The Twig Light: Ultra low-cost lighting in Ghanathe nciia
This session describes the development of a new, low cost, sustainable light source for poor villagers in developing countries called the Twig Light. The light makes use of a compact thermoelectric generator sandwiched and providing a thermal bridge between two pieces of ten-centimeter aluminum channel approximately fifteen centimeters in length. The lower section is cooled by sitting it in a small amount of water, while the upper section serves as a combustion chamber in which small pieces of wood or other combustible materials are burned. The subsequent temperature difference across the thermoelectric generator results in enough power to light a bank of LEDs sufficient to illuminate a small room. The technology was distributed in the rural Ghanaian village of Domeabra in the summer of 2009, and the performance will be evaluated during a return visit in 2010.

Presented on March 21, 2012 at Ball State University's Greening of the Campus IX Conference by Mieko Ozeki, Sustainability Projects Coordinator and Clean Energy Fund Manager.
College campuses across the U.S. and abroad have seen a growth of student campaigns to take institutional action on climate change. One of the barriers to implementing sustainability initiatives on-campus has been financing these efforts through existing internal resources, such as general and administrative funds or institutional endowments. Student green fees are one of many alternative financial mechanisms to support sustainability initiatives on college campuses. Documentation on student green fees focus primarily on the creation of this financial structure through student campaigns, but there are limited resources that explore the design and management of these programs once they go into effect.
This paper reviews the institutional characteristics of 89 colleges and universities in the North America that currently collect at least one student green fee. A total of 98 green fees have been identified from student reports, online research, and an online survey conducted in October 2010. A majority of these fees was allocated to a broad range of sustainability initiatives while others explicitly fund services such as recycling programs, green attributes of capital construction projects, or supporting a campus sustainability office. Five sustainability managers were interviewed for an exploratory review of lessons learned on the design and implementation of student green fee programs. Four areas of student green fee design and management are highlighted with advice from sustainability managers. The intent of this presentation is to provide background info on this funding mechanism and offer recommendations on best practices for designing green fee campaigns and managing funded projects.

Are you trying to reduce energy consumption on your campus? Conservation programs that include building retrofits and improvements to metering and controls can reduce energy consumption by over 20% on university and college campuses.
David Helliwell and John Metras, University of British Columbia’s Managing Director of Infrastructure Development presented a 45 minute webinar on reducing energy consumption on campus.
This presentation includes:
• An overview of UBC’s ECOTrek project and the keys to its success in reducing energy consumption across the campus
• An explanation of the role of EMS (Energy Management Systems) in ensuring the persistence of energy savings
• An outline of UBC’s future energy sustainability projects
John Metras was the Director of Operations for UBC when the university implemented its $35M ECOTrek project that involved rebuilding and retrofitting the infrastructure of nearly 300 buildings, and which led to a 23% reduction in campus energy consumption and a 15% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions.
David Helliwell has worked in the energy sector since 1994, including a role with the Canadian government where he was responsible for reducing costs and improving environmental performance of 700 million square feet of office space across the country. He is the CEO of Pulse Energy, which he co-founded in 2006.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
