5 min guide to sustainability: Go green - Save money and the planetAnders Lindgren
Going Green – is it just “greenwashing”? Do organizations prefer to just talk about being green rather than really living green? Let’s be pragmatic. The majority of companies do not embrace Green living primarily for ideal reasons. It has always been about cost savings. In the form of reduced expenditures or efficiency gains. Nothing wrong with that approach. Actually it’s the core idea of sustainable development. Saving money and the environment at the same time.
During Plastic Pollution Coalition's August webinar, we discussed ways to reduce plastic pollution during and after the pandemic. Panelists talked about to prevent plastic pollution in your daily life, and advocate for local governments and businesses to help reduce plastic pollution during this unprecedented time. The webinar was moderated by Jackie Nuñez, Founder of The Last Plastic Straw and & Advocacy Program Manager at Plastic Pollution Coalition, and panelists included: Eve Fox, Digital Director, Beyond Plastics; Cassia Patel, Program Director, Oceanic Global, and Lindsey Hoell, Co-Founder & CEO, Dispatch Goods. The webinar took place on Thursday, August 27, 2020.

Why Warrior?
A modern-day warrior is not about war.
Is not about building armies and conquering nations.
Is not about aggression and domination.
A modern-day warrior is about the person.
Honesty, integrity, empathy, intelligence, courage, tenacity, resolve.
Quietly solid.
A modern-day warrior is about purpose.
And there can be no better purpose than our guardianship of the planet we live on - our existence and survival as a species amongst all species.
We are a fundamental part of nature and our need is to understand, constantly learn and develop in conjunction with every other species on Earth.
The problem we face is not about “saving the planet” - the planet will go on.
It’s about saving life on Earth.
We are supposed to be intelligent.
Let’s use that intelligence for the benefit of all - before it is too late.
I advised a group of students in Students Consulting Nonprofit Organizations (SCNO), as a Project Manager.

Why Aren’t We Excited About Earth Day Anymore?
Three organizers from the first event in 1970 remind us that we still have a lot of work to do.
By Devi Lockwood
NYTimes, April 21, 2020
In the 1960s, environmental destruction was upfront and personal. It was in your face. Los Angeles was shrouded in smog. The Cuyahoga River in Cleveland caught fire. Three million gallons of oil spilled off the coast of Santa Barbara, Calif. New York City dumped raw sewage into the Hudson River. Bald eagles were teetering near extinction in the lower 48 states because of the ravages of DDT. Leaded gasoline poisoned children.
“A lot of people were getting angry about dirty water, dirty air and litter,” said Barbara Reid Alexander, Midwest coordinator for the first Earth Day, in 1970. “People were excited to talk about it.”
Part of the spark that ignited Earth Day came from Gaylord Nelson, a senator from Wisconsin, who proposed campus teach-inson the environment, modeled after gatherings on college campuses where students and professors met to talk about the Vietnam War. Organizers chose April 22 because it would be before college students were cramming for final exams but after the snow melted.
On April 22, 1970, Mayor John Lindsay of New York shut down 45 blocks of Fifth Avenue in Manhattan. Across the country, 20 million people took to the streets. The National Education Association estimated that 10 million public school children participated in teach-in programs where they learned about the costs of environmental inaction.
“It was one of those transformational events,” said Denis Hayes, the national coordinator. “In 1969, people really didn’t talk about ‘the environment.’ By the middle of 1970, many Americans characterized themselves as environmentalists.”
The turnout catapulted environmental issues onto the political agenda. Democrats and Republicans took interest. Legislation followed: the Clean Air Act, Clean Water Act, Endangered Species Act, Marine Mammal Protection Act, Toxic Substances Control Act, Resource Recovery and Conservation Act, National Forest Protection Act, the designation of Superfund sites and the establishment of the Environmental Protection Agency.
“For the next decade, environmental legislation was almost unstoppable,” Mr. Hayes said.
Today the story is different. Fifty years ago, the effects of burning fossil fuels on the atmosphere was only beginning to be understood. Now it is the looming threat to the planet as the earth steadily warms. And only now are people seeing, on a large scale, the consequences: record-breaking heat, floods, intensifying storms, landscape fires in California and Australia, the disappearance of Arctic ice, shrinking glaciers, dying coral reefs. But it has been a slow build to creating a movement with the power and public support that emerged from the first Earth Day.

These are the notes for a talk given by Andy Revkin, New York Times blogger and Pace University senior fellow, at this year's Asahi World Environmental Forum in Tokyo. The summary:
"The Daily Planet" - An exploration of issues and opportunities arising in conveying environmental news as both the media and the environment enter a period of unprecedented and unpredictable change. In his 30th year as a science writer, Andrew Revkin of The New York Times and Pace University discusses how journalists and journalism can remain a vital and valued guide in a world in which information is free and overabundant.

Plastics and Climate Change: How Single-Use Packaging is Fueling the Crisisplasticpollutioncoalition
Over 99% of plastic is made from fossil fuels, and greenhouse gases are emitted at every stage of the plastics life cycle. Yet, even as the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change warns that “climate change is widespread, rapid, and intensifying,” big brands like Coca-Cola, PepsiCo, and Nestlé (including BlueTriton, formerly Nestlé Waters North America) are increasing their production of single-use plastics and packaging—driving a petrochemical expansion that threatens the global climate as well as communities and ecosystems around the world.
The September 2021 webinar featured Judith Enck, President of Beyond Plastics and former Regional Administrator of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency under President Obama, who discussed the nexus between plastic production and climate change, including the immense environmental justice impacts, and Graham Forbes, Global Project Leader of the Plastic-Free Future campaign at Greenpeace, who discussed Greenpeace USA's new report, The Climate Emergency Unpacked: How Consumer Goods Companies are Fueling Big Oil's Plastic Expansion. The panel was moderated by Jen Fela, Director of Communications at Plastic Pollution Coalition.
How can we stop plastic from polluting our most beautiful natural places? From trails to beaches, parks to playgrounds, and even protected areas—plastic is impacting the world’s most revered landscapes.
During the August webinar, we talked about efforts to truly honor nature by keeping plastic pollution out of it, including the campaign to urge U.S. Department of Interior Secretary Haaland to eliminate the sale and use of single-use plastics in U.S. national parks.

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.

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.
