Improved cooking stoves burn biomass more efficiently and draw smoke and toxins outside, improving safety. Many organizations have worked to develop and promote improved stoves. They save fuel, time, and money while reducing environmental degradation and climate impacts. However, successful projects require understanding users' needs and motivations.
This document outlines a plan for a large-scale improved cook stove initiative in India. It discusses developing fuel-efficient stove designs, mass producing stoves affordably, establishing a sustainable fuel supply chain, marketing stoves widely to consumers, developing testing and certification standards, and managing the initiative through a public-private partnership. The goal is to reduce indoor air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions from biomass cooking on a national scale.
An improved cookstove that uses less fuel and produces less smoke is described. Traditional stoves use 8 kg of firewood per day and have problems like smoke inhalation, inefficient fuel use, and deforestation. Improved stoves discussed include the Bharatlaxmi fixed single-pot stove, the smokeless chulha with a chimney, and the Laxmi two-pot stove. They use 40-50% less fuel and produce 30-80% less smoke. Adoption challenges and alternative fuels like kerosene and gas are also covered. Exercises calculate fuel cost savings from improved designs and alternative fuels.
Despite forests' important benefits, they are being destroyed as 2 million tons of firewood are burned daily. 13 million hectares of forests are lost annually. Indoor air pollution from biomass cooking fuels claims 500,000 lives in India each year, mostly women and children. A new improved cookstove called Aagami is being developed that can reduce this pollution, save fuel and money, and help protect forests and lives. It is more efficient and sustainable than traditional stoves.
Planting a tree, growing vegetables, composting, lowering the thermostat, and conserving water are 5 easy ways to go green and help the environment. Planting a tree provides oxygen, sequesters carbon, and shelters wildlife. Growing vegetables provides local, healthy food and cuts down on emissions from transportation. Composting returns nutrients to the soil and reduces waste. Lowering the thermostat by a few degrees can significantly reduce energy bills. Being mindful of water usage such as turning off the tap while brushing teeth can help conserve this precious resource.
In India, household air pollution from cooking with solid fuels like wood and animal dung causes over 1 million premature deaths per year, disproportionately impacting women and children. It is responsible for diseases like pneumonia, lung cancer, and heart disease. Nearly 800 million rural Indians rely on solid fuels for cooking. Clean cook stoves can reduce emissions by 50-90% and fuel use by 30-60%, cutting health risks and environmental impacts like deforestation while saving families time and money. Widespread adoption of clean cooking solutions could dramatically improve health, livelihoods, and the climate.
Green innovation and proper waste management can help address environmental pollution and create economic opportunities. The document discusses how waste is not truly waste, but a resource with value if recycled and disposed of properly. It proposes a solution for an 800-bed hospital that generates 800kg of waste daily by implementing segregation to reduce waste by 87.5% in two months and save money. Organic waste in particular holds promise as a "green gold" if converted to crude oil, fertilizer, or sold, with potential annual earnings of Rs. 6,500,000,000. In conclusion, recycling, segregation, and finding value in wastes can help make economic gains while improving the environment.

How to be more ECO (Polonia) - Lemoni y AleksandraTomaszSiuta
Millions of animals and plants die every year due to environmental pollution caused by the uncontrolled production of plastics, greenhouse gases, and water pollution, threatening the long-term habitability of the planet. Small changes like using reusable shopping bags, filter bottles, bee houses, and public transportation, buying secondhand clothes, and recycling can help reduce environmental impact. Going vegan is one of the biggest ways an individual can lower their carbon footprint by up to 73% since beef production causes significant environmental damage and uses far more land and water than other foods. Transitioning to a vegan lifestyle, not just a temporary diet, is important to understand how animal products affect health, the environment, and humanity.
The document discusses several topics related to sustainability including climate change, biodiversity, and alternative energy sources. It notes that agriculture accounts for 70% of water consumption globally and takes thousands of liters to produce some foods. It provides background on climate change and its impacts. The text also explains the importance of biodiversity for ecosystems and human needs. Finally, it introduces various alternative energy sources like solar, wind, and geothermal that can help address issues of fossil fuel depletion and environmental problems.
Veganism is a philosophy and lifestyle that excludes the use of animals for food, clothing, or any other purpose. Vegans do not eat or use any animal products such as meat, dairy, eggs, leather, fur, or ingredients containing animal products. Going vegan has benefits for the environment such as reducing pollution and greenhouse gas emissions from animal agriculture as well as conserving land and resources. A vegan diet is also healthier for humans by reducing the risks of various diseases and cancers. Adopting a vegan lifestyle can help address world hunger by freeing up grain and land used to feed livestock.

This document provides information about biogas, which is a type of gas produced from the breakdown of organic waste without oxygen. It is composed mainly of methane and can be produced from waste materials like animal dung and kitchen waste. The document explains that biogas can be used as an alternative cooking fuel and the waste can be disposed of in an environmentally friendly way. It also describes the process of biogas production in a domestic biogas plant and the benefits it provides such as clean cooking fuel and organic manure.
1) A plant-based diet is the cheapest, fastest way to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and slow global warming, as livestock such as cows are a major source of methane emissions.
2) Reducing methane emissions through decreased meat and dairy consumption can have a faster impact on reducing global warming than carbon dioxide reductions alone, as methane is a more potent greenhouse gas.
3) A widespread shift to plant-based diets could reduce global greenhouse gas emissions from agriculture by over 30% and help preserve water resources, as meat and dairy production requires more water than production of plant foods.

Unlocking Productivity: Leveraging the Potential of Copilot in Microsoft 365, a presentation by Christoforos Vlachos, Senior Solutions Manager – Modern Workplace, Uni Systems
Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software FuzzingAftab Hussain
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdfPaige Cruz
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:
