Ensuring Environmental Sustainability
A slide show on promoting environmental sustainability in an attempt to align with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.
Ensure Environmental Sustainability
The document discusses the importance of environmental sustainability as one of the UN Millennial Development Goals. It resonates because all living organisms rely on the environment, and without a healthy environment, achieving the other UN goals would be impossible. Locally, people can get involved through reducing waste, volunteering for cleanups, shopping sustainably, using renewable energy, and avoiding single-use vehicles. The greatest contribution could be made by educating others and joining volunteer groups. Social media can uniquely spread awareness of environmental issues and connect people to local volunteer opportunities.

The document discusses ensuring sustainable consumption and production patterns. It notes that the global population is projected to grow significantly by 2030 and 2050, requiring the equivalent of almost three planets to sustain current lifestyles. The author's hometown of Beijing suffers from severe air pollution due to smog. People have a responsibility to leave enough resources and a beautiful environment for future generations, as current consumption and production methods have caused great harm. Advocating for more sustainable practices locally through waste reduction, environmentally friendly products, and refusing harmful products can influence companies to change production methods.
Climate Action Slideshow UWT
The document discusses the author's interest in advocating for climate change locally through a Community of Practice (CoP). The author proposes creating a blog focused on climate change in their area and conducting meetings using Zoom to unite people concerned about climate change. The author believes the biggest contribution could be made on social media and in their community, by starting a club to raise donations. Social media could be used to create a climate action page, blog, and promote events to gain momentum for addressing climate change locally.
Gem ppt-33-life style changes
This document discusses ways to protect the planet through lifestyle changes. It summarizes Pope Francis' encyclical Laudato Si, which calls for reducing consumerism. Some specific lifestyle changes mentioned include using public transportation, becoming a green consumer, saving water and energy, planting trees, and avoiding single-use plastics. It encourages forming environmental groups and creating social pressure on businesses to consider their environmental impact. The document argues that individual and community efforts can help address issues like climate change through changes in mindset and consumer habits.
Sustainable living ideas
Sustainability refers to meeting present needs without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. Sustainable living aims to reduce an individual's use of natural resources and dependence on them. As the environment's ecological balance degrades, switching to sustainable living helps make a lesser negative impact by reducing waste, reusing products, using less energy and water, and relying more on local resources and renewable energy.

Plastics and Climate Change: How Single-Use Packaging is Fueling the Crisis
Plastics and Climate Change: How Single-Use Packaging is Fueling the Crisisplasticpollutioncoalition
Over 99% of plastic is made from fossil fuels, and greenhouse gases are emitted at every stage of the plastics life cycle. Yet, even as the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change warns that “climate change is widespread, rapid, and intensifying,” big brands like Coca-Cola, PepsiCo, and Nestlé (including BlueTriton, formerly Nestlé Waters North America) are increasing their production of single-use plastics and packaging—driving a petrochemical expansion that threatens the global climate as well as communities and ecosystems around the world.
The September 2021 webinar featured Judith Enck, President of Beyond Plastics and former Regional Administrator of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency under President Obama, who discussed the nexus between plastic production and climate change, including the immense environmental justice impacts, and Graham Forbes, Global Project Leader of the Plastic-Free Future campaign at Greenpeace, who discussed Greenpeace USA's new report, The Climate Emergency Unpacked: How Consumer Goods Companies are Fueling Big Oil's Plastic Expansion. The panel was moderated by Jen Fela, Director of Communications at Plastic Pollution Coalition.Ldl lesson environment_greece

Green living
Green living means making conscious decisions to conserve resources and protect the planet. While common daily habits like long baths and running water seem normal, they are actually depleting finite resources. Practicing green living is important because all humans require clean water, air, food and a healthy environment to survive. Small steps like recycling plastic bags, limiting water usage, and unplugging appliances can help reduce our environmental footprint.
Ensure environmental sustainability pk
This document discusses ensuring environmental sustainability. It notes that between 1990 and 2012, global carbon dioxide emissions increased over 50% and that signs of global warming are present, so efforts must be made to lessen the effects on the planet. The document proposes applying an interest in technology and marketing locally by working with businesses to spread news of sustainability. It also suggests standing firm with companies that do not practice sustainability and sharing news of it through social networks. Finally, it discusses how social media can uniquely educate people on the importance of environmental sustainability due to its large worldwide reach.
Slideshare
The document discusses a social media campaign called #CleanSeasPhoto run by the UN Environment to raise awareness of ocean pollution. The campaign encourages people to post photos related to marine litter and tag them with #CleanSeasPhoto for a chance to win a trip to San Diego. Plastic pollution is a major problem as at least 8 million tons of plastic ends up in oceans each year, and experts estimate there will be more plastic than fish in oceans by 2050. The document encourages people to participate in the photo campaign using #CleanSeasPhoto to draw attention to the issue of ocean pollution.
Go green earth should be green
This presentation discusses various topics related to pollution and going green. It includes charts showing the impact of vehicles and smoking on pollution levels. It also discusses the effects of pollution on humans, the causes of deforestation, and the impacts of deforestation such as soil erosion, disruption of water cycles, and climate change. The presentation encourages reducing waste and consumption of natural resources to help the environment.
Green team political party
The document discusses the political party Green Team and their philosophy of ecocentrism, which is a nature-centered view of the environment that emphasizes minimal disturbance of natural processes and sustainability for the whole Earth. Ecocentrism is important because it focuses on the relationship between humans and the non-human world. People can become more ecocentric by being self-reliant, engaging in local community actions, and reducing their environmental impact through consuming less and decreasing resource use. The advantages of changing to a more ecocentric philosophy include avoiding natural disasters and ensuring resources are available for future generations.

Pollution is the introduction of contaminants into the environment through human or natural actions. It has detrimental effects on living organisms, making environments unable to sustain life. Different types of pollution include air, water, noise, and land pollution. Air pollution occurs when harmful gases, dust, fumes or odors are introduced into the air. Water pollution changes the quality of water in a way that harms living things. Noise pollution includes any loud, undesirable noise. Land pollution degrades the earth's surfaces through misuse of resources. Environmental issues today include global warming, pollution, loss of natural resources, and nuclear problems. Global warming increases temperatures due to greenhouse gases. Pollution is a daily problem. Loss of resources threatens ecosystems as
Plastic pollution
Plastic pollution is a major global problem caused by the accumulation of plastic waste in the environment. Nearly 300 million tons of plastic are produced annually, half of which is for single-use purposes. More than 8 million tons of plastic end up in oceans each year. Plastic pollution harms wildlife and ecosystems through entanglement, ingestion, and chemical exposure. Reducing plastic usage, reusing products, and improving waste management and recycling are key to solving this growing environmental issue.
Environmental protection
This document outlines various ways individuals can help protect the environment, including recycling, avoiding burning garbage, using electric fans instead of air conditioning, growing vegetables in the backyard, not littering, planting trees, turning off unused appliances, avoiding the use of cars for short trips, and not throwing chemicals in inappropriate places. Adopting these behaviors can help lessen issues like global warming, air pollution, and climate change.

Phenomics assisted breeding in crop improvement
As the population is increasing and will reach about 9 billion upto 2050. Also due to climate change, it is difficult to meet the food requirement of such a large population. Facing the challenges presented by resource shortages, climate
change, and increasing global population, crop yield and quality need to be improved in a sustainable way over the coming decades. Genetic improvement by breeding is the best way to increase crop productivity. With the rapid progression of functional
genomics, an increasing number of crop genomes have been sequenced and dozens of genes influencing key agronomic traits have been identified. However, current genome sequence information has not been adequately exploited for understanding
the complex characteristics of multiple gene, owing to a lack of crop phenotypic data. Efficient, automatic, and accurate technologies and platforms that can capture phenotypic data that can
be linked to genomics information for crop improvement at all growth stages have become as important as genotyping. Thus,
high-throughput phenotyping has become the major bottleneck restricting crop breeding. Plant phenomics has been defined as the high-throughput, accurate acquisition and analysis of multi-dimensional phenotypes
during crop growing stages at the organism level, including the cell, tissue, organ, individual plant, plot, and field levels. With the rapid development of novel sensors, imaging technology,
and analysis methods, numerous infrastructure platforms have been developed for phenotyping.
The debris of the ‘last major merger’ is dynamically young
The Milky Way’s (MW) inner stellar halo contains an [Fe/H]-rich component with highly eccentric orbits, often referred to as the
‘last major merger.’ Hypotheses for the origin of this component include Gaia-Sausage/Enceladus (GSE), where the progenitor
collided with the MW proto-disc 8–11 Gyr ago, and the Virgo Radial Merger (VRM), where the progenitor collided with the
MW disc within the last 3 Gyr. These two scenarios make different predictions about observable structure in local phase space,
because the morphology of debris depends on how long it has had to phase mix. The recently identified phase-space folds in Gaia
DR3 have positive caustic velocities, making them fundamentally different than the phase-mixed chevrons found in simulations
at late times. Roughly 20 per cent of the stars in the prograde local stellar halo are associated with the observed caustics. Based
on a simple phase-mixing model, the observed number of caustics are consistent with a merger that occurred 1–2 Gyr ago.
We also compare the observed phase-space distribution to FIRE-2 Latte simulations of GSE-like mergers, using a quantitative
measurement of phase mixing (2D causticality). The observed local phase-space distribution best matches the simulated data
1–2 Gyr after collision, and certainly not later than 3 Gyr. This is further evidence that the progenitor of the ‘last major merger’
did not collide with the MW proto-disc at early times, as is thought for the GSE, but instead collided with the MW disc within
the last few Gyr, consistent with the body of work surrounding the VRM.
Unlocking the mysteries of reproduction: Exploring fecundity and gonadosomati...
The pygmy halfbeak Dermogenys colletei, is known for its viviparous nature, this presents an intriguing case of relatively low fecundity, raising questions about potential compensatory reproductive strategies employed by this species. Our study delves into the examination of fecundity and the Gonadosomatic Index (GSI) in the Pygmy Halfbeak, D. colletei (Meisner, 2001), an intriguing viviparous fish indigenous to Sarawak, Borneo. We hypothesize that the Pygmy halfbeak, D. colletei, may exhibit unique reproductive adaptations to offset its low fecundity, thus enhancing its survival and fitness. To address this, we conducted a comprehensive study utilizing 28 mature female specimens of D. colletei, carefully measuring fecundity and GSI to shed light on the reproductive adaptations of this species. Our findings reveal that D. colletei indeed exhibits low fecundity, with a mean of 16.76 ± 2.01, and a mean GSI of 12.83 ± 1.27, providing crucial insights into the reproductive mechanisms at play in this species. These results underscore the existence of unique reproductive strategies in D. colletei, enabling its adaptation and persistence in Borneo's diverse aquatic ecosystems, and call for further ecological research to elucidate these mechanisms. This study lends to a better understanding of viviparous fish in Borneo and contributes to the broader field of aquatic ecology, enhancing our knowledge of species adaptations to unique ecological challenges.

The use of Nauplii and metanauplii artemia in aquaculture (brine shrimp).pptx
Although Artemia has been known to man for centuries, its use as a food for the culture of larval organisms apparently began only in the 1930s, when several investigators found that it made an excellent food for newly hatched fish larvae (Litvinenko et al., 2023). As aquaculture developed in the 1960s and ‘70s, the use of Artemia also became more widespread, due both to its convenience and to its nutritional value for larval organisms (Arenas-Pardo et al., 2024). The fact that Artemia dormant cysts can be stored for long periods in cans, and then used as an off-the-shelf food requiring only 24 h of incubation makes them the most convenient, least labor-intensive, live food available for aquaculture (Sorgeloos & Roubach, 2021). The nutritional value of Artemia, especially for marine organisms, is not constant, but varies both geographically and temporally. During the last decade, however, both the causes of Artemia nutritional variability and methods to improve poorquality Artemia have been identified (Loufi et al., 2024).
Brine shrimp (Artemia spp.) are used in marine aquaculture worldwide. Annually, more than 2,000 metric tons of dry cysts are used for cultivation of fish, crustacean, and shellfish larva. Brine shrimp are important to aquaculture because newly hatched brine shrimp nauplii (larvae) provide a food source for many fish fry (Mozanzadeh et al., 2021). Culture and harvesting of brine shrimp eggs represents another aspect of the aquaculture industry. Nauplii and metanauplii of Artemia, commonly known as brine shrimp, play a crucial role in aquaculture due to their nutritional value and suitability as live feed for many aquatic species, particularly in larval stages (Sorgeloos & Roubach, 2021).
The binding of cosmological structures by massless topological defects
Assuming spherical symmetry and weak field, it is shown that if one solves the Poisson equation or the Einstein field
equations sourced by a topological defect, i.e. a singularity of a very specific form, the result is a localized gravitational
field capable of driving flat rotation (i.e. Keplerian circular orbits at a constant speed for all radii) of test masses on a thin
spherical shell without any underlying mass. Moreover, a large-scale structure which exploits this solution by assembling
concentrically a number of such topological defects can establish a flat stellar or galactic rotation curve, and can also deflect
light in the same manner as an equipotential (isothermal) sphere. Thus, the need for dark matter or modified gravity theory is
mitigated, at least in part.

Nucleophilic Addition of carbonyl compounds.pptx
Nucleophilic addition is the most important reaction of carbonyls. Not just aldehydes and ketones, but also carboxylic acid derivatives in general.
Carbonyls undergo addition reactions with a large range of nucleophiles.
Comparing the relative basicity of the nucleophile and the product is extremely helpful in determining how reversible the addition reaction is. Reactions with Grignards and hydrides are irreversible. Reactions with weak bases like halides and carboxylates generally don’t happen.
Electronic effects (inductive effects, electron donation) have a large impact on reactivity.
Large groups adjacent to the carbonyl will slow the rate of reaction.
Neutral nucleophiles can also add to carbonyls, although their additions are generally slower and more reversible. Acid catalysis is sometimes employed to increase the rate of addition.
BREEDING METHODS FOR DISEASE RESISTANCE.pptx
Plant breeding for disease resistance is a strategy to reduce crop losses caused by disease. Plants have an innate immune system that allows them to recognize pathogens and provide resistance. However, breeding for long-lasting resistance often involves combining multiple resistance genes
Equivariant neural networks and representation theory
Or: Beyond linear.
Abstract: Equivariant neural networks are neural networks that incorporate symmetries. The nonlinear activation functions in these networks result in interesting nonlinear equivariant maps between simple representations, and motivate the key player of this talk: piecewise linear representation theory.

With increasing population, people need to rely on packaged food stuffs. Packaging of food materials requires the preservation of food. There are various methods for the treatment of food to preserve them and irradiation treatment of food is one of them. It is the most common and the most harmless method for the food preservation as it does not alter the necessary micronutrients of food materials. Although irradiated food doesn’t cause any harm to the human health but still the quality assessment of food is required to provide consumers with necessary information about the food. ESR spectroscopy is the most sophisticated way to investigate the quality of the food and the free radicals induced during the processing of the food. ESR spin trapping technique is useful for the detection of highly unstable radicals in the food. The antioxidant capability of liquid food and beverages in mainly performed by spin trapping technique.

Applied Science: Thermodynamics, Laws & Methodology.pdf
When I was asked to give a companion lecture in support of ‘The Philosophy of Science’ (https://shorturl.at/4pUXz) I decided not to walk through the detail of the many methodologies in order of use. Instead, I chose to employ a long standing, and ongoing, scientific development as an exemplar. And so, I chose the ever evolving story of Thermodynamics as a scientific investigation at its best.
Conducted over a period of >200 years, Thermodynamics R&D, and application, benefitted from the highest levels of professionalism, collaboration, and technical thoroughness. New layers of application, methodology, and practice were made possible by the progressive advance of technology. In turn, this has seen measurement and modelling accuracy continually improved at a micro and macro level.
Perhaps most importantly, Thermodynamics rapidly became a primary tool in the advance of applied science/engineering/technology, spanning micro-tech, to aerospace and cosmology. I can think of no better a story to illustrate the breadth of scientific methodologies and applications at their best.

Pollution
- 1. WHAT IS POLLUTION AND HOW DOES IT BENEFIT THE ENVIRONMENT AND OUR OWN HEALTH? By: Caleb Dunn
- 2. ● 90% of the world’s children breaths toxic air every day ● 7.25 billion kg of plastic ends up in the ocean every single year ● Over 1 million seabirds and 100,000 sea mammals are killed by pollution every year ● Every calendar year, 1.2 trillion gallons of industrial waste and untreated sewage is dumped into just US water alone ● Recycling alone prevented 85 millions tons of material waste in 2010 Pollution by the Facts
- 3. Chemical Pollution Air Pollution Plastic Pollution There Are 3 Different Types of Pollution
- 4. ● Chemical pollution happens because it exists in the food we eat, the products we use, and the air we breathe ● Laws are becoming stricter and stricter for food in order to help with pesticides and other harmful chemicals ● There is also more and more information that continues to get released that is helpful in understanding the hazardous chemicals around us Chemical Pollution
- 5. ● Gasoline powered cars admit hazardous chemicals into the environment ● Power plants and factories also admit hazardous chemicals that damage our lungs ● 4.2 million people die every year from hazardous outdoor air pollution Air Pollution
- 6. ● Recycling plastics genuinely helps drastically in eliminating plastic waste dumped in the ocean ● For businesses, it is far cheaper to use recyclable materials than newly made plastics ● One million plastic water bottles are purchased every five minutes globally ● Half of all plastic that is produced is designed to be used only once and then thrown away Plastic Pollution
- 7. • Altogether reducing plastic, air, and chemical pollution imposes huge health benefits, helps natural wildlife, and keeps people alive and healthy • There are tons of organizations like WHO and ClientEarth that are worth checking out and donating to in order to help with worldwide pollution • It is our job to do little things like recycle, be informed, and look for ways to improve the environment in eliminating pollution The Verdict
