Semantics Of Green
The document discusses the concepts of a "green economy" and "green-collar jobs". It defines a green economy as one that balances social, environmental and economic goals for sustainability. Green-collar jobs directly contribute to environmental quality and tend to be local, family-wage jobs in sectors like renewable energy, agriculture, manufacturing, and green building. The document also lists some drivers of a green economy and examples of green economy sectors and initiatives at the local, state and national levels.
An Introduction to Sunrise RI
1. The document discusses the problems of climate change and that solutions exist but fossil fuel CEOs and politicians are blocking action.
2. It notes that certain fossil fuel companies like Exxon Mobil knew about climate change decades ago but denied and deflected responsibility.
3. The document proposes a plan to build people power, political power, and alignment to demand a Green New Deal to rapidly transition away from fossil fuels through protests and social media campaigns.
Building a Healthy Economy
The document discusses building a healthy economy through sustainable development. It notes that available productive land per person has declined significantly over the past century due to overuse of natural resources. Sources like renewable and non-renewable resources provide materials and energy for livelihoods and the economy, while sinks assimilate wastes. Historically natural capital has been overused and undervalued, leading to degradation and low wealth in rural communities. Principles of sustainable development include being locally rooted and building self-reliance through cooperation. Green job categories discussed include restoration, efficiency/waste reduction, and renewable energy.

Lead on Climate Cctions
This document outlines several actions individuals can take to reduce their carbon footprint and combat climate change, such as purchasing renewable electricity, driving electric vehicles, making homes more energy efficient, adopting a low-carbon lifestyle, voting for climate-friendly policies, supporting future generations in climate education, acting locally in communities, and providing a brief timeline of Marin County's climate planning efforts.
The energy bills case
The document discusses a marketing campaign called Energy Impact Illinois that was launched to encourage homeowners to improve their home's energy efficiency. The campaign personified energy bills as "Big Bill", who represents wasteful and inefficient energy use, and "Little Bill", who represents responsible energy use. By creating this humorous odd couple, the campaign aimed to motivate homeowners to make energy efficient updates to lower their energy costs and avoid receiving a large "Big Bill".

15 Powerful Facts on Water and Energy Use
We've scoured the Internet and leveraged our database to bring you fifteen important figures on water and energy use in the built environment. Enjoy!
Stimulus Spending A Year Later
The document summarizes data from the Congressional Budget Office on the impact and status of funds from the 2009 American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. It reports that $787 billion was appropriated across tax benefits, entitlement programs, and grants/contracts/loans. As of November 2009, about half of funds for entitlements and tax relief had been spent, while only 25% of grants/contracts/loans had been obligated or spent due to issues like winter weather conditions and regulatory hurdles. Specific programs like highway construction and housing weatherization saw even lower percentages of funds spent.
CECDA
The document discusses the need to protect Earth, our only home, from the risks of climate change caused by greenhouse gas emissions like CO2. It notes that the US emits over 20% of the world's CO2 annually and this jeopardizes Earth's habitability. While the costs of energy are rising, consumers are forced to make tough decisions that sacrifice safety for energy or waste money on disappearing commodities. However, it argues we have the technology to build new infrastructure to support clean energy, though more must be done, and calls on the reader to do their part by supporting legislation to advance clean energy for the future of children.
Spiwe1
Green Village provides a solution to affordable housing crises through low-cost and sustainable designs using green innovations like bamboo and recycled materials. It empowers people by teaching them building and gardening skills to construct their own homes and grow their own food, cutting out middlemen and reducing costs. This allows people basic rights to property and food through self-sustaining communities.
Illinois Green Challenges And Opportunities
This document discusses green jobs in Illinois, including:
- Green jobs aim to address climate change and economic recession by supporting jobs in renewable energy, energy efficiency, and related fields.
- Illinois has seen growth in green job training programs at community colleges and initiatives by the city of Chicago and state to promote sustainability.
- However, fully developing green jobs faces barriers like lack of business involvement, slow technological innovation, insufficient incentives, and need for a more systematic approach to greening the entire economy.

He has gained work experience with organizations such as Amnesty International, Increase Access to Higher Education and Breakthrough. Mr. Hart’s interests are in math, natural science computers and medicine and he will be attending Morehouse College in the fall.
Zero Carbon Alliance Presentation
The document discusses America's energy crisis and dependence on foreign oil. It proposes that homeowners can take steps to reduce their carbon footprint and energy costs through home energy audits, purchasing renewable energy credits (RECs), and earning referral commissions by sharing information about the program. RECs help boost the renewable energy industry and economy while qualifying homes as environmentally friendly and lowering long-term energy costs.
Reyes.Norreida.SampleNewsletterColumn.Spring2009
This article discusses the Sierra Atlantic Albany chapter's top legislative priorities for 2009 of establishing a clean energy economy and clean water. It outlines bills focused on reducing greenhouse gas emissions, protecting wetlands and isolated waters, restoring public access to environmental reviews, establishing e-waste recycling requirements, and increasing oversight and regulations around natural gas drilling. The chapter is urging state legislators and agencies to prioritize green job creation and direct federal stimulus funds towards clean energy and environmental restoration projects.
Major environmental problems in iraqi kurdistan and proposed solutions
This document discusses major environmental problems in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq and proposes solutions. It outlines issues such as lack of green spaces, drought from dams built by neighboring countries, low percentages of green area in cities, insufficient electricity supply despite oil resources, high levels of fossil fuel vehicle use, and excessive air conditioner usage. Solutions proposed include increasing investment in renewable energy, developing more dams, setting city-wide green area percentage goals, expanding public transit and promoting alternatives to fossil fuel cars, and reducing air conditioner consumption. The author argues that addressing these problems now is needed to ensure a sustainable future for coming generations.

Michael Li's presentation at CEE's Community Energy Forum: How Community Actions and Resources will Shape our Energy Future.Report, Ca Green Opportunities And Challenges
California has a long history of leadership in green policies and initiatives dating back to 1978. It currently leads the nation in clean energy businesses, jobs, and investment. The state's green economy focuses on clean energy, energy efficiency, environmentally friendly production, conservation, and supporting jobs and services. Challenges include providing seed funding and financing assistance, implementing ambitious policies around land use and emissions reductions, ensuring access to information, and building public trust. While green activities can create jobs, this should not be the primary focus as replacing existing jobs and employing currently unemployed workers will be prioritized in the near term.

Climate change poses urgent challenges that require global cooperation and drastic action. The impacts of climate change like extreme weather events are already being felt around the world. However, countries have made little progress in reducing greenhouse gas emissions despite decades of climate negotiations. Developed nations need to make deeper cuts in emissions while providing funding and technologies to help developing countries transition to low-carbon economies. Equity is needed to share the remaining carbon budget fairly and ensure the poor can still develop. Major changes are required across energy, transport, land use and forestry to reinvent economic growth sustainably.

Community Action Plan
The document outlines a community action plan to address environmental and social issues facing the Holiday Lake West neighborhood. It proposes forming a civic association to connect neighbors and implement solutions like locally grown food from community gardens, bulk purchasing of energy efficient products, and advocating for solar energy and algae biofuel projects with the local power company. The goal is to build a sustainable community through systems thinking and cooperation to benefit both current and future residents.
Agricultural effects
Agriculture has social, environmental, and economic effects. Socially, it provides employment in communities and allows farmers to interact and sell crops. Environmentally, it can cause deforestation, salinity, weakening of soil structure, and increased greenhouse gas emissions. Economically, agriculture is a primary industry and major contributor to Australia's economy.

This bill proposes to prohibit business entities from making direct contributions to political campaigns and create a public financing system to fund elections instead. It argues this is needed to reduce corporate influence over politicians and ensure elected officials represent constituents rather than corporate interests. However, others argue direct contributions are already strictly limited by law and this bill does not address the largest campaign contributors like unions and tribes, only targeting corporations. It may also violate the Citizens United ruling that prohibits restricting independent political expenditures by corporations and unions.Murrieta/Wildomar Chamber Presentation 3/11/2021

Climate impact / sustainability of software testing discussed on the talk. ICT and testing must carry their part of global responsibility to help with the climat warming. We can minimize the carbon footprint but we can also have a carbon handprint, a positive impact on the climate. Quality characteristics can be added with sustainability, and then measured continuously. Test environments can be used less, and in smaller scale and on demand. Test techniques can be used in optimizing or minimizing number of tests. Test automation can be used to speed up testing.

Cosa hanno in comune un mattoncino Lego e la backdoor XZ?
ABSTRACT: A prima vista, un mattoncino Lego e la backdoor XZ potrebbero avere in comune il fatto di essere entrambi blocchi di costruzione, o dipendenze di progetti creativi e software. La realtà è che un mattoncino Lego e il caso della backdoor XZ hanno molto di più di tutto ciò in comune.

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdf
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:

Say Caldwell
- 1. Legislative Session Moved Forward Aggressively on Key Goals By Speaker of the House Calvin Say And House Majority Leader Kirk Caldwell Lingle administration policy advisor Linda Smith's opinion piece in the May 2nd Honolulu Advertiser is criticism for criticism's sake. Smith either does not understand what happened this legislative session or is intentionally ignoring it. This kind of political bickering serves no one. Contrary to Linda Smith's opinions, this was the most productive and comprehensive session for land conservation, renewable energy, and agriculture that we have had since Governor Lingle took office. Additionally, the legislature took a prudent approach to the state budget which faced fiscal reality and still addressed our most pressing needs. Here are some examples of the initiatives taken by the House and Senate this session: Renewable Energy The legislature passed a bill to place solar water heating units on the roofs of all new ho
