2 likes•1,672 views
Solid waste management is a major financial and environmental problem in the United States. Vast amounts of paper, plastic, aluminum and other materials are thrown away each year, representing billions of dollars in avoidable costs and lost revenue opportunities. Communities should treat solid waste disposal like other utilities by metering the amount of trash generated. Cities that have implemented trash metering programs have significantly reduced the amount of solid waste produced, with declines ranging from 41-59% over time periods of 3 months to 8 years.

Shropshire Hills Aonb Presentation 21st October 2008
The document is a presentation to the Shropshire Hills AONB Partnership on climate change, energy security, and renewable energy. It discusses the need to reduce carbon emissions from energy generation given population growth, rising energy demand, and finite fossil fuel resources. It outlines UK and EU targets for increasing renewable energy and estimates the amount of wind power capacity needed to meet these targets. It emphasizes the urgency of ramping up renewable energy deployment and the need for both demand reduction and increasing renewable energy supply to address climate change and energy security challenges.
Financing the World's Forests: integrating markets and stakeholders
1) Deforestation accounts for 18% of global carbon emissions and is equivalent to flying 12.5 million people from London to New York daily.
2) Emerging frameworks like REDD+ aim to finance forest conservation through carbon markets and other mechanisms, but $17-33 billion is needed annually.
3) Business activities like cattle ranching and palm oil plantations are major drivers of deforestation, threatening forest "eco-utilities" valued in trillions of dollars annually.
The role of subnational actors in energy system transitions
This document discusses the increasing climate action being taken by subnational actors like states, regions, and businesses. It notes that these non-federal actors currently represent over half of US greenhouse gas emissions and two-thirds of the population, and if combined would be the second largest economy in the world. The document outlines some of the policy tools and actions subnational actors are implementing to reduce emissions, like renewable portfolio standards, carbon pricing, vehicle standards, and coal power plant retirement. It concludes by thanking the audience.
Green Energy
This document discusses green energy and decoupling economic growth from energy consumption and carbon emissions. It finds that historically economic growth has correlated with increased energy use. Decoupling aims to continue economic development without a corresponding rise in environmental impact. The limits and challenges of decarbonization include the high costs of technologies like carbon capture and storage, nuclear power, and ensuring a just transition that does not negatively impact industries and workers. Overall decoupling economic growth from energy use and decarbonizing will be difficult but necessary for environmental sustainability.
Physics Ferguson
The document discusses the Kyoto Protocol, an international treaty intended to stabilize greenhouse gases and prevent human interference with the climate. It establishes binding commitments for industrialized nations to reduce emissions of four greenhouse gases by 5.2% by 2010 compared to 1990 levels. While the US signed the treaty, it was never ratified due to exemptions, concerns about the economy, and a desire for more global participation. Subsequent discussions aimed to establish a successor to the protocol with broader participation and deeper emissions cuts. The document also outlines various US initiatives under Obama to promote renewable energy and reduce emissions, such as stimulus funding for clean energy jobs, research, and electric vehicles.

The goal is to pass a strong climate bill that makes a fair transition to clean energy and safeguards communities and natural resources from climate impacts.
What the Clean Energy Revolution Means for Yemen
The document discusses the global shift toward clean and renewable energy. It notes that many countries agreed in 2016 to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and transition away from fossil fuels. The document then discusses efforts by Middle Eastern countries like Saudi Arabia and Morocco to increase renewable energy production and exports. Finally, it explains that the transition to clean energy could greatly benefit Yemen by providing more affordable and reliable energy while boosting economic growth and reducing poverty.
Climate Equity December 2007
- Climate change poses a serious threat and is already causing dangerous impacts like rising sea levels and more extreme weather events. Urgent action is needed to drastically reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
- Developed countries need to cut emissions by 30% or more by 2020, while developing countries should pursue low-carbon growth strategies to avoid future emissions increases rather than legally binding cuts.
- A new framework is needed that establishes per capita emissions rights and a global carbon market to facilitate a just transition to low-carbon economies worldwide by 2050.

9 Dec - France 2072 : Lifestyles at the core of carbon neutrality challenges
This document discusses France's efforts towards achieving carbon neutrality by 2050. It examines two scenarios reflecting different lifestyles - a "digital society" motivated by personal achievement and a "collective society" motivated by social connections. The collective society scenario results in significantly lower final energy consumption and allows for a balanced multi-energy system relying on electricity, biomass, and limited gas and hydrogen. However, both scenarios face challenges in technical feasibility and social acceptance of technologies like carbon capture and storage that would be required at large scale. The document concludes that supply-side policies alone will not achieve carbon neutrality and that influencing lifestyles towards more sober patterns, as seen in the collective society scenario, is also crucial.

Climate Change as an Opportunity
This document discusses the threats of climate change and opportunities for mitigating it. Global greenhouse gas emissions are exceeding levels needed to limit warming to 2°C. The carbon budget for staying below 2°C is likely to be exceeded by 2040. Ten solutions are proposed, including integrating climate into economic decision making, establishing a carbon price, increasing low-carbon infrastructure investment, and shifting away from coal power. Transitioning to a low-carbon economy could drive significant economic growth through investments in renewable energy technologies like solar and wind power, which have huge untapped potential. The costs of transition are financially feasible and would amount to around $640 billion per year globally.
Solar Energy - Relevance to SMEs
This document discusses the relevance of solar energy for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in India. It notes that climate change is a serious problem caused by greenhouse gas emissions from fossil fuel use. Solar energy is a promising renewable alternative that can address energy security issues and reduce dependence on fossil fuel imports. India receives a large amount of solar radiation that could meet its energy needs many times over through solar power. The document argues that solar technologies are suitable for small businesses, as the costs of solar have reached parity with diesel generators in some areas of India. Solar can provide process heat for industrial applications. Widespread adoption of solar energy would create domestic manufacturing and jobs while spurring economic growth for SMEs.
Connecting IPCC and COP, and the Asian energy reality
The bulk of incremental global CO2 emissions comes from Asia Pacific driven by India and Southeast Asia. In a Paris-compatible scenario, India and Southeast Asia would need substantial reductions in coal power and increases in renewable energy. However, there is a large gap between the COP/IPCC narrative and Asian energy reality. Coal remains the most abundant and cheapest resource in countries like India. Raising energy prices through carbon taxes is extremely unpopular, especially in developing countries where priorities lie with education, healthcare, and jobs over climate change. Carbon neutrality will only be possible when zero-carbon technologies can be deployed at affordable prices.

Bioenergy - a viable controllable alternative
India relies heavily on fossil fuels for its primary energy needs but is seeking to develop sustainable and environmentally friendly energy sources. India faces an energy trilemma of needing sufficient, cheap, and clean energy to power economic growth and reach underserved communities. Currently fossil fuels account for 66% of energy while renewable sources like solar, wind and hydro combined make up just 20%. India is pursuing alternative energy development through policies that support solar, wind, hydro and bioenergy to reduce reliance on imports and address issues of energy security, equity and environmental protection.
Matt Hindle, ADBA
This document discusses the current state of anaerobic digestion (AD) on UK farms and proposals to incentivize more on-farm AD through changes to the UK Feed-in Tariff (FIT) program. The panel discusses how current FIT rates are too low to support 8% project returns for small-scale AD plants. While a tight budget may prevent across-the-board FIT increases, new mechanisms for pre-accreditation and a separate small-scale AD tariff are proposed to better support on-farm projects and recognize wider environmental benefits. The panel predicts FIT reforms and any new tariffs would likely be announced in early 2016 following government consultation later in 2015.

The Top 5 Job-Creating Facts About Energy
The U.S. Chamber advocates for expanding American energy resources to boost energy security and job creation. According to the document, shale energy production currently supports over 70,000 jobs in North Dakota and is projected to support 3.9 million jobs nationally by 2025; the coal industry supports over 766,000 jobs and generates 40% of the country's electricity; and policy changes to oil and natural gas could generate 1.4 million new jobs by 2030.
Energy And Climate Change
The document discusses global energy use and carbon emissions. It notes that the current energy system is heavily reliant on fossil fuels, producing over 30 billion tonnes of CO2 emissions annually. While renewable energy is growing, it still accounts for a tiny fraction of global electricity generation compared to coal, gas and oil. The document argues that a major transition is needed to limit global warming, through improving energy efficiency, expanding renewables and nuclear power, electrifying transport, and developing carbon capture and storage. However, large-scale changes will take time due to infrastructure lifetimes and the gradual pace of technological adoption. Scenarios projecting pathways to lower emissions by 2050 involve coordinated international efforts to gradually transform energy systems over decades.

The document discusses energy trends in America. It states that the world will require 53% more energy by 2035 to sustain economic growth, and the U.S. will require 9% more energy, over half of which will come from oil and gas. Technological innovations have increased U.S. oil and natural gas production from shale resources, which are widely dispersed across the country and allow access to additional resources while protecting the environment. Shale development has also created new jobs and offset declining production from other resources.

Group1 SLE Feasibility - SmartBin
SmartBin is an automatic trash can that sorts trash from recyclables using existing scanning and sorting technology. It aims to address the large gap between Americans' perceived recycling rates and actual rates due to human error in sorting. SmartBin removes human error by shifting sorting responsibility to automatic technology directly at the collection point. Initial feedback from industry experts is positive. SmartBin plans to focus on the university market, as data shows their average recycling rate of 26% is lower than the national average of 34%. With over 17 million university students in the US generating over 5 million tons of waste annually, SmartBin sees a large potential market.

Smartcity Evolution
The document discusses the rise of smart cities and their importance. Some key points:
- Over 50% of the world's population lives in cities currently, and this is projected to grow significantly over the next 15 years, especially in places like China.
- Cities will account for 90% of global population growth, 80% of CO2 emissions, and 75% of energy use by the 21st century.
- With this rapid growth and increased pressures, cities need to become "smart" to address challenges like resource scarcity, aging infrastructure, traffic congestion, and carbon emissions in a sustainable way.
- Smart cities utilize digital technologies and sensor networks to improve performance, sustainability, and quality of life for citizens

Seeing the Urban Forest for the Trees
1. Urbanization is increasing globally, with more people living in urban areas, which leads to issues like increased energy use and air pollution. Trees can help address some of these issues by providing shade, improving air quality, and sequestering carbon.
2. Nature and urban populations interact in cities, as trees grow both through natural regeneration and planting. However, costs are unavoidable to maintain trees and infrastructure.
3. The urban forest and tree cover is facing threats from development, climate change, pests and diseases, and invasive species, which could reduce tree cover in cities by thousands of acres each year. Proper planning, assessment, and monitoring are needed to sustain urban forests into the future.

Pat Murphy Cs For May 2009 Presentations Apr 29
The document summarizes Plan C - Community Solutions for housing, transportation, and food presented by Pat Murphy. It advocates for curtailing consumption through community-based solutions like:
1) Deep home energy retrofits like the Passive House model to reduce housing energy use by 80%.
2) Transitioning from private car ownership to a "Smart Jitney" shared transit system using existing vehicles to cut transportation energy 75-80%.
3) Changing diets to eliminate industrially produced animal products and eating locally to reduce food energy use by 90%.
Waste (Not)

Countries like Canada have very high per capita carbon emissions and waste. The document proposes several solutions like implementing carbon pricing, making buildings and energy use more efficient through smart technology, green credits programs, and offsetting remaining emissions through large scale projects.
USA BPPA presentation 07
The biomass power industry in California is facing decline, with 14 idle plants and 117 MW of lost capacity in recent years. Biomass generation is more expensive than other renewables due to high fuel collection, transport, and handling costs. While the state has tried various policies to support the industry, such as fuel grants and a trash bill surcharge, most have not been effective long-term solutions. A new 2006 state policy aims to make biomass constitute 20% of the renewable portfolio standard but implementation is uncertain. The future of the industry depends on factors like how this new policy is implemented, the price biomass generators are paid, fuel availability, and continuation of existing subsidies.

Global Recycling
The document discusses the history and importance of recycling. It notes that in 2001, the U.S. created 409 million tons of waste and by 2008 Americans generated about 250 million tons of trash annually, recycling 83 million tons. Recycling saves energy and natural resources compared to producing goods from raw materials. Common recycled materials include glass, paper, metals and plastics. The recycling movement grew out of the Great Depression and WWII to prevent waste. While recycling has environmental benefits, it does have some costs and does not eliminate all pollution.

Changing the Payment Model: Pay-as-You-Throw and Financial Efficiency
Changing the Payment Model: Pay-as-You-Throw and Financial Efficiency discusses moving away from flat fee payment models for waste disposal to a pay-as-you-throw (PAYT) model where residents pay based on how much waste they generate. Under the current flat fee model, waste disposal costs are not priced effectively and create inefficiencies. PAYT programs have been shown to significantly reduce household waste and increase recycling by as much as 50% while also lowering collection and disposal costs for municipalities. Bag-based PAYT programs, where residents pay per bag of trash, are identified as the most effective PAYT approach.
How to Talk About Pay-as-You-Throw
The document discusses how to communicate about pay-as-you-throw (PAYT) programs to residents. It emphasizes that clear communication and education are needed to overcome political challenges. It provides tips for explaining the benefits of PAYT, including financial savings for households, operational efficiencies, environmental impacts, and ease of use. Comprehensive outreach both before and after implementing PAYT is important to gain support and answer questions. The goal is to help communities explain PAYT in a way that residents understand and support.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UP
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems
9
Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.
