The benefits of green vehicles in tourism
Presentation by Amiene van der Merwe of The Green Cab. Given on 13 February 2012 for the Responsible Cape Town Pecha Kucha, part of Responsible Tourism Week 2012. www.responsiblecapetown.co.za/blog/how-to-use-rt-to-help-your-companys-bottom-line/
Carbon per Capita 5 Facts You Need To Know (infographic)
Climate change is such a broad and complex issue – many of us struggle to connect the dots to what we do on a daily basis. But, there’s a simple number that gets us to a good start – our carbon dioxide emissions per person (or carbon per capita). Learn about carbon per capita, the difference between Production and Consumption carbon approaches, explore the case study of how Sweden has rapidly decarbonized, and consider the moral issues of the widening climate inequality and future carbon convergence.
Carbon footprint module slides
The document discusses carbon footprints and how individual and collective activities impact the environment. It explains that a carbon footprint measures the amount of carbon dioxide emitted through daily routines and lists major carbon emitters like cars, heat/AC, deforestation, cows, and electricity. The document suggests ways to reduce individual footprints such as biking, eating less meat, reducing waste, reusing and recycling, and notes Dubai's efforts to lower its city-wide footprint.
Electronic waste presentation
Electronic waste (e-waste) is increasing around the world. The solution is to reduce, reuse, and recycle e-waste. People should bring e-waste to collection centers, who will send it to places that can generate wealth from the waste without harming humans. Recycling e-waste produces useful materials like gold and prevents environmental pollution and health risks from electronic toxins.
Carbon neutral
The document discusses the carbon cycle and the role of carbon in the environment. It notes that nature's carbon cycle is self-regulating, with plants absorbing CO2 through photosynthesis and microbes releasing carbon back into the atmosphere through decomposition. However, anthropogenic carbon emissions are excess and not part of the natural cycle. It then discusses how human carbon emissions amplify greenhouse gas concentrations and the greenhouse effect, threatening the environment by causing global warming. The concepts of carbon neutrality, carbon footprint, carbon sequestration, carbon offsets, and carbon credits in addressing this issue are also summarized.
Sustainable Hospitality
The document discusses various topics related to global pollution and sustainability. It provides definitions for key terms, photographs showing different types of pollution around the world, and discusses factors influencing green trends such as LOHAS consumers and eco-friendly travelers. It also outlines green rating systems for operations and gives examples of sustainable product assessment criteria. The document presents an overview of important issues around global pollution and sustainability.
Choose introduction
The document proposes ideas for making a town greener, with a focus on reducing carbon dioxide emissions and encouraging more sustainable transportation. It suggests offering cheaper public transportation fares and congestion charges to reduce car use, as well as building more bicycle lanes to promote cycling. Additional proposals include raising public awareness through community events and school workshops. The overall goal is to improve public health and quality of life by reducing pollution and encouraging low-emission transportation options.

- Transitioning away from fossil fuels is suggested by closing 15% of existing plants by 2020, 45% by 2050, and 100% by 20
Economy | Biocity Studio
South Australia currently is experiencing strong economic growth in mining, defence, industry sectors, construction, finance and insurance. This strong performance over the past eight years is due to employment being up by 14%, business investment up by 126% and retail sales up by 39%. Between 2001 and 2006, Adelaide lost 2900 professionals, which is double compared to 1996 – 2001. To keep Adelaide’s economy growing the government needs to create ways to attract the working age people and young people to stay and work in the city.
Water / Wastewater - groundwater levels, dry land salinity and drought in Ade...
Adelaide’s main source of water comes from the River Murray and the Mount Lofty catchment area and connects to the reticulation system. Urban stormwater is a major input to surface water with a number of natural creeks discharging to stormwater drains. Although the major source of water comes from the surface water, ground water is also vital resource. Rising groundwater levels, dry land salinity and droughts are major problems in Adelaide. This presentation offers solution to these problems.
Waste Recycling | Biocity Studio
This presentation discusses waste avoidance, reduction, recovery-material and energy and why it is necessary. We need to use our resources more efficiently and become eco-efficient.
Adelaide – a green city? | Biocity Studio
Adelaide suffers from air, light, water and noise pollution. 70% of the air pollution is from transport, the key emissions that impact air quality are carbon monoxide, oxides of nitrogen. South Australia wastes over $5 million dollars per year on electricity, which produces more than 70,000 tons of carbon dioxide emissions. By reducing light pollution it would be like taking 10,000 cars off the road. Naturally occurring chemical, man-made sources and litter can easily pollute water.
Waste Recycling | Biocity Studio
Each household produces 681kg of waste per year. South Australia’s landfills create 60 million cubic metres of landfill airspace. The state is one of the best at recycling and manages to divert 65% recyclable from the landfill. One of the major challenge for recycling is competing with landfills. Cheap landfill costs, disposal contract and global warming are the current crisis issues for waste in South Australia.
Urban Process Research: Transport | Biocity Studio
Social, economic and environmental factors will fundamentally change the nature of urban transport systems and the way we use them. Demographic change, aging population, peak oil, reliance on fossil fuels, climate change and technological changes will be imposed as a consequence
Australia Governance | Biocity Studio
The commonwealth of Australia is a Federative constitutional monarchy under a parliament democracy. In 1987, The Hawke government decentralized part of the federal government’s power from 28 departments to 18. This was to decrease corruption, despotism and increase in efficiency and surveillance. South Australian has 68 councils. The South Australian government is trying keep Local government out of planning decisions involving development over $10 million.
Urban Process: Food & Agriculture | Biocity Studio
South Australia’s agricultural industry has had booms and downturns in the past. Agriculture and food production affects transport, pollution, water usage, waste, erosion and soil/topsoils. The food to energy output is 1 calorie of food energy produced is equal to 10 calories of fossil fuel energy consumed.
Biodiversity in Adelaide | Biocity Studio
Biodiversity is all forms of life and the ecosystems of which they are a part. Adelaide once had a rich variety of wildlife, now it is under serious threat today. The loss of biodiversity has been caused through European settlement developing the land for residential, agriculture and industry usage. This has led to the clearance of vegetation, fragmentation and a decline of many species.
Adelaide’s Transport – Rail, Air, Bus, Car | Biocity Studio
The main form of transportation in Adelaide is rail, air, bus and car. Adelaide has a well-defined city layout, with multi lane roads. It was once called the 20 minute city, but not for much longer. Morning peak hour traffic has risen by 30% since 1997. The private car increases urban air pollution, green house gases and ozone layer depletion. Forty private cars are equals to one bus. If transport was improved in the city this would help decrease pollution problems.
Adelaide economy and population | Biocity Studio
There are large manufacturing, defence and research zones in Adelaide from which the city earns its primary revenue. 50% of Australian cars are manufactured here and is the homeland for the territories oil supply. Adelaide’s major industries are agricultural, manufacturing and mining and they are currently booming. The South Australia employment rate has been growing strongly over the last decade. The potential problem for Adelaide is that the population expects to grow another 537,000 over the next 30 years, an extra 247,000 homes will need to be built.
Energy in the City of Adelaide | Biocity Studio
South Australia electricity demand has risen 1.7% annually and Gas has risen 0.8%. Mining at Leigh Creek will continue only until 2020 and Natural Gas is estimated to last till 2018. What can we do to try and save energy? The government is aiming to reduce energy use in their buildings and transport by 25%. Create alternative for renewable energy efficiency such as wind and solar power.
Understanding water systems in Adelaide | Biocity Studio
Adelaide’s water supply comes from reservoirs, Murray water accessed via the Mannum pipeline, stormwater, groundwater, waste water and localised systems. Then Adelaide metropolitan area comprises of four major catchment areas and four wastewater treatment plants. Adelaide stormwater generates around 86 giga litres per year. Only 10% of this is currently being re-used.

Apps Break Data
How information systems are built or acquired puts information, which is what they should be about, in a secondary place. Our language adapted accordingly, and we no longer talk about information systems but applications. Applications evolved in a way to break data into diverse fragments, tightly coupled with applications and expensive to integrate. The result is technical debt, which is re-paid by taking even bigger "loans", resulting in an ever-increasing technical debt. Software engineering and procurement practices work in sync with market forces to maintain this trend. This talk demonstrates how natural this situation is. The question is: can something be done to reverse the trend?

Dandelion Hashtable: beyond billion requests per second on a commodity server
This slide deck presents DLHT, a concurrent in-memory hashtable. Despite efforts to optimize hashtables, that go as far as sacrificing core functionality, state-of-the-art designs still incur multiple memory accesses per request and block request processing in three cases. First, most hashtables block while waiting for data to be retrieved from memory. Second, open-addressing designs, which represent the current state-of-the-art, either cannot free index slots on deletes or must block all requests to do so. Third, index resizes block every request until all objects are copied to the new index. Defying folklore wisdom, DLHT forgoes open-addressing and adopts a fully-featured and memory-aware closed-addressing design based on bounded cache-line-chaining. This design offers lock-free index operations and deletes that free slots instantly, (2) completes most requests with a single memory access, (3) utilizes software prefetching to hide memory latencies, and (4) employs a novel non-blocking and parallel resizing. In a commodity server and a memory-resident workload, DLHT surpasses 1.6B requests per second and provides 3.5x (12x) the throughput of the state-of-the-art closed-addressing (open-addressing) resizable hashtable on Gets (Deletes).
