1 like•341 views
The document discusses the challenges of addressing climate change given its profound uncertainty, multidimensional nature with multiple stakeholders, causes, and potential solutions. It notes that while a student protestor called for feelings of terror, rage, and grief to motivate action, inspiring change requires altering social norms and habits. Schools are cited as a potential site for social change through influencing relationships and contested policy mediation. Past initiatives like the Travelling to School program show that action and investment in schools could help address the complex issue of climate change.

Globalization is impacting education in several key ways:
1. Access to information through technology is changing how students learn and what skills they need, but not all have equal access to higher education.
2. Schools must prepare students for a changing job market with jobs that may not exist yet through creativity, lifelong learning, and critical thinking.
3. A multicultural approach to education can help students understand different perspectives in our increasingly globalized world and embrace diversity.
Sustainability Spotlight: Chui-Ling Tam | UToday | University of Calgary
Chui-Ling Tam had an epiphany while scuba diving in Indonesia that led her to study the social impacts of conservation and development on local populations. She realized local fishermen's livelihoods were affected by tourist scuba divers and conservation efforts. This prompted her to pursue a PhD in resource management instead of continuing her career in journalism. Tam now researches the social challenges of balancing resource use, environmental protection, and local community needs, especially in developing countries where local voices are often excluded from sustainability discussions.
Rethinking Econ 101
This document discusses problems with how economics is traditionally taught. It argues that Economics 101 teaches an incorrect model that assumes unlimited economic growth through free markets, but does not account for environmental sustainability or limits to resources. The classic supply and demand diagram ignores externalities, public goods, and non-renewable resources. The document advocates teaching students about ecosystem limits to growth, humanity's impact on the planet, and the need to allocate resources sustainably for future generations within environmental boundaries. It presents alternative models that integrate the economy with social and natural systems.
Jones abawi sheffield 2015 conference resisting the standard
Using digitized representations and spoken word performance, Queensland arts and literacies educators Janice Jones and Lindy Abawi present with Augmented Reality Partners from Whaddup Indigenous Youth Group the stages of an arts and multi-literacies project from inception to public display. The partners, young women of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander background, prepare to exhibit their art works in the regional art gallery, using Augmented Reality overlays of story, rap, and dance. This paper as performance uses a verbatim theatre approach, interweaving the young women’s digital stories of self-and community actualization with the voices of two arts facilitators and their sponsoring institution. By critically re-presenting the entanglement of values and expectations of the university as ‘The Big House’ with those of the arts practitioners and the community, the authors as performers unravel the complexities of language as an instrument of neo-colonialism, and articulate some of the ethical and cultural challenges for non-Indigenous facilitators engaging with Indigenous peoples.
Sustainable development
Sustainable development aims to meet the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. The environment and economy are interdependent and development must not ignore environmental impacts. The Brundtland Commission emphasizes protecting the future by leaving an equal or better quality of life and environment than past generations through conservation and avoiding additional costs or risks. Economic growth has put pressure on limited environmental resources, and sustainable development offers a solution to balance development and environmental protection.

It aims to teach learners about their environment and various environmental issues through interactive content and multimedia elements. The document also includes a reference list of sources for further reading.
Changing educational landscapes
This document discusses the need for changes in education to better prepare students for the future. It notes that traditional practices like worksheets and standardized testing are still common, despite limited use of technology. It outlines features of current educational systems that are reactive, rigid, and poorly aware of learning research findings. The document calls for a new culture of learning that leverages social and technical tools to develop skills like collaboration, problem solving, and innovation. It emphasizes learning throughout life in various contexts and cultures.
Change for Motivation_Support for New Pedagogies of Teaching and Learning in ...
This document summarizes a research paper about supporting motivation for educational change in Ontario public schools. It explores how motivation relates to education and why systemic or "whole-system" change is needed. It discusses theories of social constructivism and sociocultural learning, and examines examples of educational reforms in Finland and Alberta. The document argues that a slow, whole-system approach is needed to change educational philosophy, policy, and practice towards more participatory, relevant, and learner-centered models of teaching and learning.

The project highlighted the need for genuine listening that empowers children and leads to cultural shifts to better incorporate social inclusion in science communities and agendas.
Perspectives on Inclusion: The politics of difference and diversity
This document discusses inclusion as a complex issue related to human rights, social justice, and struggles for equity in education. It addresses how inclusion is often reduced to special education and fails to consider intersections of disability with other forms of disadvantage like socioeconomic status, gender, and race. The document advocates for more holistic, rights-based approaches to inclusion that address barriers to learning and meet student needs through coordinated support across education, health, and other systems. It also critiques how market-driven education models can undermine inclusion by treating students as commodities based on perceived worth or deficits rather than human rights.

Taboo Subjects and Red Herrings - Robin Webster
This document discusses communicating about climate change and overcoming climate silence. It notes that climate concern is at record high levels in the UK, with over half of adults very concerned about climate change. However, climate silence remains an issue, with many people not wanting to talk about climate change due to feelings of guilt, fear of scary topics, or not knowing enough. The document advises that messaging on climate change should include both negative and positive information, focusing on solutions to provide hope and efficacy. While many people support limits to air travel and eating less red meat, fewer are willing to completely stop eating meat. The document suggests that lifestyle changes must be part of systemic change and discusses how identity, blame, social norms, and political will
Taboo Subjects and Red Herrings - Katie Major
Palm oil is the largest vegetable oil crop, producing over 60 million tonnes per year and being versatile and high-yielding. However, its production is causing significant environmental and social issues due to deforestation for new plantations. While boycotting palm oil may seem like a solution, it is better to support sustainable palm oil through clear, consistent messaging that differentiates sustainable versus unsustainable palm oil and encourages collaboration between groups. Positive communication is key to promoting more sustainable palm oil production.

The overarching goals are to empower place-based, community-led partnerships to drive sustainable climate action within and beyond their own communities.
Making Waves and Building Movements
This document summarizes a presentation about building social movements. It discusses the values of collaboration, elegance, and commitment. It then outlines Help Refugees' approach, which rapidly scaled in 2015-2016 to help over 722,500 refugees through crowdfunding and volunteers. Their timely response in Calais aligned with public interest, and they focused on direct humanitarian aid, reactivity, and authentic storytelling. The presentation aims to provide lessons for effective social change work.
Paralysis of Choice and the Action Paradox - Trewin Restorick
This document outlines Hubub's approach and theory of change for influencing behavior and sustainability. It discusses demonstrating small-scale lifestyle changes to gain permission for larger changes. The theory of change involves shifting practical consciousness, rules and resources, and ultimately actions. Case studies are presented on reducing street waste and recycling, influencing IKEA's approach through trials of "Live LAGOM" living, and building a coalition to address microfiber pollution. The overall approach seeks to make sustainable choices easier through systems changes.
Paralysis of Choice - Matt Postles
The document outlines 4 actions individuals and organizations can take to help nature: take less actions to reduce consumption footprints; choose better actions to switch to more sustainable alternatives; demand more actions to generate behavioral and policy changes; and give back actions to directly benefit wildlife and conservation projects.
Action Generation - Jenny Thatcher
The document outlines lessons and challenges from Friends of the Earth's efforts to bring young voices into the organization. By the end of 2021, they aim to establish a youth presence including youth-led action, an internal youth voice, and child and family involvement in grassroots campaigns. Some of the top lessons include embracing tears as a sign of passion, building on existing efforts rather than reinventing wheels, and being prepared to adapt plans. Ongoing challenges include increasing diversity, fully integrating youth, expanding beyond their current reach, operating at greater scale, and supporting individual journeys. The document advocates starting small and allowing young people to speak for themselves.
Rise of Extinction - Kathryn Perera
The document discusses the concepts of "old power" and "new power" as described in the book "This is New Power" by Jeremy Heimans and Henry Timms. It notes that new power is derived from people's ability to share, participate and influence each other through open sharing online. The document suggests that for initiatives to spread, they need to be actionable, connected and extensible so people feel empowered to customize and spread the ideas themselves. It references strategies for organizations to effectively engage with crowds including assessing their legitimacy, willingness to cede some control, and ability to sustain long-term engagement.
Trewin Restorick - Creative Intervention Design
The document outlines various behaviour change techniques used by an environmental charity to inspire environmentally-friendly actions. It provides 8 examples of projects the charity carried out, describing the challenges addressed, ideas implemented, and impacts. The techniques discussed include nudging, using prompts, simplifying decisions, hooking onto existing events, incorporating fun, telling stories, leveraging social norms, and disrupting status quos.
Diana Pound - Wiser Decision Making
The document discusses decision making and outlines several key points:
1) Traditional rational models of decision making are insufficient for complex issues involving uncertainty, complexity and multiple perspectives.
2) Decisions are influenced by cognitive biases, shortcuts and social factors. Better understanding of decision science is needed.
3) More participatory, cooperative approaches that incorporate different types of knowledge can help overcome psychological barriers and lead to wiser decisions. Investing in better decision making processes is important.
Understanding Emotion
This document discusses how psychology and psychotherapy can contribute to addressing climate change. It argues that climate change is not just a rational problem with technological solutions, but also a psychological one as we have irrationally failed to act despite knowing the solutions. It explores potential psychosocial solutions like facing our denial, understanding our relationship with nature, strengthening ecological connection, and allowing ourselves to feel emotions like grief, fear and anger regarding climate change. It also discusses the potential trauma of climate change and challenges of discussing it with children.
Communications Pitfalls And How to Avoid Them
This document announces a workshop on common communication pitfalls and how to avoid them. The workshop will take place on November 12, 2019 from 1:30-2:30PM and 3:00-4:00PM at the Conservation Education Centre. It will discuss framing traps and how framing matters in communication. Framing can change thinking and outcomes by activating certain frames more often so they become part of common sense.

Optimizing Post Remediation Groundwater Performance with Enhanced Microbiolog...
Results of geophysics and pneumatic injection pilot tests during 2003 – 2007 yielded significant positive results for injection delivery design and contaminant mass treatment, resulting in permanent shut-down of an existing groundwater Pump & Treat system.
Accessible source areas were subsequently removed (2011) by soil excavation and treated with the placement of Emulsified Vegetable Oil EVO and zero-valent iron ZVI to accelerate treatment of impacted groundwater in overburden and weathered fractured bedrock. Post pilot test and post remediation groundwater monitoring has included analyses of CVOCs, organic fatty acids, dissolved gases and QuantArray® -Chlor to quantify key microorganisms (e.g., Dehalococcoides, Dehalobacter, etc.) and functional genes (e.g., vinyl chloride reductase, methane monooxygenase, etc.) to assess potential for reductive dechlorination and aerobic cometabolism of CVOCs.
In 2022, the first commercial application of MetaArray™ was performed at the site. MetaArray™ utilizes statistical analysis, such as principal component analysis and multivariate analysis to provide evidence that reductive dechlorination is active or even that it is slowing. This creates actionable data allowing users to save money by making important site management decisions earlier.
The results of the MetaArray™ analysis’ support vector machine (SVM) identified groundwater monitoring wells with a 80% confidence that were characterized as either Limited for Reductive Decholorination or had a High Reductive Reduction Dechlorination potential. The results of MetaArray™ will be used to further optimize the site’s post remediation monitoring program for monitored natural attenuation.

Microbial characterisation and identification, and potability of River Kuywa ...Open Access Research Paper
Water contamination is one of the major causes of water borne diseases worldwide. In Kenya, approximately 43% of people lack access to potable water due to human contamination. River Kuywa water is currently experiencing contamination due to human activities. Its water is widely used for domestic, agricultural, industrial and recreational purposes. This study aimed at characterizing bacteria and fungi in river Kuywa water. Water samples were randomly collected from four sites of the river: site A (Matisi), site B (Ngwelo), site C (Nzoia water pump) and site D (Chalicha), during the dry season (January-March 2018) and wet season (April-July 2018) and were transported to Maseno University Microbiology and plant pathology laboratory for analysis. The characterization and identification of bacteria and fungi were carried out using standard microbiological techniques. Nine bacterial genera and three fungi were identified from Kuywa river water. Clostridium spp., Staphylococcus spp., Enterobacter spp., Streptococcus spp., E. coli, Klebsiella spp., Shigella spp., Proteus spp. and Salmonella spp. Fungi were Fusarium oxysporum, Aspergillus flavus complex and Penicillium species. Wet season recorded highest bacterial and fungal counts (6.61-7.66 and 3.83-6.75cfu/ml) respectively. The results indicated that the river Kuywa water is polluted and therefore unsafe for human consumption before treatment. It is therefore recommended that the communities to ensure that they boil water especially for drinking.
ENVIRONMENT~ Renewable Energy Sources and their future prospects.
This presentation is for us to know that how our Environment need Attention for protection of our natural resources which are depleted day by day that's why we need to take time and shift our attention to renewable energy sources instead of non-renewable sources which are better and Eco-friendly for our environment. these renewable energy sources are so helpful for our planet and for every living organism which depends on environment.

The incorporation of a 3DCSM and completion of HRSC provided a tool for enhanced, data-driven, decisions to support a change in remediation closure strategies. Currently, an approved pilot study has been obtained to shut-down the remediation systems (ISCO, P&T) and conduct a hydraulic study under non-pumping conditions. A separate micro-biological bench scale treatability study was competed that yielded positive results for an emerging innovative technology. As a result, a field pilot study has commenced with results expected in nine-twelve months. With the results of the hydraulic study, field pilot studies and an updated risk assessment leading site monitoring optimization cost lifecycle savings upwards of $15MM towards an alternatively evolved best available technology remediation closure strategy.

Improving the viability of probiotics by encapsulation methods for developmen...Open Access Research Paper
The popularity of functional foods among scientists and common people has been increasing day by day. Awareness and modernization make the consumer think better regarding food and nutrition. Now a day’s individual knows very well about the relation between food consumption and disease prevalence. Humans have a diversity of microbes in the gut that together form the gut microflora. Probiotics are the health-promoting live microbial cells improve host health through gut and brain connection and fighting against harmful bacteria. Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus are the two bacterial genera which are considered to be probiotic. These good bacteria are facing challenges of viability. There are so many factors such as sensitivity to heat, pH, acidity, osmotic effect, mechanical shear, chemical components, freezing and storage time as well which affects the viability of probiotics in the dairy food matrix as well as in the gut. Multiple efforts have been done in the past and ongoing in present for these beneficial microbial population stability until their destination in the gut. One of a useful technique known as microencapsulation makes the probiotic effective in the diversified conditions and maintain these microbe’s community to the optimum level for achieving targeted benefits. Dairy products are found to be an ideal vehicle for probiotic incorporation. It has been seen that the encapsulated microbial cells show higher viability than the free cells in different processing and storage conditions as well as against bile salts in the gut. They make the food functional when incorporated, without affecting the product sensory characteristics.
