The document discusses a non-profit initiative called TerraDerm Foundation that aims to restore biological soil crusts (BSC) in arid lands through aerial distribution of BSC starter cultures. BSCs improve soil stability, fertility, and carbon sequestration. The initiative would use aircraft to broadly distribute a dry inoculant, allowing restoration at a global scale. Estimates suggest this approach could sequester over 100,000 tons of carbon annually and reduce greenhouse gases equivalent to 12.5% of 2050 climate goals. The restoration of healthy BSCs could help combat desertification and agricultural losses from dust storms.
Coal bed methane and underground coal gasificationDan Wilson
A brief introduction to coal bed methane (CBM) and underground coal gasification. It includes yields and possible environmental impacts. A group presentation as part of my MSc at Keele University.
This slideshow begins with an explanation of the science that is driving climate change. As fossil fuels are burned, heat-trapping carbon dioxide enters the atmosphere, altering the Earth's natural carbon cycle. This has dangerous impacts around the world. Extreme temperatures are becoming the norm, which leads to catastrophic weather events like droughts that cause wildfires, or storms that cause floods. The longer it takes to reverse our emissions trends, the worse these weather events will become and the further away we get from ever reaching a stable climate. But there are solutions; natural gas has become increasingly cheaper in recent years and, if extracted and consumed properly, can offer a much cleaner energy source than traditional coal. Huge gains have been made in energy efficiency as well; in buildings, transportation, industry, and the electricity system. Renewable energy has also entered the playing field, with solar, wind, biomass, geothermal, and storage now starting to be able to compete with traditional fossil fuels. Policy action is needed in order to maintain this transition toward cleaner energy. We need to manage our use of fossil fuels, expand energy efficiency, and accelerate renewables. Whether it's by state regulation, federal standards, or Congressional action, we have the opportunity to ensure a low-carbon future for the U.S. and the world.

Container deposit legislation requires distributors and retailers to collect a refundable deposit on certain beverage containers. It creates a collection system funded by producers and consumers to increase recycling rates of these containers. Studies show bottle bills result in higher recycling rates of 66-96% compared to 38% in states without deposits. They reduce litter and associated environmental impacts like greenhouse gas emissions from manufacturing new containers. While some industry groups oppose additional costs, supporters argue producers and consumers should bear responsibility for recycling packaging waste.

22. Arguments against incineration
1) It is not sustainable
2) It is a poor economic investment. Most
of the money spent will leave PR
Incineration is the MOST expensive way
of handling waste
Incineration is the SECOND MOST
expensive way of producing electricity
25. The Brescia incinerator
cost 300,000,000 Euro
plus another
500,000,000 Euros in
subsidies and has
created just 80 jobs.
26. Nova Scotia, Canada (video)
50% diversion in 5 years (1995-2000).
(Halifax ~ 60%)
1000 jobs created collecting and treating
discarded materials
Another 2000 jobs created in the
industries handling the collected material
27. Arguments against incineration
4) Incineration is very unpopular with the
public
In the US over 300 incinerator proposals
defeated between 1985-95
No new trash incinerator permitted in the
US since 1995!
29. Incineration stifles innovation
• “ An incinerator needs to be fed
for about 20 to 30 years and in
order to be economic needs an
enormous input from quite a
region, so for 20 to 30 years you
stifle innovation, you stifle
alternatives, just in order to feed
that monster which you build”
• Ludwig Kraemer, former Head of EU Waste
Management, BBC 1 Panorama Documentary
“Rubbish”

32. Arguments against incineration
7) It generates a toxic ash - It
doesn’t get rid of landfills
For every four tons of waste
burned you get one ton of ash
(or more)
That nobody wants!

41. Arguments against incineration
9) Incineration is poorly monitored
In the US monitoring of dioxins has been a
sick joke
There is no regulation or monitoring of
nanoparticles
42.
43. Nanoparticle problems
Not easily captured by air pollution
control devices
Nanoparticles from incineration far
more dangerous than other
nanoparticles
They travel long distances
Remain suspended for long periods
of time
44. •We Know that PM10 and PM2.5
cause many health problems
PM 10
• In urban areas both
mortality and morbidity
increase with particulate
levels
•The smaller the particles
the worse it gets
PM 2,5
45. Nano particles are
so small they
can easily cross

46. Nano Pathology
Once nanoparticles
have entered the
bloodstream they can
easily cross the
membranes of every
tissue in the body.

50. I have yet to see a documented
scientific response to either Cormier’s
paper
or
Professor Vyvyan Howard’s testimony
from
Any regulatory agency
Any incinerator builder
or
Any consultant promoting incineration
51. Meanwhile, while we are waiting for the
science, common sense says:
Don’t build incinerators in air sheds,
which have already been compromised
by particulate pollution, i.e. where
respiratory problems are already high
53. “Even if we made incineration safe we
would never make it sensible.
It simply does not make sense to
spend so much money destroying
resources we should be sharing with
the future.” (PC)
54. The modern incinerator is
attempting to perfect a bad idea
Our task in the 21st Century is not to
find better ways to destroy discarded
materials
But to stop making packaging and
products that have to be destroyed!
55. The Waste problem will not be
solved with better technology
But with
Better organization
Better education
and better industrial design
56. Arguments against incineration
10) There is a far better alternative strategy,
which is cheaper, creates more jobs and
business opportunities, does not create a toxic
ash and is sustainable.

(government incentives would help here)
127. Conclusions
We do not need mega-landfills or
incinerators!
There is a better alternative
The ZERO WASTE strategy is
Better for our health (LESS TOXICS)
Better for the economy,
Better for our children, and
Better for the planet (MORE
SUSTAINABLE)!
128. Please Note
Mass burn incineration only gets
75% diversion from landfill.
For every 4 Tons of waste burned
you get at least 1 Ton of Toxic Ash.
