Paralysis of Choice and the Action Paradox - Verity JonesStuart Payton
The document discusses the challenges of addressing climate change given its profound uncertainty, multidimensional nature with multiple stakeholders, causes, and potential solutions. It notes that while a student protestor called for feelings of terror, rage, and grief to motivate action, inspiring change requires altering social norms and habits. Schools are cited as a potential site for social change through influencing relationships and contested policy mediation. Past initiatives like the Travelling to School program show that action and investment in schools could help address the complex issue of climate change.
Taboo Subjects and Red Herrings - Robin Webster Stuart Payton
This document discusses communicating about climate change and overcoming climate silence. It notes that climate concern is at record high levels in the UK, with over half of adults very concerned about climate change. However, climate silence remains an issue, with many people not wanting to talk about climate change due to feelings of guilt, fear of scary topics, or not knowing enough. The document advises that messaging on climate change should include both negative and positive information, focusing on solutions to provide hope and efficacy. While many people support limits to air travel and eating less red meat, fewer are willing to completely stop eating meat. The document suggests that lifestyle changes must be part of systemic change and discusses how identity, blame, social norms, and political will
Taboo Subjects and Red Herrings - Katie MajorStuart Payton
Palm oil is the largest vegetable oil crop, producing over 60 million tonnes per year and being versatile and high-yielding. However, its production is causing significant environmental and social issues due to deforestation for new plantations. While boycotting palm oil may seem like a solution, it is better to support sustainable palm oil through clear, consistent messaging that differentiates sustainable versus unsustainable palm oil and encourages collaboration between groups. Positive communication is key to promoting more sustainable palm oil production.

Paralysis of Choice and the Action Paradox - Trewin RestorickStuart Payton
This document outlines Hubub's approach and theory of change for influencing behavior and sustainability. It discusses demonstrating small-scale lifestyle changes to gain permission for larger changes. The theory of change involves shifting practical consciousness, rules and resources, and ultimately actions. Case studies are presented on reducing street waste and recycling, influencing IKEA's approach through trials of "Live LAGOM" living, and building a coalition to address microfiber pollution. The overall approach seeks to make sustainable choices easier through systems changes.
The document outlines 4 actions individuals and organizations can take to help nature: take less actions to reduce consumption footprints; choose better actions to switch to more sustainable alternatives; demand more actions to generate behavioral and policy changes; and give back actions to directly benefit wildlife and conservation projects.
The document outlines lessons and challenges from Friends of the Earth's efforts to bring young voices into the organization. By the end of 2021, they aim to establish a youth presence including youth-led action, an internal youth voice, and child and family involvement in grassroots campaigns. Some of the top lessons include embracing tears as a sign of passion, building on existing efforts rather than reinventing wheels, and being prepared to adapt plans. Ongoing challenges include increasing diversity, fully integrating youth, expanding beyond their current reach, operating at greater scale, and supporting individual journeys. The document advocates starting small and allowing young people to speak for themselves.
The document discusses the concepts of "old power" and "new power" as described in the book "This is New Power" by Jeremy Heimans and Henry Timms. It notes that new power is derived from people's ability to share, participate and influence each other through open sharing online. The document suggests that for initiatives to spread, they need to be actionable, connected and extensible so people feel empowered to customize and spread the ideas themselves. It references strategies for organizations to effectively engage with crowds including assessing their legitimacy, willingness to cede some control, and ability to sustain long-term engagement.
The document outlines various behaviour change techniques used by an environmental charity to inspire environmentally-friendly actions. It provides 8 examples of projects the charity carried out, describing the challenges addressed, ideas implemented, and impacts. The techniques discussed include nudging, using prompts, simplifying decisions, hooking onto existing events, incorporating fun, telling stories, leveraging social norms, and disrupting status quos.
The document discusses decision making and outlines several key points:
1) Traditional rational models of decision making are insufficient for complex issues involving uncertainty, complexity and multiple perspectives.
2) Decisions are influenced by cognitive biases, shortcuts and social factors. Better understanding of decision science is needed.
3) More participatory, cooperative approaches that incorporate different types of knowledge can help overcome psychological barriers and lead to wiser decisions. Investing in better decision making processes is important.
This document discusses how psychology and psychotherapy can contribute to addressing climate change. It argues that climate change is not just a rational problem with technological solutions, but also a psychological one as we have irrationally failed to act despite knowing the solutions. It explores potential psychosocial solutions like facing our denial, understanding our relationship with nature, strengthening ecological connection, and allowing ourselves to feel emotions like grief, fear and anger regarding climate change. It also discusses the potential trauma of climate change and challenges of discussing it with children.

Improving the viability of probiotics by encapsulation methods for developmen...Open Access Research Paper
The popularity of functional foods among scientists and common people has been increasing day by day. Awareness and modernization make the consumer think better regarding food and nutrition. Now a day’s individual knows very well about the relation between food consumption and disease prevalence. Humans have a diversity of microbes in the gut that together form the gut microflora. Probiotics are the health-promoting live microbial cells improve host health through gut and brain connection and fighting against harmful bacteria. Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus are the two bacterial genera which are considered to be probiotic. These good bacteria are facing challenges of viability. There are so many factors such as sensitivity to heat, pH, acidity, osmotic effect, mechanical shear, chemical components, freezing and storage time as well which affects the viability of probiotics in the dairy food matrix as well as in the gut. Multiple efforts have been done in the past and ongoing in present for these beneficial microbial population stability until their destination in the gut. One of a useful technique known as microencapsulation makes the probiotic effective in the diversified conditions and maintain these microbe’s community to the optimum level for achieving targeted benefits. Dairy products are found to be an ideal vehicle for probiotic incorporation. It has been seen that the encapsulated microbial cells show higher viability than the free cells in different processing and storage conditions as well as against bile salts in the gut. They make the food functional when incorporated, without affecting the product sensory characteristics.

Microbial characterisation and identification, and potability of River Kuywa ...Open Access Research Paper
Water contamination is one of the major causes of water borne diseases worldwide. In Kenya, approximately 43% of people lack access to potable water due to human contamination. River Kuywa water is currently experiencing contamination due to human activities. Its water is widely used for domestic, agricultural, industrial and recreational purposes. This study aimed at characterizing bacteria and fungi in river Kuywa water. Water samples were randomly collected from four sites of the river: site A (Matisi), site B (Ngwelo), site C (Nzoia water pump) and site D (Chalicha), during the dry season (January-March 2018) and wet season (April-July 2018) and were transported to Maseno University Microbiology and plant pathology laboratory for analysis. The characterization and identification of bacteria and fungi were carried out using standard microbiological techniques. Nine bacterial genera and three fungi were identified from Kuywa river water. Clostridium spp., Staphylococcus spp., Enterobacter spp., Streptococcus spp., E. coli, Klebsiella spp., Shigella spp., Proteus spp. and Salmonella spp. Fungi were Fusarium oxysporum, Aspergillus flavus complex and Penicillium species. Wet season recorded highest bacterial and fungal counts (6.61-7.66 and 3.83-6.75cfu/ml) respectively. The results indicated that the river Kuywa water is polluted and therefore unsafe for human consumption before treatment. It is therefore recommended that the communities to ensure that they boil water especially for drinking.

While climate change is a natural phenomenon, human activities, particularly since the Industrial Revolution, have accelerated its pace and intensity
Kinetic studies on malachite green dye adsorption from aqueous solutions by A...Open Access Research Paper
Water polluted by dyestuffs compounds is a global threat to health and the environment; accordingly, we prepared a green novel sorbent chemical and Physical system from an algae, chitosan and chitosan nanoparticle and impregnated with algae with chitosan nanocomposite for the sorption of Malachite green dye from water. The algae with chitosan nanocomposite by a simple method and used as a recyclable and effective adsorbent for the removal of malachite green dye from aqueous solutions. Algae, chitosan, chitosan nanoparticle and algae with chitosan nanocomposite were characterized using different physicochemical methods. The functional groups and chemical compounds found in algae, chitosan, chitosan algae, chitosan nanoparticle, and chitosan nanoparticle with algae were identified using FTIR, SEM, and TGADTA/DTG techniques. The optimal adsorption conditions, different dosages, pH and Temperature the amount of algae with chitosan nanocomposite were determined. At optimized conditions and the batch equilibrium studies more than 99% of the dye was removed. The adsorption process data matched well kinetics showed that the reaction order for dye varied with pseudo-first order and pseudo-second order. Furthermore, the maximum adsorption capacity of the algae with chitosan nanocomposite toward malachite green dye reached as high as 15.5mg/g, respectively. Finally, multiple times reusing of algae with chitosan nanocomposite and removing dye from a real wastewater has made it a promising and attractive option for further practical applications.
Evolving Lifecycles with High Resolution Site Characterization (HRSC) and 3-D...Joshua Orris
The incorporation of a 3DCSM and completion of HRSC provided a tool for enhanced, data-driven, decisions to support a change in remediation closure strategies. Currently, an approved pilot study has been obtained to shut-down the remediation systems (ISCO, P&T) and conduct a hydraulic study under non-pumping conditions. A separate micro-biological bench scale treatability study was competed that yielded positive results for an emerging innovative technology. As a result, a field pilot study has commenced with results expected in nine-twelve months. With the results of the hydraulic study, field pilot studies and an updated risk assessment leading site monitoring optimization cost lifecycle savings upwards of $15MM towards an alternatively evolved best available technology remediation closure strategy.

We may have different priorities and expectations of green space but all working towards a set of desirable outcomes
We work under shared assumptions that increasing use, and increasing diversity of people using, these spaces will lead to these desirable outcomes, in turn increasing the ‘quality’ of green space to create a positive feedback loop.
We design our interventions and engagement practice around these assumptions but are these assumptions accurate? Useful?
Is this model working? (As wildlife continues to decline, funding and policy continues to lag behind, etc.)
