Women as Change Agents in the Emerging Green EconomyTom Barrett
In the last twenty years the poorest people in the United States became poorer. The richest people made the most mistakes with the least amount of accountability. What is going on? The need for change has never been greater.
Women have never had a greater opportunity to create change, to have an impact on society, than today.

Permeable Paving: A New Tool for Sustainable Site DevelopmentTom Barrett
Permeable paving is a transformative approach to sustainable site development.
Permeable hard surface construction is part of a continuing series of engineering solutions to water management that protects, restores, and mimics the natural water cycle.
Permeable paving is an efficient solution for stormwater runoff. It will reduce flooding, increase water infiltration, recharge groundwater and improve water quality.
SMART Landscape Irrigation (Orlando, February 2011)Tom Barrett
The water we use to irrigate our crops is vital and still we as a nation continue to practice inefficient irrigation methods. Current irrigation practices waste an exorbitant amount of money and water using our current process.
The EPA states, "Commercial and residential outdoor water use in the United States accounts for more than seven billion gallons of water each day, mainly for landscape irrigation." The EPA estimates over three and a half billions gallons of water are wasted every day with inefficient and ineffective irrigation practices. More than fifty percent of irrigation water used in residential and commercial irrigation systems is wasted.
In this presentation, Barrett presents the "State of the Art" in irrigation design and installation. Barrett will present a comprehensive and sometimes controversial exploration of alternate water sources as well as the EPA WaterSense Program, SMART irrigation technology and current regulatory trends in the irrigation industry.

El Puerto de Algeciras continúa un año más como el más eficiente del continente europeo y vuelve a situarse en el “top ten” mundial, según el informe The Container Port Performance Index 2023 (CPPI), elaborado por el Banco Mundial y la consultora S&P Global.
El informe CPPI utiliza dos enfoques metodológicos diferentes para calcular la clasificación del índice: uno administrativo o técnico y otro estadístico, basado en análisis factorial (FA). Según los autores, esta dualidad pretende asegurar una clasificación que refleje con precisión el rendimiento real del puerto, a la vez que sea estadísticamente sólida. En esta edición del informe CPPI 2023, se han empleado los mismos enfoques metodológicos y se ha aplicado un método de agregación de clasificaciones para combinar los resultados de ambos enfoques y obtener una clasificación agregada.

Product Design Trends in 2024 | Teenage EngineeringsPixeldarts
The realm of product design is a constantly changing environment where technology and style intersect. Every year introduces fresh challenges and exciting trends that mold the future of this captivating art form. In this piece, we delve into the significant trends set to influence the look and functionality of product design in the year 2024.
How Race, Age and Gender Shape Attitudes Towards Mental HealthThinkNow
Mental health has been in the news quite a bit lately. Dozens of U.S. states are currently suing Meta for contributing to the youth mental health crisis by inserting addictive features into their products, while the U.S. Surgeon General is touring the nation to bring awareness to the growing epidemic of loneliness and isolation. The country has endured periods of low national morale, such as in the 1970s when high inflation and the energy crisis worsened public sentiment following the Vietnam War. The current mood, however, feels different. Gallup recently reported that national mental health is at an all-time low, with few bright spots to lift spirits.
To better understand how Americans are feeling and their attitudes towards mental health in general, ThinkNow conducted a nationally representative quantitative survey of 1,500 respondents and found some interesting differences among ethnic, age and gender groups.
Technology
For example, 52% agree that technology and social media have a negative impact on mental health, but when broken out by race, 61% of Whites felt technology had a negative effect, and only 48% of Hispanics thought it did.
While technology has helped us keep in touch with friends and family in faraway places, it appears to have degraded our ability to connect in person. Staying connected online is a double-edged sword since the same news feed that brings us pictures of the grandkids and fluffy kittens also feeds us news about the wars in Israel and Ukraine, the dysfunction in Washington, the latest mass shooting and the climate crisis.
Hispanics may have a built-in defense against the isolation technology breeds, owing to their large, multigenerational households, strong social support systems, and tendency to use social media to stay connected with relatives abroad.
Age and Gender
When asked how individuals rate their mental health, men rate it higher than women by 11 percentage points, and Baby Boomers rank it highest at 83%, saying it’s good or excellent vs. 57% of Gen Z saying the same.
Gen Z spends the most amount of time on social media, so the notion that social media negatively affects mental health appears to be correlated. Unfortunately, Gen Z is also the generation that’s least comfortable discussing mental health concerns with healthcare professionals. Only 40% of them state they’re comfortable discussing their issues with a professional compared to 60% of Millennials and 65% of Boomers.
Race Affects Attitudes
As seen in previous research conducted by ThinkNow, Asian Americans lag other groups when it comes to awareness of mental health issues. Twenty-four percent of Asian Americans believe that having a mental health issue is a sign of weakness compared to the 16% average for all groups. Asians are also considerably less likely to be aware of mental health services in their communities (42% vs. 55%) and most likely to seek out information on social media (51% vs. 35%).

18. Landscape Ecology
Size the landscape to the
80% of the average rain
water production.
– Roof Runoff
– Hardscape Runoff
Balancing rain water to
landscape creates a
functional landscape that
utilizes the site’s water
production.
20. Stormwater Mitigation
– Collection runoff near the
source
– Slow it down
– Soak it in
– Filter it
– Apply it to the landscape
– Create habitats

28. Collection and Dispersal
Collection Systems
– Rain Barrels
– Downspout Collection
– Cisterns
Dispersal Systems
– Rain Gardens
– Bioswales
– Irrigation
37. Control Systems
Sensors plus Logic Circuits
Cistern Sensors
• High Water
– Disperse the water
– Alarm
• Irrigation Water
– Reserve for landscape
• Household Water
– Minimum if household water use
• Low Water l
– Pump protection
Irrigation System
• Soil moisture
39. Expanding Stormwater Detention
Systems into Stormwater Retention
Small increase in size Image of Growing Plant
creates a large increase in
volume.
Small increase in cost
delivers a large volume of
water.
Mitigates the ¼” to ½”
rainfall events.
41. HVAC Condensation
• ½ gallon per hour per ton
of air conditioning.
• 1,000 ton air conditioner
produces 8 gallons of
water per minute.
• Condensation production
occurs when the landscape
needs the water.
42. HVAC Condensation
• ½ gallon per hour per ton
of air conditioning.
• One ton of air conditioning
for every 700 sq. ft. of floor
space.
• One ton of air conditioning
for every 5,600 cu. ft. of
building volume.
43. Residential Condensation
• 8 to 15 gallons of water
per day.
• 60 to 100 gallons per
week.
• 250 to 450 gallons per
month.
44. Commercial Condensation
• 15 gallons of water per
minute.
• 360 gallons of water per
day.
• 2,520 gallons of water per
week.
• 10,000 gallons of water a
month.
