The document discusses humans' responsibility for caring for the planet. It notes that humans have developed the ability to drastically affect or destroy the Earth. Therefore, humans have a responsibility to keep the planet intact. Taking care of the Earth is both a responsibility and a privilege. The document then lists various human activities like deforestation, increasing livestock, agriculture, mining and urbanization that negatively impact the environment. It concludes by outlining some actions being taken to address these issues like developing more efficient transportation, investing in renewable energy and planting trees.
There are various techniques that can be proposed to recover or improve the present quality of these ecosystems mainly rangelands (Galbally et al., 1992).. Nevertheless, ordinary management can only provide temporary solutions, because the number of people living on the produce of the rangelands is increasing almost everywhere, as is the number of their livestock. More comprehensive solutions will be necessary to preserve some of the rangelands, including an effective diversification of the forage resources and land use. Above all, it is essential to aim at the entire diversification of the local economies and their integration within a global perspective (Glenn et al., 1992)
Achieving environmental liberation through animal liberation by Adam CardiliniNickPendergrast

Wild mammals make up 4% of the biomass of global mammal populations, while humans make up 36% and farmed mammals make up 60%. Similarly, farmed chickens make up 70% of the biomass of global bird populations. To sustain these huge farmed animal populations we use vasts amounts of land, resources and produce significant amounts of greenhouse gas emissions. Our use of non-human animals is significantly impacting the global environment and is a leading cause of environmental destruction. By ending our oppression of farmed animals we can reclaim land for rewilding and significantly reduce our greenhouse gas emissions. To achieve environmental liberation we must understand the link between animal oppression and environmental destruction. Ignoring the oppression of animals comes at the expense of the environment.
This workshop will describe the link between animal and environmental oppression. Participants will discuss why animal oppression is often ignored in the environmental movement and identify ways forward.

Unit Plan - Year 10 - Big Ideas of ScienceAndrew Joseph
A unit plan currently being implemented in a school on the north side of Brisbane. The unit sticks closely to the curriculum, with lessons to give students experience in a variety of research and presentation modes, culminating in a presentation as the formal assessment. The presentation must follow the progression of one of the big ideas of science through history,from its inception to our current understanding.
A quick recap of what is expected in a scientific drawing. I prepared this as the intro to a plant dissection but the information could be used for any dissection requiring drawing.
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.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

TESDA TM1 REVIEWER FOR NATIONAL ASSESSMENT WRITTEN AND ORAL QUESTIONS WITH A...
Human responsibility
1. Learning Goals:
• To understand the interactions between the 4
spheres
• To understand human responsibility for the planet
2. Humans have developed the ability to drastically affect,
or even completely destroy, the Earth.
Therefore, we (humans) have a responsibility to the
Earth to keep it intact.
Taking care of the Earth is not just a responsibility -it's a privilege
3. • Increase in the human population
• Deforestation – the removal of trees to make
way for agricultural land resulting in a
reduction of carbon sinks.
• The process of deforestation itself causes
high levels of carbon dioxide to be produced
as the trees are burnt
• Increase in livestock (cows, sheep, pigs etc)
for human use causes an increase in the levels
of methane gas being produced
4. • Agriculture
• Timber harvest
• Mining
• Urbanization
• Introduction of exotic species
• Harvesting of fish and wildlife
• Fire suppression
7. Open cast mining removes much vegetation
Underground mining affects water tables
Underground gold mine in Wales UK
Open Cast mine in Virginia USA
8. Removes trees and replaces natural
landscape with concrete
Lake Union
Samish Lake
9. • Trying to develop more fuel efficient
cars
• Developing electric or hybrid cars
• Governments and businesses are
investing in wind power
• Governments investing in solar power
for heating water and generating
electricity
• Planting trees
• Recycling programs
10. • Conserve water by using less and also installing
water tanks to collect rainwater
• Conserve power by installing solar panels,
turning off unused appliances and buying more
energy efficient products
• Buy more energy efficient vehicles, use cars
less and public transport more, car-pooling
• Replacing incandescent light bulbs with
compact fluorescent light (CFL) bulbs
