Clean and green hydrocarbons ignite publish
The future can be great for our community, for our province, for the energy industry, for you and me and our children. However, it will require us to embrace positive change and to start the transition now. We can create an Alberta that is a renewable energy powerhouse by energy companies utilizing land and infrastructure they already use to generate renewable energy as well as using fuel cell technology to produce much cleaner energy from hydrocarbons during the transition period. And we can become the supplier of choice for clean and green hydrocarbon products, with extraction, processing and use of final products without emissions, pollution, fresh water and use of harmful chemicals. Why won't we start now? We can do it together!

10 Ways to Lower Your Carbon Footprint
What can you do to lower your carbon footprint? What can you do beyond your family’s footprint that will make a difference? Elton Sherwin’s presentation to the Century Club of California
Ausante part 1
Man-made climate change due to burning fossil fuels is leading to problems like rising sea levels, drought, extreme weather, and extinctions. Over 40% of greenhouse gases come from everyday activities like using computers and driving cars, so everyone is contributing to the problem and needs to become part of the solution. People can play their part by reducing their own emissions and carbon footprint, or purchasing carbon offsets which fund projects that remove carbon from the atmosphere through activities like planting trees or renewable energy. The carbon offset market is growing rapidly and may be worth $2 trillion within 5 years.
Earth Hour Presentation

NURSING THEORY Martha Rogers - The Science of Unitary Human Beings
- Martha Rogers developed the Science of Unitary Human Beings (SUBH) nursing theory, which views humans as indivisible energy fields that continuously interact with the environmental energy field.
- The major concepts of SUBH are energy fields, openness, pattern, and pandimensionality. The principles of homeodynamics are integrality, resonancy, and helicy.
- SUBH emphasizes assessment of the human-environment energy field pattern, mutual patterning to establish harmony between the fields, and reevaluation of patterns. It informed nursing education, practice using non-invasive modalities, and research.

It provides information on actions community members can take such as home energy audits, investing in solar power, growing their own food, and things the local elementary school can do to help like implementing a recycling program and teaching environmental education. The document advocates that the transition begins with individual energy conservation and developing a more localized, self-reliant community.
Earth Day Celebration 2020 (1)
The document discusses the history and significance of Earth Day, which is celebrated annually on April 22nd. It began in 1970 as an environmental teach-in in the US in response to increasing pollution and damage to the planet. Over 190 countries now participate in Earth Day activities like cleaning up public spaces, planting trees, and raising awareness of environmental issues. The 2020 theme is "climate action" to encourage addressing the climate crisis through reducing emissions and transitioning to renewable energy. People are celebrating Earth Day virtually this year due to the pandemic through online campaigns and education initiatives.
Why Should I Come To The Climate Rallies (Queensland)
The document calls on people to attend the national climate rallies on June 13th to pressure the Australian government to adopt more ambitious climate policies and carbon reduction targets. It argues the current Carbon Pollution Reduction Scheme is inadequate and will not significantly address climate change. The rallies aim to build a large climate movement that outweighs fossil fuel lobbying influence so that Australia commits to deep carbon reductions and 100% renewable energy at the upcoming global climate negotiations in Copenhagen. Participants are urged to attend the rally in Queens Park on June 13th to demand climate protection policies that make polluters pay and transition to a green economy.

It then argues these views are wrong and that our way of life will need to be transformed to live within Earth's renewable resources. It presents two options - intentionally planning this transition now or having the market force unwanted changes through shortages and high prices. The document concludes that while some hardship is inevitable, acting now can avoid a human catastrophe and limit species extinctions caused by climate change.
Kahane iis-rio 6-2012-circulatee
This document summarizes a speech given by Prof. Yehuda Kahane on the occasion of the insurance industry signing the Principles for Sustainable Insurance treaty with the UN. The speech discusses how exponential growth in areas like population, resource consumption, and environmental damage have created a "perfect storm" that threatens humanity. Kahane argues the insurance industry, through financial leverage tools like the new treaty, can help lead the world to a more sustainable path by decoupling economic growth from environmental impacts.

Forest is life a story on climate change, forest and communities
This document discusses how climate change is affecting forests and communities. It explains that climate change is caused by excess greenhouse gases from human activities like burning fossil fuels. Indigenous communities are particularly vulnerable as they depend directly on forests for their livelihoods and cultures. The document calls for reducing emissions through renewable energy and forest protection, but says these efforts must respect community land rights and participation. International agreements aim to address climate change, but developed countries need to do more to cut emissions and support developing countries.

A Note on the Production
of This Book
Through a partnership with NativeEnergy, a privately held energy company
(www.nativeenergy.com), the estimated global warming gas emissions
resulting from the production of this book are being offset by an investment
in a manure digester at the Warner Family Dairy Farm in Narvon,
Pennsylvania. Over its operating life, the digester will capture and use the
methane—a powerful global warming gas—given off by the manure the
farm’s cows produce to instead produce electricity and heat energy. For more

you can offset your emissions, visit www.stonyfield.com/stirringitup.

Foreword
While sweating through my workout at a local gym recently, something
caught my eye. There, outside in the parking lot, stood a varied collection of
compact cars. It struck me that just a year ago, I’d glanced out the same
window at rows crammed with big SUVs. Ours is a middle-income New
Hampshire community, and I had wondered then how the owners of those
rolling Parthenons of Excess were coping with rising fuel costs. Now, on this
particular morning, I saw only one lonely SUV sticking out like a white
elephant among the herd of VW Jettas, Toyota Corollas, and at least five or
six hybrid Priuses.
What had brought about this heartening turn to green? I wondered. Had
all of my neighbors been won over after hearing Al Gore lay out the
frightening facts of climate change in his film An Inconvenient Truth? Had
our local churches persuaded their parishioners that saving the planet was
covered under the divine directives written on Moses’s stone tablets? Or,
perhaps, had a wave of guilt, morality, or newfound virtue washed over my
fellow townsfolk?
In truth, the explanation is far less dramatic—and one you may already
have guessed since it is affecting every city, town, and village in America.
This seemingly sudden turnabout has less to do with a moral awakening than
with a spike in gasoline prices.
My hunch about the prime reason my neighbors had changed their c.

Kier's working value system: Behavioral framework
This document outlines Kier's behavioural framework which defines the behaviors and responsibilities expected at different levels within the organization. There are four levels described - Contributor, Manager, Leader, and Strategist. For each level, behaviors are defined across three categories: how they work together, how they achieve goals, and how they present themselves. The framework is intended to provide clarity around expectations and guide employees in developing behaviors that support collaboration, customer focus, and performance across all roles.
Lobbying Bill Key Points
This document discusses concerns about the Transparency of Lobbying, Non-Party Campaigning and Trade Union Administration Bill. It argues that the bill could force non-party campaigners like charities to choose between supporting political parties or providing aid in the year before an election. This could result in charities losing vital funding. Additionally, enforcing such a policy may not be possible as social media users often support both charities and political parties. Banning support of charities could give a negative impression of the government's values. Instead, charities should be able to participate in the democratic process as it may benefit their causes.
Part 2: Strategic Thinking revision notes
Strategic thinking involves anticipating changes, recognizing new opportunities, and adapting plans in response to events. Good strategists balance planning with the ability to react creatively when circumstances change. The IKEA strategy emerged from reacting to opportunities rather than rigid planning. Strategic plans should allow for challenging assumptions and recognizing when the plan is outdated. Regular reviews and adapting strategy helps organizations take advantage of unforeseen events. Strategists assess risks and uncertainties but also make committed decisions to shape an uncertain future. Both internal risks like capabilities and external risks like market dynamics must be considered. An effective strategy balances planning with the flexibility to adjust to new information.
Human rights law education (notes)
The document discusses the right to education according to human rights law. It outlines that the right to education has been included in many constitutions and international treaties, however in reality many children still do not have access to education. The key features of the right to education are that it must be available, accessible, acceptable, and adaptable. Education should aim to promote understanding and respect between groups. The core components of the right include access to education without discrimination, free and compulsory primary education, free choice of education, and the right to be educated in one's own language when possible. The right to education is interconnected with other human rights.
Revision notes: Equality and Non-Discrimination
1) The international human rights system is founded on the principle of equality and non-discrimination, which requires that all people have equal rights and opportunities regardless of status or group membership.
2) The concept of equality has evolved significantly in international law since the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, with detailed legal standards and jurisprudence giving substance to the notion of equality, including equality of opportunity and results.
3) However, achieving true equality remains a challenge, as large sections of the population still experience unequal access to economic, social and political participation and decision making due to disparities in income, wealth and power.

Foundations of Economic Prosperity - Research notes
This document provides an overview of the key concepts regarding economic prosperity at the individual, national, and global levels. It defines prosperity as having secure access to life's necessities as well as the ability to purchase non-essential goods. True national prosperity exists when a strong majority of citizens can consume beyond basic needs. Few countries have achieved widespread affluence, generally defined as an annual per capita income over $10,000. While economic growth does not guarantee national prosperity, factors like health, education, security, and freedom contribute to quality of life assessments. Individual prosperity is also multifaceted and depends on conditions like entrepreneurship opportunities, access to capital, and public goods that allow for maximized productivity.

Live earth review
- 1. Live Earth Review I wrote the following article a few years ago for a charity I was supporting and writing articles for www.actionaidspace.org this site has now been updated to their youth network site. The actionaidspace site is archived. This is my review of the great Live Earth gig. I thought I would repost as climate change is a central theme today and a lot still needs to be done to make sure it doesn’t keep getting worse. Make sure to use energy efficient lighting, you can also get things like an attachment you can place on in your shower to save on water. Helps with both bills and the environment. More importantly follow the seven point pledge :) The Greatest Show on Earth For Earth… And I was there. The vortex of Wembley Stadium combined with some of the greatest names in music was just too powerful for me to avoid. First things first the music – loud Earth!!!!! Red Hot Chilli Peppers, Foo Fighters, Metalica, Kasabian, The Black Eyed Peas, The Beastie Boys, Snow Patrol, Madonna, Genesis, Spinal Tap to name but a few gave a new meaning to the word “rock!” as they blew the roof off Wembley Stadium! It was the most incredible atmosphere that we’ve ever been apart of and all in the name of saving planet earth. I could quite literally go on about these amazing acts/bands forever especially the legendary Foo Fighters and Red Hot Chilli Peppers….Beastie Boys and John the Legend – the vortex is strong. However, I’m going to free myself from it and focus on the saving the world bit. What was the point of Live earth? “We’re here to save the earth, can you help?” the opening statement for Live Earth at Wembley. This was one of the concerts taking place across 7 continents, producing a 24 hour music marathon with the intention of sending out an SOS to the world to save our planet Earth. The concerts were driven by the SOS campaign. This campaign is pushing to inspire individuals to change their consumer behaviours and to motivate political leaders to take action against the current climate crisis. The main message of SOS is that “everyone, everywhere can and must Answer the Call to solve the climate crisis.” If the worlds leading scientists are correct, we have just over ten years to take action to prevent the world from a dramatic increase of extreme weather conditions including flooding, droughts and heat waves, hurricanes to name but a few. The charity Christian Aid has recently stated that by 2050 at least 1 billion people could be left homeless as a result of global warming if nothing is done now. However, looking at the news coverage of the current flooding crisis in the UK some could argue it’s already started which is why raising awareness is so important. The 7 Point Pledge
- 2. The fun might be over but the work to save our planet earth has just started! During the concert, Al Gore (the mastermind of the vortex that was Live Earth) announced a 7 point pledge. What he hopes is for as many people as possible to take up the points on this pledge so that we can potentially avoid a crisis: I pledge 1. To demand that my country join an international treaty within the next two years that cuts global warming pollution by 90 percent in developed countries and by more than half worldwide in time for the next generation to inherit a healthy earth 2. To take personal action to help solve the climate crises by reducing my own C02 pollution as much as I can and offsetting the rest to become “carbon neutral” 3. To fight for a moratorium on the construction of any new generating facility that burns coal without the capacity to safely trap and store the C02 4. To work for a dramatic increase in the energy efficiency of my home, workplace, school, place of worship, and means of transportation 5. To fight for laws and policies that expand the use of renewable energy sources and reduce dependence on oil and coal 6. To plant new trees and to join with others in preserving and protecting forests 7. To buy from businesses and support leaders who share my commitment to solving the climate crises and building a sustainable, just and prosperous world for the 21st century. These points are still relevant today, a little goes quite far, saves lives and can save you money.
