Arts Council England 2015/16 Programme: Sustainable Collections Management
Museums are important stewards of our past, present and future material and immaterial culture. Through collections we connect with and learn from our past, and reflect on our present and future. Museum collections hold a collective memory of change, evolution, innovation and creativity, and because of this, they have a potentially pivotal role in curating space for us to engage with global issues in a local context, develop our thinking, and become more resilient to change.
They way we manage collections also needs to be mindful of changing environmental and social needs, and acting on this can also positively influence financial sustainability and relevance to audiences and the wider community. As the public awareness of environmental sustainability increases, people are looking to public institutions for leadership.

Carbon footprint final
Carbon trading allows companies and countries to buy and sell permits to emit carbon dioxide. It is a key part of international agreements to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Under a cap and trade system, a maximum amount of emissions (the cap) is set and permits equivalent to the cap amount are distributed which can then be traded. If an entity emits less than its allotment of permits it can sell the excess, while those that emit more must purchase additional permits. The goal is for entities to find the most cost-effective ways to reduce emissions over time as the cap amount is reduced. Buildings account for a large portion of emissions and architectural strategies like efficient HVAC, insulation, lighting, and renewable energy can significantly reduce a building

How to Manage Reception Report in Odoo 17
A business may deal with both sales and purchases occasionally. They buy things from vendors and then sell them to their customers. Such dealings can be confusing at times. Because multiple clients may inquire about the same product at the same time, after purchasing those products, customers must be assigned to them. Odoo has a tool called Reception Report that can be used to complete this assignment. By enabling this, a reception report comes automatically after confirming a receipt, from which we can assign products to orders.
