you must provide proper attribution. Be focused and provide something your peers will find useful not what we could find on a Wikipedia page.
2. An annotated reference list of at least five references. Annotations are notes. In this case write two paragraphs about each source. The first is a summary of what the source informs and the second is why it is valuable.
3. A one page single spaced summary of what you learned in this project. it should be written in essay format with no bullet or numbered lists. It must include quotes from your sources which must be surrounded by quotation marks and cited in-line. It must have an informative title which should not be too broad but should focus attention on your topic.
This is the proposal that we made for final project.
IoT Threats to Database Security
I choose "IoT Threats to Database Security" topic as my final project. The interconnection that exists between physical devices and objects in the world has been brought about by the Internet of things concept. However, despite the numerous benefits that have come with the incorporation of the IoT in the running of activities within organizations there are also threats that have also come with these Internet connections that have to be taken care of. Therefore, the main reason behind selection of this topic is the consideration of the security threats that IoT causes to the database of any organization.
Organizational data is crucial for the success of any company. (Chin, Li & Chen, 2017), "Critical decision making processes require the use of data to make precise decisions effective in solving issues that the organization might be facing". As such, it’s important that databases are secure to avoid leakage of such important information stored by the organization. Internet of things is a threat to such data due to the insecurity that might a raise between the web interfaces. Therefore, the management should be able to analyze the security of its interfaces so that insecurity issues arising from the interconnection of the Internet do not pose a threat to the use of the organizational databases.
Besides that, Internet of things poses threats to the database` security whenever there are insufficient authentication and authorization process. Internet has become accessible to most parts of the world. Most of the people use Internet to execute their activities. However, there are those that use Internet connections to execute their malicious activities. In this case, organizations become vulnerable whenever the authorization and authentication process is not secured which might lead to easy accessibility by unwanted people. Ma et al.

Sentiment analysis of comments in social media IJECEIAES
Social media platforms are witnessing a significant growth in both size and purpose. One specific aspect of social media platforms is sentiment analysis, by which insights into the emotions and feelings of a person can be inferred from their posted text. Research related to sentiment analysis is acquiring substantial interest as it is a promising filed that can improve user experience and provide countless personalized services. Twitter is one of the most popular social media platforms, it has users from different regions with a variety of cultures and languages. It can thus provide valuable information for a diverse and large amount of data to be used to improve decision making. In this paper, the sentiment orientation of the textual features and emoji-based components is studied targeting “Tweets” and comments posted in Arabic on Twitter, during the 2018 world cup event. This study also measures the significance of analyzing texts including or excluding emojis. The data is obtained from thousands of extracted tweets, to find the results of sentiment analysis for texts and emojis separately. Results show that emojis support the sentiment orientation of the texts and those texts or emojis cannot separately provide reliable information as they complement each other to give the intended meaning.

Green Hydrogen Manufacturing A Review of Opportunities and Challenges for Dig...ijtsrd
The manufacturing of green hydrogen has emerged as a promising avenue for sustainable energy production, but it also presents significant challenges in terms of cost, efficiency, and scalability. Digital twin technology has the potential to address these challenges by providing real time monitoring and control, enabling predictive maintenance, and supporting simulation modeling. In this paper, we explore the opportunities and challenges associated with digital twin technology in the context of green hydrogen manufacturing.

The ever increasing demand of computing power has led to the development of extremely large systems that consist of millions of components. Sustainable large scale computing systems can extend themselves to extreme scales. Both extreme and exascale computing defy the common wisdom of HPC and are regarded as unorthodox, but they could turn out to be indispensable necessities in the near future 1 .

Due to technological advances, vast data sets (e.g. big data) are increasing now days. Big Data a new term; is used
to identify the collected datasets. But due to their large size and complexity, we cannot manage with our current
methodologies or data mining software tools to extract those datasets. Such datasets provide us with unparalleled
opportunities for modelling and predicting of future with new challenges. So as an awareness of this and
weaknesses as well as the possibilities of these large data sets, are necessary to forecast the future. Today’s we
have an overwhelming growth of data in terms of volume, velocity and variety on web. Moreover this, from a
security and privacy views, both area have an unpredictable growth. So Big Data challenge is becoming one of the
most exciting opportunities for researchers in upcoming years.
Hence this paper discuss about this topic in a broad overview like; its current status; controversy; and challenges to
forecast the future. This paper defines at some of these problems, using illustrations with applications from various
areas. Finally this paper discuss secure management and privacy of big data as one of essential issues.

Green Hydrogen Manufacturing A Review of Opportunities and Challenges for Dig...ijtsrd
The manufacturing of green hydrogen has emerged as a promising avenue for sustainable energy production, but it also presents significant challenges in terms of cost, efficiency, and scalability. Digital twin technology has the potential to address these challenges by providing real time monitoring and control, enabling predictive maintenance, and supporting simulation modeling. In this paper, we explore the opportunities and challenges associated with digital twin technology in the context of green hydrogen manufacturing.

The ever increasing demand of computing power has led to the development of extremely large systems that consist of millions of components. Sustainable large scale computing systems can extend themselves to extreme scales. Both extreme and exascale computing defy the common wisdom of HPC and are regarded as unorthodox, but they could turn out to be indispensable necessities in the near future 1 . This paper provides a primer on extreme computing. Matthew N. O. Sadiku | Adedamola A. Omotoso | Sarhan M.

Due to technological advances, vast data sets (e.g. big data) are increasing now days. Big Data a new term; is used
to identify the collected datasets. But due to their large size and complexity, we cannot manage with our current
methodologies or data mining software tools to extract those datasets. Such datasets provide us with unparalleled
opportunities for modelling and predicting of future with new challenges. So as an awareness of this and
weaknesses as well as the possibilities of these large data sets, are necessary to forecast the future. Today’s we
have an overwhelming growth of data in terms of volume, velocity and variety on web. Moreover this, from a
security and privacy views, both area have an unpredictable growth. So Big Data challenge is becoming one of the
most exciting opportunities for researchers in upcoming years.
Hence this paper discuss about this topic in a broad overview like; its current status; controversy; and challenges to
forecast the future. This paper defines at some of these problems, using illustrations with applications from various
areas. Finally this paper discuss secure management and privacy of big data as one of essential issues.
Story of Bigdata and its Applications in Financial Institutionsijtsrd
The importance of BigData is indeed nothing new, but being able to manage data efficiently is just now becoming more attainable. Although data management has evolved considerably since the 1800's, advancements made in recent years that have made the process even more efficient. Technique of Data mining, is much used in the banking industry, which helps banks compete in the market and provide the right product to the right customer. While collecting and combining different sources of data into a single significant volumetric Golden Source of TRUTH can be achieved by applying the right combination of tools.

Developing a Basic Logic
Model For Your Program
Drawing a picture of how your program will achieve results
hether you are a grantseeker developing a proposal for start-up funds or a
grantee with a program already in operation, developing a logic model can
strengthen your program. Logic models help identify the factors that will
impact your program and enable you to anticipate the data and resources
you will need to achieve success. As you engage in the process of creating your
program logic model, your organization will systematically address these important
program planning and evaluation issues:
• Cataloguing of the resources and actions you believe you will need to reach intended
results.
• Documentation of connections among your available resources, planned activities and
the results you expect to achieve.
• Description of the results you are aiming for in terms of specific, measurable, action-
oriented, realistic and timed outcomes.
The exercises in this chapter gather the raw material you need to draw a basic logic
model that illustrates how and why your program will work and what it will accomplish.
You can benefit from creating a logic model at any point in the life of any program.
The logic model development process helps people inside and outside your
organization understand and improve the purpose and process of your work.
Chapter 2 is organized into two sections—Program Implementation, and Program
Results. The best recipe for program success is to complete both exercises. (Full-size
masters of each exercise and the checklists are provided in the Forms Appendix at the
back of the guide for you to photocopy and use with stakeholder groups as you design
your program.)
Exercise 1: Program Results. In a series of three steps, you describe the results you
plan to achieve with your program.
Exercise 2: Program Resources and Activities by taking you through three steps
that connect the program’s resources to the actual activities you plan to do.

The Mytown Example
Throughout Exercises 1 and 2 we’ll follow an example program to see how the logic
model steps can be applied. In our example, the folks in Mytown, USA are striving to
meet the needs of growing numbers of uninsured residents who are turning to Memorial
Hospital’s Emergency Room for care. Because that care is expensive and not the best
way to offer care, the community is working to create a free clinic. Throughout the
chapters, Mytown’s program information will be dropped into logic model templates for
Program Planning, Implementation, and Evaluation.
Novice Logic modelers may want to have copies of the Basic Logic Model Template in
front of them and follow along. Those read.

1. The first issue that jumped out to me is that the president and two vice presidents were the ones to develop the program. Our lecture notes and the text tell us that safety is one topic where management and employees can usually come to an agreement. Everyone wants a safe work environment. We are also taught that consultation is the best way to approach health and safety at work. Again, this means involving more than three people at the company. For starters, I would recommend that the safety program be dismantled and reconstructed by a committee consisting of at least 50% employees, not just senior leadership. I would keep this committee as small as possible and not have it controlled by one person only. The committee should be formed of employees from all sections and representing all possible departments where health and safety are potential issues.

1. 1.Top of Form
There could be a number of problems with CMI's safety awareness plan. One major one is that they could not be promoting safety. That is the first step into getting the program to work...employee involvement. First the awareness program was developed by the president and the vice presidents. A safety awareness program can be more successful if employees are involved in the development, and remain involved as it is adjusted and refined. Rules should be in place, and employers must ensure that those rules are followed and enforced consistently. Incentives and competition could be another way to promote safety in the work place. Our text cites that having employees work in teams and have them determine the incentives will keep them involved and promote safety. Also, of course keeping employees up to date on all rules will also promote safety.
2. I think the supervisor's response to employee complaints about John Randall is not appropriate at all. Even thought it is difficult, home problems should not be brought into the work place. Especially if coworkers are complaining about someone's behavior. This does not promote safety at all. To say that Randall will get over it and to disclose that he has personal problems is.

Perceptions Impact
Your Market?
By Nicole Olynk Widmar and
Melissa McKendree, Purdue University
I aintaining existing mar-
kets for pork products,
I cultivating new markets
for existing products and
creating new products for new markets
are some avenues that the U.S. pork
industry has sought, and continues to
explore, for growth. When it comes to
maintaining markets, there are several
relationships that must be considered.
End consumers, whether in restaurant
or supermarket settings, are increas-
ingly interested in social issues and the
production processes employed in food
production. Livestock products (meat
and dairy products) certainly seem
to get the majority of the spotlight in
regard to consumers' concern for pro-
duction processes.
Shoppers in supermarkets and din-
ers in restaurants have increased access
to information via the Internet, and are
in constant communication with one
another via social media and alterna-
tive news sources about perceptions
of animal agriculture. Even though
most U.S. consumers are not directly
in contact with livestock, concern for
the treatment of animals, including
those employed in food production,
is evident — and increasing. While
in the past consumers were mainly
concerned with factors like the fat or
nutritional content of pork, for exam-
ple, today's savvy shoppers are con-
sidering other factors, like the welfare
of livestock (pigs), safety of workers
employed on farms and potential envi-
ronmental impacts (externalities) of
livestock operations.
Large-scale changes in production
practices are taking place in livestock
24 April 15, 2014
production due to pressures from vari-
ous interested parties. Changes such
as the discontinued use of gestation
stalls, for example, are being sought
via traditional regulatory channels in
some states, but are also being pushed
via non-traditional market channels.
Consider the cumbersome process
of changing regulations, versus the
oftentimes faster (and perhaps easier)
channel of influencing key market
actors. It is no surprise that consum-
ers' concerns are increasingly voiced to
supermarkets and restaurants which,
in turn, take action to satisfy their
customers by placing pressure on sup-
ply-chain players. Changes sought via
"the market," rather than legislation or
regulation, are increasingly common,
and the use of market channels for
communicating throughout the supply
chain is unlikely to stop anytime soon.

s the global economy has become more integrated and urbanized,
fueled in large part by technology, major cities and metropolitan
areas have become key engines of economic growth. The 123 largest
metro areas in the world generate nearly one third of global output
with only 13 percent of the world’s population.
In this urban-centered world, the classic notion of a
global city has been upended. This report introduces
a redefined map of global cities, drawing on a new
typology that demonstrates how metro areas vary in
the ways they attract and amass economic drivers
and contribute to global economic growth in distinct
ways. New concerns about economic stagnation—in
both developing and developed economies—add
urgency to mapping the role of the world’s cities and
the extent to which they are well-positioned to deliver
the next round of global growth.1
Instead of a ranking or indexed score, which many
prior cities indices and reports have capably deliv-
ered,2 this analysis differentiates the assets and
challenges faced by seven types of global cities.
This perspective reveals that all major cities are
indeed global; they participate as critical nodes in
an integrated marketplace and are shaped by global
currents. But cities also operate from much differ-
ent starting points and experience diverse economic
trajectories. Concerns about global growth, productiv-
ity, and wages are not monolithic, and so this typology
can inform the variety of paths cities take to address
these challenges. For metro leaders, this typology
can also ensure better application of peer com-
parisons, enable the identification of more relevant
global innovations to local challenges, and reinforce a
city-region’s relative role and performance to inform
economic strategies that ensure ongoing prosperity.
This report proceeds in four parts. In the following
section, Part II, we explore the three global forces of
urbanization, globalization, and technological change,
and how together they are demanding that city-
regions focus on five core factors—traded clusters,
innovation, talent, infrastructure connectivity, and
governance—to bolster their economic competitive-
ness. Building on these factors, Part III outlines the
data and methods deployed to create the metropoli-
tan typology. Part IV explores the collective economic
clout of the metro areas in our sample and introduces
the new typology of global cities. Finally, Part V
explores the future investments, policies, and strate-
gies required for each grouping of metro areas. Within
the typology framework, we explore the priorities for
action going forward, including the implications for
governance.

• To understand the power of blockchain systems, and the things they can do, it is important to
distinguish between three things that are commonly muddled up, namely the bitcoin currency,
the specific blockchain that underpins it and the idea of blockchains in general.
• Economist, 2015
WHAT IS BLOCKCHAIN?
• A technology that permits transactions to be recorded
– Cryptographically chains blocks in order
– Allows resulting ledger accessed by different servers
– Information stored can never be deleted
• A digital distributed ledger that is stored and maintained on multiple systems belonging to multiple
entities sharing identical information (Deloitte)
• Bitcoin was the first demonstrable use
HISTORY OF BLOCKCHAIN
T YPES OF BLOCKCHAINS
• public or permissionless blockchains
– everyone who wants to engage in the network can openly see all transactions. The technology is
transparent, and all who want to engage in making transactions on the blockchain can do so.
• private or permissioned blockchains
– closed and accessible only to a selected few who have permission to engage in the blockchain.
BLOCKCHAIN FEATURES
• A blockchain lets us agree on the state of the system, even if we don’t all trust each other!
• We don’t want a single trusted arbiter of the state of the world.
• A blockchain is a hash chain with some other stuff added
– Validity conditions
– Way to resolve disagreements
• The spread of blockchains is bad for anyone in the “trust business”
WHAT IS BITCOIN
• A protocol that supports a decentralized, pseudo-anonymous, peer-to-peer digital currency
• A publicly disclosed linked ledger of transactions stored in a blockchain
• A reward driven system for achieving consensus (mining) based on “Proofs of Work” for
helping to secure the network
• A “scare token” economy with an eventual cap of about 21M bitcoins

Orientalizing New Spain:
Perspectives on Asian Influence
in Colonial Mexico1
Edward R. Slack, Jr.2
Resumen
E ste artículo investiga la totalidad de la influencia de Asia sobre la Nueva España que resultó de la conquista de Manila en 1571 y la re-gularización del comercio Transpacífico -comúnmente conocido como
los galeones de Manila o las naos de China- entre las Filipinas y Acapulco.
En sus inicios, una oleada constante de inmigrantes asiáticos, mercancías y
nuevas técnicas de producción influyeron mesuradamente en la sociedad y
la economía colonial mediante un proceso que el autor denomina “Orientali-
zación”. No obstante, en ninguna manera “Orientalización” se debe equiparar
con el concepto de Edward Said de “Orientalismo” por la relación histórica,
única e intima de la Nueva España con Asia a principios de la edad Moderna.
Abstract
This article examines the totality of Asia’s influence on New Spain that resulted
from the conquest of Manila in 1571 and the regularization of transpacific tra-
de – more widely known as the Manila Galleons or naos de China – between the
Philippines and Acapulco. In its wake, a steady stream of Asian immigrants,
commodities, and manufacturing techniques measurably impacted colonial
society and economy through a process the author calls “Orientalization.”
However, “Orientalization” should in no way be equated with Edward Said’s

concept of “Orientalism” because of New Spain’s uniquely intimate historical
relationship with Asia in the early Modern era.
Introduction
Contrary to popular belief, the Philippines Islands were more a colony of New
Spain (Nueva España) than of “Old Spain” prior to the nineteenth century.
The Manila galleons, or naos de China (China ships), transported Asian pro-
ducts and peoples to Acapulco and other Mexican ports for approximately
250 years. Riding this ‘first wave’
of maritime contact between
the Americas and Asia were tra-
velers from China, Japan, the
Philippines, various kingdoms in
Southeast Asia and India known
collectively in New Spain as chinos
(Chinese) or indios chinos (Chine-
se Indians), as the word chino/a
became synonymous with the
Orient. The rather indiscrimi-
nate categorizing of everything
“Asian” under the Spanish noun
for the Ming/Qing empire, its
subjects and export items is easily
discovered in a variety of sources
from that age. To illustrate, the
eig hteenth centur y works of
Italian adventurer Gamelli Carreri and the criollo priest Joachin Antonio
de Basarás (who evangelized in Luzon) nonchalantly refer to the Philippine
Islands as “la China.”3 Additionally, words such as chinería (Chinese-esque,
European/Mexican imitation of Chines.
Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

How smartphones are heating up the planet
March 25, 2018 5.03pm EDT
When we think about climate change, the main sources of
carbon emissions that come to
mind for most of us are heavy industries like petroleum, mining
and transportation.
Rarely do we point the finger at computer technologies.
In fact, many experts view the cyber-world of information and
computer technologies
(ICT) as our potential saviour, replacing many of our physical
activities with a lower-
carbon virtual alternative.
2. That is not what our study, recently published in the Journal of
Cleaner Production,
suggests.
Having conducted a meticulous and fairly exhaustive inventory
of the contribution of ICT
—including devices like PCs, laptops, monitors, smartphones
and tablets — and
infrastructure like data centres and communication networks, we
found that the relative
contribution of ICT to the total global footprint is expected to
grow from about one per cent
in 2007 to 3.5 per cent by 2020 and reaching 14 per cent by
2040.
That’s more than half the relative contribution of the entire
transportation sector worldwide.
Another disconcerting finding is that all this extraordinary
growth is mostly incremental, essentially
shattering the hope that ICT will help reduce the global carbon
footprint by substituting physical
activities with their virtual counterparts.
Smart phones are rarely recycled and that’s just one reason tech
devices are increasing our carbon footprints. Here Phil Schiller,
Apple’s senior vice
president of worldwide marketing, is seen in 2016 talking about

The impact of smartphones
Perhaps the most surprising result of our study was the
disproportionate contribution of smartphones
relative to the overall ICT footprint.
We found that the relative emissions share of smartphones is
expected to grow from four per cent in
2010 to 11 per cent by 2020, dwarfing the individual
contributions of PCs, laptops and computer
displays.
In absolute values, emissions caused by smartphones will jump
from 17 to 125 megatons of CO2
equivalent per year (Mt-CO2e/yr) in that time span, or a 730 per
cent growth.
4. The lion’s share of this footprint (85 to 95 per cent) will be
caused not by the use of the device, but
rather by its production. That includes, in addition to the
manufacturing energy, the energy for
material mining for gold and the so-called rare-earth elements
like yttrium, lanthanium and several
others that today are almost exclusively available only from
China.
Another guilty participant in this excessive carbon footprint are
the
phone plans that encourage users to get a new smartphone every
two
years. That accelerates the rate at which older models become
obsolete
and leads to an extraordinary and unnecessary amount of waste.
These findings pertain to the device side.
Every text, download, email uses server energy
On the infrastructure side, we predict the combined footprint of
data
centres and communications networks will grow from 215
megatons of
C02 equivalent a year (Mt-CO2e/yr) in 2007 to 764 MtCO2-e/yr
by
5. 2020, with data centres accounting for about two thirds of the
total contribution.
For comparison purposes, the entire carbon footprint of
Canada was about 730 MtCO2-e in 2016 and is expected to
decrease by 2020.
The growth in smartphones and data centres aren’t
unrelated.
Indeed, it’s the dizzying growth in mobile communications
that’s largely driving the pace for data centres. For every text
message, video download, photo
exchange, email or chat, there’s a 24/7 power-hungry server in
some data centre that’s making it
happen.

6. Climate change Mobile phones Smartphones Carbon footprint
Technology Greenhouse gas emissions
It’s the energy consumption that we don’t see.
Software companies spur growth
Finally, and perhaps the most ironic aspect of all this, is that
it’s software that is driving the overall
growth in ICT as a whole, devices and infrastructure included.
Software companies like Google, Facebook, Amazon, Microsoft
and Yahoo boast some of the largest
data centres in the world. The rise in dominance of the mobile
operating systems, namely Apple’s iOS
and Google’s Android, along with the millions of mobile
applications that are built on top of those
platforms, has spawned the mobile communication age.
The incredible —as well as unsustainable— growth in the
emission footprint of all this hardware is
there for only one purpose: To support and serve the software
universe.
In other words, while it’s the hardware that does all the dirty
work, it’s the software that’s calling all
the shots.
7. The way out?
At the societal level, we must demand that all data centres run
exclusively on renewable energy.
At the individual level: Hold on to your smartphone for as long
as you can, and when you do upgrade,
make sure you recycle your old one. Sadly, only one per cent of
smartphones are being recycled today.

Organizing Ideas Worksheet
Step 1 – Locating relevant information
As part of an academic writing process, it is important to use
8. scholarly articles to support your own thoughts about a topic.
When you use those sources in your writing, you must record
specific information about the articles you use in your topic
discussion. Recording this information ensures you are prepared
to give credit to the authors of those articles.
This week, you use the University Library to find two scholarly
articles related to the broad topic, narrowed idea, and research
question you selected in Week 1. In the academic databases
available in our online library, the source information for
articles is provided in the indexing details located toward the
bottom of the article.
Review the below example of indexing details. The six pieces of
source information for your articles you will need to record for
this assignment (title, author, publication title, publication date,
document URL or DOI, and database) are numbered and boxed
in red. Eventually, you will need to record the issue number
and/or volume number as well as the page numbers the on which
the articles appear to complete the reference page citations in
your essay.
Search for at least two articles in the University Library that are
relevant to your topic. Once you have decided on the articles
you want to use for your essay, locate the indexing details.
Complete the following template using the indexing details for
the two articles you selected. Include a 3- or 4-sentence
description of how each article relates to your topic and
research question.

phones and other electronics. (Shutterstock)

But it is far more than all of that.
Waste arises ubiquitously, but unevenly, throughout the lives of
electronics, not only when users
discard their devices. No amount of post-consumer recycling
can recoup the waste generated before
consumers purchase their devices.
Waste from mining
Data on waste generation typically separate producer wastes,
such as those from mining, and
consumer wastes such as those from households. But there are
problems with such division.
It makes the mistake of thinking producer waste and consumer
waste are two separate things instead
15. of flip sides of the same coin in industrial systems. It also
makes the mistake of presuming consumers
have much in the way of meaningful choice in what their
electronics are made of.
Electronics contain a wide variety of materials. One important
example is copper. The electronics
industry is the second-largest consumer of copper. Only the
building and construction sector uses
more.
About 30 per cent of world copper consumption is satisfied
from recycling copper scrap. The rest
needs to be mined. A United States Geological Survey (USGS)
study claims that for every kilogram of
copper mined, at least 210 kilograms of mine waste arise.
Domestic e-waste generated per country (in kilotons) in 2016.
Data from Global E-Waste Monitor 2017. Josh Lepawsky

16. The same study reports that one of the largest copper mines in
the world, Chuquicamata in Chile,
generates a daily average of more than 298,000 metric tons of
mine waste.
At that rate, it only needs to operate for about 12 hours before it
generates as much mine waste by
weight as Chile does e-waste in a year. After a little over 48
days of operation, the Chuquicamata mine
generates about the same amount of mine waste by weight as the
total annual e-waste arising in
China and the United States combined.
Waste from manufacturing
Manufacturing digital devices entails substantial tonnages of
discards that, by weight, far exceed what
consumers dispose of as e-waste. For example, in 2014, about
3.1 million metric tons of e-waste was
collected from households in the European Union. Yet five
times more waste, 16.2 million metric tons,
arose from electronics manufacturing within the EU.
This means that even if all household e-waste collected in the
EU is recycled, waste from
17. manufacturing electronics in the same region far outstrips the
scale of household e-waste.
Data from manufacturers of phones, laptops, desktops and
tablets show that in most cases the CO₂
released over a device’s lifetime predominantly occurs during
production, before consumers buy their
devices.

Similarly, the manufacture of flat panel displays, like those that
go into televisions and computer
monitors, releases fluorinated greenhouse gases (F-GHGs),
some of the most powerful and persistent
of the heat-trapping emissions.

Large volumes of other chemicals used in device manufacturing
also don’t make it into the final
device. The volume of these chemicals may be four times
greater than what is included in the product
itself.
18. Some of these chemicals are released into the environment, and
make their way into workers’ bodies.
Waste from use
Once they’re in use, it can be tricky to measure the
environmental impact of energy use by electronics.
The electricity the device uses may be generated by coal, hydro
or solar power plants. But it’s clear
that the environmental impact of cyberspace is anything but
“virtual.”
Minting a new bitcoin, for example, can produce seven to 12
tonnes of CO₂ per coin. Researchers
estimate that electricity use for electronics in businesses and
homes are responsible for about two per
cent of total global greenhouse gas emissions. By 2040 those
emissions could account for six to 14 per
cent of total global greenhouse gas releases.
Fixing the e-waste issue
Post-consumer recycling of electronics will never be enough,
we need to be able to repair — and
upgrade — the devices we already have, if we are to slow our
production of e-waste.
Innovative initiatives that facilitate reuse and repair while also
finding ways to offset e-waste that
arises do exist. More are needed.
19. In the U.S., the Repair Association is doing the hard work of
advocating for consumers to have the
right to repair the devices they purchase by enshrining those
rights into law. That said, an e-waste
recycler in California now faces a 15-month prison sentence and
a US$50,000 fine in his efforts to
extend the lives of computers.
The automobile, food and pharmaceutical industries have to
show their products meet certain safety
standards before they are put on the market. Why not demand
the same of the electronics industry?
