Local Green Spaces contribute to local identity, character of the area and sense of the place. They make an important contribution to the physical form and layout of the settlement. They may link up with other open spaces and allow views through or beyond the settlement, which are valued locally. The green areas must be aesthetically pleasing, tranquil and possess recreational value for the local communityUse of native, drought-tolerant plantings will create habitat for birds and insects, reduce water use, and aid adaptation to changing climate conditions. Planting of shady trees will reduce the urban heat island effect, creating more livable outdoor spaces. Edible landscaping is a responsible and worthwhile use of landscape space, even in the front yard. Water retention and filtering will help protect water quality.
The soft landscaping in forms of trees, lawns, hedges, flower gardens can be around public areas such as monuments, industrial areas, commercial areas, along the drains and roads.

Assignment 2 Micro Analysis Description Using ONLY the info sheet, slide show and your
textbooks and class notes as resources you feel that you can answer BECs micro analysis with an
advice to the Chair of the Organization. Topics to be covered: You have made yourself a partial list
of guiding questions: 1. Which approach would work best for BEC in dealing with its stakeholders?
Why? 2. What stakeholder, ethical, and CSR issues can you foresee in this scenario? 3. Should
BEC establish an ethics/CSR department with a mandate to deal with ethical and shareholder and
CSR issues? If so, how should it look? What approaches would you recommend? 4. Based upon
the above analysis would you recommend BEC. proceed with the proposal? You envision plenty of
challenges but is there a way out? Your career may depend on your answer. An assessment
rubric for this project follows and will be uploaded to the Moodle course management system. THE
BIOSPHERE ECO-CITY APPROACH A Biosphere Eco-City (BEC) is an urban-centred region
where people and organizations cooperate to build a culture of sustainability. [see Zones of a
Biosphere Eco-City, separate document] The BEC approach grows a culture of sustainability
through engagement. And it strengthens urban-rural balance. Engagement is achieved within the
framework of 10 Themes of Sustainability. And it is promoted through 5 Tools of Engagement.
BEC Themes and Tools have been tested since 2009 in Ottawa, Canada, and have been found to
be effective. CULTURE OF SUSTAINABILITY Cultures strongly affect how we think and act. They
are built on our human experiences, sometimes over thousands of years (e.g., Agri-culture). But
with todays pace of change, cultures can develop quickly. When peoples habits change, so will
their culture (e.g., Cell Phone culture). The Biosphere Eco-City is an intentional approach that
engages people in sustainable activities to create a culture of sustainability. This will in turn
influence thoughts and actions. HUMAN CAPITAL A MAJOR RESOURCE BEC is for any city and
uses human capital its people The Biosphere Eco-City (BEC) model was developed for use in any
city using human capital the energy and ideas of people. It addresses human activities that impact
both people and the environment. ZONES OF A BIOSPHERE ECO-CITY A Biosphere Eco-City
has an urban core and a rural area A Biosphere Eco-City (BEC) has an urban core, where human
processes dominate, and a rural zone, where ecological processes are stronger. [See Zones of a
Biosphere Eco-City, separate document] THEMES OF A BIOSPHERE ECO-CITY Themes include
all areas of direct action for sustainability BEC Themes, include all areas of direct action for
sustainability. They are easy to understand and provide a framework for discussion. These
Themes are: Transportation, Energy, Design, Habitat, Food, Natural Capital, Waste, Health,
Recreation and Sense of Place. The framework of BEC Themes ensures all issues are discussed
and that people can connect .

Greenbelt Food Forest: Phase I Photo JournalCHEARS
City of Greenbelt Public Works, Camp Fire USA, Citizens to Conserve and Restore Indian Creek (CCRIC), CHEARS – Chesapeake Education, Arts, and Research Society, Ancestral Knowledge, and the Chesapeake Bay Trust are all working together to help improve water quality in our local watershed and throughout the Chesapeake Bay region by establishing the Greenbelt Food Forest.
Phase I of the project consisted of rain garden installation and water quality monitoring workshops linked with a workday at Three Sisters Demonstration Garden. Our goal is to provide safe outdoor classroom spaces to be used for intergenerational education, eco-arts, food production and community gatherings.
The City of Greenbelt was founded on the concepts of community design & “green” planning, in which every acre is put to its best and most sustainable use. Permaculture and other best land management practices are now being formally established throughout the city.
A major focus of Permaculture is Forest Gardening, which looks at the ecological interactions of healthy forest systems and integrates those strategies into our own methods of food production, water capture & storage, development, and energy usage.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
