Team Renegade presents an innovation called the Sat Visarjan Rath to address the problem of water pollution caused by the Ganesh Visarjan festival. The Rath (truck) carries clean water in tanks to immerse idols instead of using river water. This creates a positive attitude while still respecting religious sentiments. Benefits include cleaner lakes and water, as well as reduced traffic. The innovation scores highly based on Prahlad's Sandbox parameters. Moving forward, the idea could be scaled up nationally and applied to other festivals to further reduce pollution from idol immersions in a respectful manner.
The document discusses challenges with post-disaster reconstruction efforts that focus on quick delivery of shelters without considering local needs, resources, and community participation. This leads to solutions that are not timely, cost-effective, environmentally friendly, or satisfactory for homeowners. It argues for developing frameworks that support owner-driven reconstruction using local materials and skills, which have lower energy and carbon footprints than industrialized approaches.
Permaculture is a design system based on ethics and design principles which can be used to establish, design, manage and improve holistic management of individuals, businesses, communities and social-ecological systems.
The document outlines a project scope to develop a scalable and replicable model for an intergenerational forest garden. The objectives are to experience the garden, research intersections, review best practices, and compile and report findings. The project scope includes assisting in creation, capturing documentation, education, health and wellness, community gardening, urban farming, permaculture, seeding further research, telling the story, and attracting funding. The role of consultants is to act as an organizational development resource, help define and document the garden's development within 3 months, and learn about connections between ecological and human organisms leading to greater health and sustainability.
The Natural Resources Development Project aims to promote sustainable development through cost effective housing, water management, organic farming, renewable energy, and indigenous health practices. The project is located in Kanyakumari and conducts workshops, publishes books, and organizes conferences on traditional medicine, Azolla research, and water management to disseminate technologies. It also operates green health camps, builds biogas plants, and networks with over 200 NGOs and government departments in South India.
In this class we explore social capital as the umbrella term we use to value a complex set of inner quadrant qualities such as creativity, innovation, social skills, connectivity, emotional intelligence, knowledge, wisdom, cultural awareness, etc., all of which have a critical part to play in re-designing any technology & therefore society as a whole. "Sustainable Development" has been criticized as a term for being inherently contradictory, but when all quadrants are taken into account, we can see that a major growth in the interior quadrants (personal development & culture) will probably be key in achieving any significant reduction in physical consumption or material growth, so 'sustainable development' is far from contradictory as a term. So how do we design for increasing and improving social capital?
The Green Bulls presented their recycling project to increase recycling awareness and education in their community. Their presentation outlined their recycling audit form, painted recycling bins to identify materials, and a skit to teach the difference between recycling and trash. They met criteria for service projects by partnering with their community recycling center and holding events to increase sustainable practices and recycling rates through creative education methods.
The document summarizes the Sustainable Sites Initiative, which provides standards for sustainable landscaping practices that can earn points in the LEED program. Some key points of the initiative include minimizing water and resource usage, controlling invasive species, increasing plant biomass to offset emissions, and using native plants to support biodiversity. It also emphasizes enhancing human health through views of nature, outdoor spaces for activity and gathering, and using landscaping like retention ponds as amenities. Overall, the initiative aims to restore natural systems, prioritize materials reuse and recycling, and support long-term sustainable site maintenance and operations.

Using Standards to CreateBest-of-Breed Assessment SolutionsCito
The document discusses standards for assessment including Learning Tools Interoperability (LTI) and Question and Test Interoperability (QTI). LTI allows for integration of learning modules between systems, while QTI focuses on exchanging item and test data between platforms. Both standards aim to prevent vendor lock-in and facilitate system integration, but have limitations like low compliance requirements for QTI and lack of context sharing for LTI. The presentation concludes that while useful, the standards require improvements and continued development to fully achieve their goals.

This document provides a development framework for the GrandView District in Edina, Minnesota. It was created by a 52-member steering committee over several months. The framework aims to:
1) Create a central commons area on the public works site with indoor and outdoor public spaces.
2) Completely rethink the transportation infrastructure to improve pedestrian, cycling, and automobile access while allowing for future transit.
3) Leverage public resources to encourage private redevelopment that improves the neighborhood for residents and businesses.
The framework is intended to guide future development in line with previously adopted guiding principles, but will require further feasibility studies and strategies to be implemented.

Adult Social Care Design Jam summary reportKathryn Woolf
This document summarizes the proceedings of a design jam focused on developing new solutions for adult social care. Participants were divided into 5 teams to address different challenges: communication, joined-up services, system change, funding, and supporting individuals. Each team developed an idea, such as a "Pop In" community outreach program, an online platform called "VillageHall.com" to connect services, and a "Live Well Passport" with digital support. The document outlines the process used and next steps to pursue the most promising concepts. The overall goal was to apply human-centered design approaches to enhance adult social care.
This document summarizes a research paper on the impact of eco-friendly products on consumer behavior. The summary is:
1) The study examines consumers' awareness, use, and opinions of eco-friendly products and finds low levels of awareness and use.
2) Most consumers are influenced by eco-friendly products but they are not easily available in markets and are not effectively promoted.
3) Eco-friendly products are consumed less than other products partly because they are seen as costly. However, the future for eco-friendly products is viewed as bright by most.
