Rural Vermonters often lack access to reliable transportation, making it difficult to access healthcare, employment, and other essential services. This document proposes developing next generation mobility and access solutions to meet the common transportation needs in rural communities through cross-cutting collaboration between organizations focused on energy, equity, economy, and entrepreneurship. New shared transportation models could help address healthcare access issues faced by rural residents like Sierra, who struggled to reliably get to medical appointments due to lack of transportation options.

Investigating City Commitments to 100% Renewable EnergyTony G. Reames
A number of United States (U.S.) cities are proposing and implementing bold sustainable solutions in order to combat
the social, environmental, and economic impacts of climate change. Cities of all sizes around the country are taking
control by pledging to reach community-wide goals of 100% renewable energy. However, many of these cities are
unsure of how to meet these commitments. Although the renewable energy potential throughout the U.S. is strong,
cities are facing other types of challenges that are hindering their ability to progress swiftly to meet the commitment.

Vermont's Energy and Emissions Picture - Getting to 2025 – The First Milestone
Where is Vermont in meeting its climate and energy goals? What efforts have been made thus far— and what more needs to be done?
If we are to meet Vermont's important and interrelated goals, we have a lot of work to do over the next 8-10 years. As of 2016, the share of Vermont’s total energy need met with renewable sources was approximately 16%, substantially lower than its 2025 goal of 25%. As of 2013, Vermont’s GHG emissions had increased 4% from 1990 levels and decreased 11% from 2005 levels, again lower than the Paris Agreement commitment of a 26-28% decrease by 2025 and lower than Vermont's statutory goal of 50% reductions below 1990 levels. In summary, we will need creative and collective action to further bend the curve toward these important energy and climate goals.

A renewable fuels standard would require Vermont's fuel industry to increasingly sell bio fuels (for heating oil, propane and natural gas) and biomass to offset the amount of fossil fuels we burn, eventually achieving 90% bio fuels by 2050.

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.

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.

"It was such a process getting to the
clinic," Sierra said. They relied on
family or friends for rides or to borrow
a car to make the two-hour trip, and
they also had to pay for fuel: "There
were so many times I ran out of gas on
my way back," Sierra said.

Challenges for transportation access:
The status quo is not meeting the growing needs. The existing solutions have not met our moral imperative – we need inclusive solutions that address our most vulnerable.
Businesses can’t find workers
Hospitals can get their patients healthy who can’t get to appts
People are trapped in their homes
Economy and Env. Justice can be met with this proposal
Inefficient and Inadequate mobility:
Rural residents spend on avg. 30% of income on Transportation. Often on older and less efficient vehicles. Opportunities for electrification
Those making less than 35k a year – 14% of which have Zero Vehicles available to them.
