Weehawken/Union City Social Innovation Meetup KickoffSandy Sanchez
At the Meetup kickoff event, we introduced the concepts of social innovation and design thinking. The participants were taken through a fun and interactive exercise that served as an icebreaker as well as an introduction to some of the concepts in design thinking, empathy, active listening, and prototyping. We discussed how design thinking can be used in our community, referencing examples from other communities in the US as well as abroad. We also discussed the different types of events, how to participate, and volunteer opportunities.
WiserEarth.org is the global social network for sustainability. The network is searching for volunteers in China (and around the world) to help translate and grow the wiser community in order to create a more sustainable world.
It's time to think "sustainable"! The youth exchange "F.O.C.U.S: Globe!" initiated by Mladiinfo FEJS MK and supported by the European commission through the EU program Youth in Action, brought together 34 young people from Macedonia, Serbia, United Kingdom, Latvia, Bulgaria and Ukraine in Skopje and gave them the opportunity to discuss and report about sustainable urban ecosystem issues, raise their awareness about global challenges and how they affect our everyday lives, and understand together the ecology of a changing planet, while learning about each other's countries and cultures.
The Rotarian Action Group for Endangered Species is
mobilizing Rotarians and Rotaractors to preserve and
protect endangered species by improving global awareness
and taking action. With a focus on rhinos, mountain gorillas,
elephants, and orangutans, you’ll learn about new and
ongoing partnerships and project opportunities for your
club.

"Understanding the Carbon Cycle: Processes, Human Impacts, and Strategies for...MMariSelvam4
The carbon cycle is a critical component of Earth's environmental system, governing the movement and transformation of carbon through various reservoirs, including the atmosphere, oceans, soil, and living organisms. This complex cycle involves several key processes such as photosynthesis, respiration, decomposition, and carbon sequestration, each contributing to the regulation of carbon levels on the planet.
Human activities, particularly fossil fuel combustion and deforestation, have significantly altered the natural carbon cycle, leading to increased atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations and driving climate change. Understanding the intricacies of the carbon cycle is essential for assessing the impacts of these changes and developing effective mitigation strategies.
By studying the carbon cycle, scientists can identify carbon sources and sinks, measure carbon fluxes, and predict future trends. This knowledge is crucial for crafting policies aimed at reducing carbon emissions, enhancing carbon storage, and promoting sustainable practices. The carbon cycle's interplay with climate systems, ecosystems, and human activities underscores its importance in maintaining a stable and healthy planet.
In-depth exploration of the carbon cycle reveals the delicate balance required to sustain life and the urgent need to address anthropogenic influences. Through research, education, and policy, we can work towards restoring equilibrium in the carbon cycle and ensuring a sustainable future for generations to come.

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.
2. What is a
Community Safari?
A Community Safari is a two-day
adventure that brings together
the members of a community to
collectively identify, discuss and
test ideas to solve challenges,
using nature-based solutions.

3. Why go on a Safari?
“We are the only species with the power to destroy the
earth - and also the capacity to protect it.”
- Dalai Lama.
Air that is difficult to breathe, water that is
dangerous to drink, trash, and only a grey
landscape around.
To tackle such problems, communities
themselves need to take an active role in
finding solutions.
But where can solutions be found?

4. Safari solutions
After billions of years of R&D, nature has
discovered the secrets of sustainability.
A wetland is a perfect self-sustaining
wastewater treatment plant, a bed of moss
is the earth’s most advanced air purifying
machine, and microalgae are superb
energy generation stations.
If we can uncover and apply such secrets
(Nature-based Solutions) in our
communities, we could solve many of
todays’ challenges!

6. Why should you take your
community on a Safari?
A Safari is a great way to unite a local community
around the process of identifying problems and co-
creating solutions to them, in a structured,
innovative, fun and educational way.

7. • UNDP Accelerator Lab Ukraine developed and tested the
concept of the Community Safari.
• The Safari methodology, materials and tools are clearly
described and documented in an open-source Toolkit,
giving you the opportunity to run a Safari of your own.
• The Safari Toolkit is free and available on request.
• The toolkit is easy to use – print it – cut it out – and go
on a Safari!

How does it work?
8. Safari toolkit:
• Info Booklet: a short explainer to help you promote
the Safari among your colleagues, partners and
sponsors.
• Organizer Guide: general instructions and best
practices for organizing a Safari, and brainstorming
ideas
• Media Package: brand guidelines, logos, poster,
social media package, etc.
• Event Roadmap: a to-do-list to help your
organization prepare for the event
• Solutions Card Pack: to be used by participants
during the brainstorming session
• Digital Map: instructions on how to create your
Safari map
