Community associations play a vital role in protecting a homeowner’s investment in their residence and property. In the case of solar energy, association covenants, conditions, and restrictions (CC&Rs) and architectural guidelines can dissuade some owners from pursuing an opportunity to enhance the value of their property while reaping important environmental benefits. Recognizing this, many state legislatures have enacted “solar rights” policies limiting associations’ ability to prohibit or restrict solar energy devices. Often, these state-level provisions are a necessary, but not in themselves sufficient, means of ensuring homeowners have access to solar energy and its benefits. Fortunately, there are a number of relatively simple actions an association can take to encourage solar development without further ceding their authority to impose and enforce rules designed to protect the value and quality of the communities they govern. This guide, written for association boards of directors and architectural review committees, discusses the advantages of solar energy and examines the elements of state solar rights provisions designed to protect homeowner access to these benefits. It then presents a number of recommendations associations can use to help bring solar to their communities, including: (1) improving processes and rules through understanding the technical aspects of solar energy and how restrictions can negatively affect a system’s performance; (2) improving the clarity and specificity of association solar guidelines and making them easily accessible to homeowners, and; (3) convening stakeholder meetings to produce practical guidelines that accurately reflect the needs and values of the community.

How Integration of Systems Will Bring Concrete Benefits to the Earth and to M...Stephen Lee
Presentation made to the Hong Kong Bio- and Eco-Energy Industry Assocation, Dec 14, 2011. The world is at an uncertain divide, with the East on the rise and the West on the decline. Excesses of capitalism, and escalating costs of social benefits brought imbalances to the world, potentially pitching the young generation against the old. Will the vision of a green planet be shattered because it is unaffordable and too much of an economic burden on mankind? It is more imperative than ever that efforts to clean up the planet be based on the idea of integrating, automating and optimizing past systems which were operated in isolation from one another. New and concrete benefits will be turned up by innovative ways to explore synergistic relationships among proximate systems and to optimize their joint operation. An example can be found in bringing together systems of waste treatment, electricity production, and steam or heat production. However, real benefits must exceed real costs before the world will remain committed to the path of a green planet.
Climate Change and Media and Information Literacy.pdfYsabelleBesorio1
Media and information literacy is one of the determinants as to whether a pressing problem gets the action it needs. If there is one problem that defies all boundaries, it is climate change. A climate crisis knows nothing about our differences and goals, it only happens because something must have created it. Climate change is a global problem that we are all responsible for but what does Media and Information Literacy have to do with it?
Climate change is not entirely an environmental problem. It is too complex because various interests are involved in this discussion. Media and technologies now have profound effects on our environment and future aside from our digital carbon footprint. Lies and misleading content spread through the Internet, social, and traditional media worsens the problem in more ways than one. Climate misinformation and disinformation can prevent us from seeing our planet's situation and impending fate if we do not act now. Without knowing the intensity and urgency of the problem, nothing will drive us to change something. Climate change denial will hide the truth until there's nothing we can do. Delaying tactics are no better because they delay actions that could have made the difference only if they were done sooner.
Because of technology and digitalization, our fight against climate change is no longer bound to forests, seas, rivers, and mountains among others. The digital space is equally dangerous if it is filled with climate disinformation. This highlights the need for Media and Information Literacy and also discusses how a media and information-literate individual can become a climate warrior. Using my knowledge from the previous modules on how to assess information sources, I was able to compile data and information from reliable sources to present the importance of climate literacy.
The competencies and skills from the course can be used to assess information sources that discuss climate change and our roles in its occurrence. The presentation includes examples of content published by groups that deny climate change and our contribution to it to show how social media can be used to amplify lies and conspiracy theories. Most importantly, the presentation provides ways to fight climate misinformation and disinformation through media and information literacy. Without MIL, we cannot expect climate action because what we do comes from what we know to be true.
US Chamber Report: What If...Energy Production was Banned on Federal Lands an...Marcellus Drilling News
This report, the first in the Chamber's Energy Accountability series, finds that if the federal government under Obama and Clinton (as they advocate) were to shut down further energy production from public lands, the result would be catastrophic: the U.S. economy would lose 400,000 jobs and $70 billion in annual GDP.
Horizontal communication and the evolution of journalismDonica Mensing
Presentation given at "Networking Democracy? New media innovations in participatory politics" in Cluj-Napoca, Romania, June 2010.
This project uses an examination of Twitter and Facebook posts about climate change to consider how horizontal communication structures are changing journalistic practices, and in turn, affecting the creation of public agendas.
I created this presentation to present the need for use of social media in our cancer center. It is specific to this center but can be easily adapted. The similar presentation is more general and has some copyrighted material in it. There is no copyrighted material in this despite my forgetting to take that notation out of the last slide.
How can the Web be used to build a powerful social movement to avert dangerous climate change? This presentation summarises an action research project conducted by the Change Agency (http://wwwthechangeagency.org) during mid-2008.
Whatever the complaint about media, one thing is certain: There are underlying structural issues at work that give rise to these problems. Attacking a single symptom — such as programming some might say is indecent — does not cure the disease.
