Re-Imagining Collaboration: How One City is Transforming Trash into TreasureSustainable Brands
When the city of Phoenix published a strategic plan for building regional collaboration to not only improve waste diversion but to "transform trash into treasure", Assistant Public Works Director John Trujillo tapped the expertise of the Sustainability Solutions Services at Arizona State University. Trujillo recognized the convening power of the university as a trusted partner to corporations and communities in solving sustainability challenges. Now this city-university team is collaborating with corporate partners like Salt River Project and Mayo Clinic to transform recyclables into bio-fuels and manufacturing materials for new products.

UCC Library began its sustainability initiative in 2016. Since then, it has implemented an award-winning sustainability campaign. Through its ‘Love our Library’ campaign UCC Library succeeded in reducing its energy and water consumption, increased recycling rates and reduced waste. It has made strides in sustainable transport and active travel. UCC Library has been a lever for change within the UCC community and has been the model for sustainability initiatives within UCC.
UCC library is advancing its sustainability goals by refocusing its sustainability campaign with new initiatives. Changes taking place within the wider UCC community mean that the library can now switch its focus, from some if the immediate issues, to more long-term goals. In a post lockdown world, new challenges have arisen, air quality within the library building has become an issue in a transmission cautious world, with increased air flow come increased heating costs. Other pressures within society have increased pressures on the library infrastructure and the wider University community.
This presentation will outline the steps UCC library took to achieve its initial successes and the lessons learned along the way. It will discuss the post pandemic environment and how UCC Library intends to refocus its campaign to maintain momentum and develop a culture of sustainability within the library community.

A seminar I gave to the Department of Engineering and Innovation at The Open University on 22/01/16 where I introduced the concept of 'community owned solutions' and presented research on the identification, recording and sharing of community owned solutions through the use of emerging communication technologies, such as participatory video and community operated eco-drones. I also discussed a strategy for promoting research impact through the establishment of the 'Cobra Collective' - a social enterprise established to provide training, implementation and research for community owned solutions.

UNDERSTANDING WHAT GREEN WASHING IS!.pdfJulietMogola
Many companies today use green washing to lure the public into thinking they are conserving the environment but in real sense they are doing more harm. There have been such several cases from very big companies here in Kenya and also globally. This ranges from various sectors from manufacturing and goes to consumer products. Educating people on greenwashing will enable people to make better choices based on their analysis and not on what they see on marketing sites.

The objective of this work is to contribute to valorization de Nephelium lappaceum by the characterization of kinetics of drying of seeds of Nephelium lappaceum. The seeds were dehydrated until a constant mass respectively in a drying oven and a microwawe oven. The temperatures and the powers of drying are respectively: 50, 60 and 70°C and 140, 280 and 420 W. The results show that the curves of drying of seeds of Nephelium lappaceum do not present a phase of constant kinetics. The coefficients of diffusion vary between 2.09.10-8 to 2.98. 10-8m-2/s in the interval of 50°C at 70°C and between 4.83×10-07 at 9.04×10-07 m-8/s for the powers going of 140 W with 420 W the relation between Arrhenius and a value of energy of activation of 16.49 kJ. mol-1 expressed the effect of the temperature on effective diffusivity.

Institutional context: Did not sign Rio commitment; ANU Green initiative has clear strategic plan for the university’s sustainability goals
Environmental education and collaboration via online platform
Main challenge to implementation was lack of committed members
Institutional context: Signed Rio commitment :
“The sustainability projects which we conduct between 2012 and 2015:
Organize the International Student Conference on Environment and Sustainability
Launch Global University Partnership on Environment and Sustainability (GUPES) and action plan
Set up new international master programs and public elective course in sustainable development
Reinforce international research and practice in sustainable development (Eco-Chongming project and African project with MoST and UNEP)
Promote the philosophy and practice of Tongji in sustainable development and green campus
Enhance corporate collaboration in sustainable development (HSBC, Bayer, Praxair Inc.)”
Ran into challenges with securing institutional support and financing (common among groups from LEDCs)
Financing is particularly important for projects with high startup costs, as is the case with ambitious service provision as opposed to education campaigns
Institutional context: Did not sign Rio commitment
