SSC2011_Michelle Winters PPT
This document discusses green building strategies for nonprofit housing organizations. It notes that the NeighborWorks network has expanded its green training and funded over 100 organizations doing green building and rehabilitation. While energy efficiency is most commonly addressed, green building programs should also consider water, health, and environmental impacts. The document recommends using comprehensive standards like Energy Star, LEED, or Living Building Challenge that address multiple factors beyond just energy. It provides examples of green building programs used and resources available to support nonprofit green efforts.
Energy Conservation
The document discusses the importance of conserving energy at home. It is important to conserve energy because current resources are being depleted and are not environmentally friendly. Conserving energy can help sustain the environment, reduce global warming, and reduce health issues. The document provides tips for conserving energy at home such as using power strips, keeping lights off, and using energy efficient bulbs. It also discusses how governments and communities can promote clean and renewable energy.

Role of energy in sustainable development goals
This document discusses the role of energy in achieving the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). It states that the SDGs cannot be achieved without conservation and sustainable use of energy, as each goal requires energy. It then summarizes how access to affordable, reliable energy is essential for reducing poverty and hunger, improving health and education, achieving gender equality, ensuring access to water, supporting economic growth, enabling industrialization, promoting sustainable cities and communities, addressing climate change, and fostering global partnerships. The document emphasizes that sustainable energy development and cooperation between all nations is needed to achieve the energy-related targets of the SDGs and create a cleaner, more equitable world.
Seminar 2021
Green energy refers to energy sources that are renewable and non-polluting, such as solar, wind, and hydropower. As fossil fuels are the largest driver of climate change, there is a need to transition away from coal, oil and gas to cleaner energy sources. Currently around 11% of global primary energy comes from renewable technologies like solar, wind, hydropower, and nuclear. The benefits of green energy include zero carbon emissions, abundant sources, and cleaner energy for a sustainable future. However, green energy technologies also have some limitations that need to be addressed through further research and development.
Energy Outreach Presentation
The document outlines an outreach agenda for the DOE Student Ambassadors Program. It proposes that student ambassadors organize and conduct outreach activities on their campuses and in local communities to increase awareness and knowledge of DOE programs and careers. It provides examples of different outreach activities, including energy tours, a sustainable film series, a green expo, and a "Kill-a-Watt" student energy competition where dorms compete to reduce their energy consumption the most over several months. The document describes how student ambassadors could implement a Kill-a-Watt competition on their own campus through stakeholder engagement, educational seminars, energy monitoring, and incentives.

GREEN CITIZEN’S GUIDE – I USE LESS ENERGY 1
The price of electricity in Greece has risen significantly in recent years, increasing household costs while incomes decrease. Greek households' electricity consumption has risen 21% in the last decade as access to electricity and electrical devices has increased. However, renewable energy sources only account for 9.2% of Greece's energy production, with the rest coming from fossil fuels that damage the environment. To reduce carbon footprints and energy costs, people must start reducing their household energy consumption, as homes use the most energy. Small changes can help lower electricity bills and benefit the environment.

Advancing Opportunities for Business and the Environment
GLOBE Advisors, a subsidiary of the Vancouver-based not-for-profit GLOBE Foundation, was established in response to an increasing demand for project-based sustainability consulting services in the environmental business sector.
The "GLOBE" name was established in 1990 and has become a recognized brand, both in Canada and internationally, with respect to the "business of the environment" - due in large part to the GLOBE Series of Conferences and Trade Fair Exhibitions held in Vancouver every two years and organized by the not-for-profit GLOBE Foundation.
In 2012, the company's President and CEO, Dr. John Wiebe, was recognized as one of Canada's "Clean 16" for his outstanding contributions to clean capitalism.
Our philosophy? Environmental challenges bring enormous opportunity for the business sector. Moreover, companies can do well by doing good for the environment, without sacrificing their bottom lines.
Our three guiding principles:
-Environmental problems are business opportunities.
-Companies that can provide clean technologies and solutions will prosper.
-Proactive organizations that embrace environmental sustainability will be more competitive.
