This document summarizes a presentation about how the infrastructure and environment surrounding two schools with similar demographics can impact stress levels and daily experiences when walking children to school. It notes that the walk to one school was longer, involved more interactions with traffic, and took twice as long as the walk to the other school. It then lists and compares many qualitative factors of the walking environments, highlighting how aspects like sidewalks, traffic, and aesthetics can differently impact stress and quality of life on a daily basis. It argues that infrastructure should be designed with health, equity and daily living in mind.

Ignorance is bliss? A case of un-politicized drinking water
This document discusses drinking water services in the town of Rauma, Finland. It notes that the town's water source, the Eurajoki River, has frequently experienced quality issues with high levels of microbial content. This has led to concerns from local residents about the safety of the tap water. However, there has been no large-scale public debate or politicization of the issue. The document hypothesizes several potential reasons for this, including high trust in public services, a preference for personal adaptation over collective action, and a production-oriented paradigm in water services management rather than a focus on public service.
