The document discusses the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) of 1969 and how it promotes enhancing the environment. NEPA requires federal agencies to prepare environmental impact statements for projects using federal funding that assess possible environmental effects. While supported by the public who see more benefits than costs, NEPA is an example of entrepreneurial politics where a small number directly pay costs while the majority benefits. The Clean Air Act is also discussed, including how it aimed to cut vehicle pollution but people were unhappy with changes to their daily lives despite general pro-environment views. Scientific uncertainty around environmental issues and effects on international relations are noted. Pesticide use is presented as an example of client politics that benefits farmers over public and environmental interests.
NEP is a policy formulated in 2006 by Ministry of Environment and Forest,Govt. of India for providing certain strategies and standards that ensures environmental safety to surrounding areas,working areas, laboratories or facilities, are free from dangers.

Natural Capital is the foundation for everything, and for most of human history man made activities were small relative to the planet and its natural capital. This is not so any more and everything about natural capital is now stressed and out of its natural equilibrium. This has to change in a significant way. Merely reducing the growth of stress is not enough. Substantial remediation efforts need to be made as well.

Environmental Experience
Growing up, I can say my childhood was awesome. I had a wonderful family and great friends. My grandparents owned a farm, so there were always fun things to do, we also had plenty of free time to play. About a mile from my family’s farm was woods that resemble a forest, it was large and had tall trees. The woods, however, had clear paths, so people went there for jogging and relaxation. For my siblings, friends and myself, this was where we often went to ride our bicycles and raced each other. This was a place that I formed a good memory with nature because of its beauty. Apart from the trees, there were other living creatures like birds, squirrels and butterflies and this often made the place a sanctuary for our games due to the different sounds the birds made.
As I grew up, the area where I once lived and loved became populated and were bought by land developers eventually, all the trees were cut down. Where there used to be a place where my imagination could run wild and so filled with life now seems so rocky, congested and full of garbage and damp sites. At first, we did not notice a major difference, but all this changed when the rainy season came. Floods became uncontrollable; the wind blew without anything to block it and therefore destroyed a lot of things. The weather patterns have also been affected making the amount of rain decrease, and also the garbage and smoke have affected people’s health. This had me thinking about the environment we live in.
In conclusion, through the educational system, I was able to learn about the different ways in which the environment is often tarnished. Among them is deforestation, water pollution in rivers and the ocean. Lastly, air pollution thought our carbon emissions. There are also many preventive measures that can be taken to make sure that extreme pollution does not occur (Khopkar, 2014). Among the basic measures is educating people about pollution and creating laws and regulations that will help with combating those that contribute to environmental destruction. This can assist in preventing extreme weather conditions like flooding and acidic rain which is caused by air pollution and deforestation. For me, I arrived at my ecological identity through formal education and experience.

Do you feel that GMOs are safe?
It is our nature to be resistant to change. There have been a lot of resistant to GMOs. I support GMOs as I believe they are safe for human consumption. GMOs are safe. There is always a presence of uncertainty among human beings regarding safety; however, there is a lack of evidence concerning their harm. GMOs do not have adverse envi.
This is a group work carried out in the field of economics of sustainability. It looked at hidden cost and externalities. Also tried to appraise the emergence of carbon economics and carbon tax systems.
This presentation introduces "The New Sustainable Frontier: Principles of Sustainable Development,” a new guide to sustainable development will help you move beyond existing "green" and "high-performance" strategies that provide incremental improvements, to ones that will sustain the our operations within the scale of the Earth’s closed system. The "Guide" and its four-section "Appendix" include concepts, tools and strategies for operationalizing sustainability that will simplify every-day decision-making and provide guidance for achieving long-term goals.

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.
Climate Impact of Software Testing at Nordic Testing DaysKari Kakkonen
My slides at Nordic Testing Days 6.6.2024
Climate impact / sustainability of software testing discussed on the talk. ICT and testing must carry their part of global responsibility to help with the climat warming. We can minimize the carbon footprint but we can also have a carbon handprint, a positive impact on the climate. Quality characteristics can be added with sustainability, and then measured continuously. Test environments can be used less, and in smaller scale and on demand. Test techniques can be used in optimizing or minimizing number of tests. Test automation can be used to speed up testing.
A tale of scale & speed: How the US Navy is enabling software delivery from l...sonjaschweigert1
Rapid and secure feature delivery is a goal across every application team and every branch of the DoD. The Navy’s DevSecOps platform, Party Barge, has achieved:
- Reduction in onboarding time from 5 weeks to 1 day
- Improved developer experience and productivity through actionable findings and reduction of false positives
- Maintenance of superior security standards and inherent policy enforcement with Authorization to Operate (ATO)
Development teams can ship efficiently and ensure applications are cyber ready for Navy Authorizing Officials (AOs). In this webinar, Sigma Defense and Anchore will give attendees a look behind the scenes and demo secure pipeline automation and security artifacts that speed up application ATO and time to production.
We will cover:
- How to remove silos in DevSecOps
- How to build efficient development pipeline roles and component templates
- How to deliver security artifacts that matter for ATO’s (SBOMs, vulnerability reports, and policy evidence)
- How to streamline operations with automated policy checks on container images
