The webinar covered staff engagement strategies for sustainability initiatives. It discussed why staff engagement is important for driving change and maintaining momentum. Some key engagement tactics included showing commitment from leadership, keeping staff informed through various communication channels, connecting initiatives to organizational values, forming green teams to represent different departments, running targeted campaigns with goals and incentives, celebrating successes, and making initiatives fun through connecting them to events and encouraging social aspects like volunteer activities. The webinar provided resources from Julie's Bicycle for further supporting environmental reporting and staff engagement efforts.

A reminder of the environmental reporting requirements including how to add new data to the IG Tools, plus a special focus on : Top tips on what you should be sharing with your stakeholders and how to do so effectively.
Rising energy costs and welfare cuts continue to put a strain on household budgets, with the worst affected being forced to choose between heating, eating or paying the rent.
Investment in physical improvements to homes have gone some way to helping households save energy. However there is growing recognition that the way people use their homes is a critical determinant of how much energy is actually saved.
But given many households may be under heating their homes, how best can we help residents to safely manage their use? And how can we reach many residents with limited resources?
This webinar will talk you through findings from the Count Us In project, and will cover:
• What works when helping residents change their behaviour
• The national smart meter roll out and how this could help
• How best to deliver effective engagement with limited resources
• The right messages to use with residents
• What help and resources are available to support you
• An opportunity to ask questions and share your experiences
Solving the Two-Sided Challenge of "Going Beyond the Check"VolunteerMatch
CSR leaders and nonprofit staff alike are wrestling with the movement in corporate philanthropy to “go beyond the check.” CSR staff grapple with the need to create authentic impact through volunteerism without disrupting workplace priorities, while nonprofits that don’t rely directly on volunteers to fulfill their mission battle for funding in a corporate arena leaning hard on employee engagement.
Whether you’re on the for-profit or nonprofit side of the equation, finding practical ways to repeatedly engage volunteers is key in building successful corporate partnerships in the current market. Learn how Salesforce and Playworks arrived at a replicable solution to this set of dilemmas, built on mission alignment on both sides.

Arts Council England 2015/16 Programme: Sustainable Collections ManagementJulie's Bicycle
Museums are important stewards of our past, present and future material and immaterial culture. Through collections we connect with and learn from our past, and reflect on our present and future. Museum collections hold a collective memory of change, evolution, innovation and creativity, and because of this, they have a potentially pivotal role in curating space for us to engage with global issues in a local context, develop our thinking, and become more resilient to change.
They way we manage collections also needs to be mindful of changing environmental and social needs, and acting on this can also positively influence financial sustainability and relevance to audiences and the wider community. As the public awareness of environmental sustainability increases, people are looking to public institutions for leadership.

"Understanding the Carbon Cycle: Processes, Human Impacts, and Strategies for...MMariSelvam4
The carbon cycle is a critical component of Earth's environmental system, governing the movement and transformation of carbon through various reservoirs, including the atmosphere, oceans, soil, and living organisms. This complex cycle involves several key processes such as photosynthesis, respiration, decomposition, and carbon sequestration, each contributing to the regulation of carbon levels on the planet.
Human activities, particularly fossil fuel combustion and deforestation, have significantly altered the natural carbon cycle, leading to increased atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations and driving climate change. Understanding the intricacies of the carbon cycle is essential for assessing the impacts of these changes and developing effective mitigation strategies.
By studying the carbon cycle, scientists can identify carbon sources and sinks, measure carbon fluxes, and predict future trends. This knowledge is crucial for crafting policies aimed at reducing carbon emissions, enhancing carbon storage, and promoting sustainable practices. The carbon cycle's interplay with climate systems, ecosystems, and human activities underscores its importance in maintaining a stable and healthy planet.
In-depth exploration of the carbon cycle reveals the delicate balance required to sustain life and the urgent need to address anthropogenic influences. Through research, education, and policy, we can work towards restoring equilibrium in the carbon cycle and ensuring a sustainable future for generations to come.
WRI’s brand new “Food Service Playbook for Promoting Sustainable Food Choices” gives food service operators the very latest strategies for creating dining environments that empower consumers to choose sustainable, plant-rich dishes. This research builds off our first guide for food service, now with industry experience and insights from nearly 350 academic trials.

Characterization and the Kinetics of drying at the drying oven and with micro...Open Access Research Paper
The objective of this work is to contribute to valorization de Nephelium lappaceum by the characterization of kinetics of drying of seeds of Nephelium lappaceum. The seeds were dehydrated until a constant mass respectively in a drying oven and a microwawe oven. The temperatures and the powers of drying are respectively: 50, 60 and 70°C and 140, 280 and 420 W. The results show that the curves of drying of seeds of Nephelium lappaceum do not present a phase of constant kinetics. The coefficients of diffusion vary between 2.09.10-8 to 2.98. 10-8m-2/s in the interval of 50°C at 70°C and between 4.83×10-07 at 9.04×10-07 m-8/s for the powers going of 140 W with 420 W the relation between Arrhenius and a value of energy of activation of 16.49 kJ. mol-1 expressed the effect of the temperature on effective diffusivity.

15. Why?
• Staff behaviour is powerful
• 3rd of energy savings in UK carbon budgets can come from
individuals taking action (UK Energy research centre)
• Engaged employees try 50% harder, 20% better and 80%
less likely to leave an organisation
• Change is very ineffective without staff engagement
• Can cause unnecessary tensions
• Not making the most of successes
• Some of the best ideas come from staff engagement
• Obvious benefits around organisation reputation
17. Showing commitment is
important….
• Its important that your policy is signed off from the top
of the organisation
– It gives people a mandate to act on
– Important for leadership too
– Staff understand how their actions fit into wider
strategy
– Gives space for people to act and give ideas
• Through policies and certifications
18. Keep people in the loop…
• Really important to keep people up to date with
changes
– Agenda item on team meetings
– Green updates or inclusion on staff newsletter
– Give people a forum to discuss ideas
– Training where ever necessary
– Join up with other local organisations, or piggy-
bag existing networks
20. • People might get involved in an energy saving campaign for
different reasons. E.g. an enhanced company reputations,
financial savings, tips to use at home, opportunity to support a
charity through savings achieved, the social aspect of getting to
know other members of staff
• Be positive about the difference you can make, so that people
believe that change can be meaningful and effective
– Simply spelling out the facts of negative environmental
impacts and climate change, even if they seem compelling,
are not always effective
– Make the link between environmental issues at work, global
issues and people’s home and personal life
– If you put a campaign in place, please make sure you will be
able to monitor the impact of people’s actions in increasing
recycling and communicating this
21. Green teams
• Conduct a staff environmental survey to understand
who will be interested in engaging with environmental
sustainability
• Good to get representatives from across the
organisation
• Identify any funds that you can use for the green
team
• Can be used as social occasions too – e.g. lunch
clubs, might want to also consider volunteering too
22. Engaging
• Catalyst effect
• Key behaviours that may lead to the adoption of other
behaviours with a similar underlying ideology
• E.g. micro-generation
• Halo effect
• Giving public praise and enthusiasm to an employee is
likely to encourage them to do more in future
• Virtuous Escalator
• Get people to make any step, no matter how small
• Social norms
• Proven time and time again to be
23. Campaigns
• Chose your focus area
• Consider any resource requirements e.g. posters, prizes to
incentivise staff participation
• Create an easily identifiable brand for your campaign e.g.
SwitchOff and create associated promotional materials
• Create a realistic goal e.g. reducing elec by 10%
• Communicate goal and baseline
• Provide simple actions and instructions for staff in order to
achieve goal
• Provide incentives for involvement e.g. prizes, professional
recognition
• Think holistically: For example if you do a campaign on cycling
to work, raise awareness on transport impacts and organise a
bike repair workshop
24. Celebrate success!
• Evaluate and measure where-ever possible
• Measuring and monitoring will ensure that you’re in a
strong position to communicate internally and
externally about successes
• Always refer back to your audience to understand
how to communicate on this success (Carbon, Money
etc.)
• Think of ways this can be communicated
25. Make it fun
• Connect with national and international
environmental days. E.g. Earth Hour, or Walk to
Work week
• Help people connect with volunteering
• Volunteering, gardening. Fits into wider staff well-
being too
• Educational, create conversations
• Social aspect e.g. Lunch clubs?
29. Any questions?
• Reporting deadline 30th May 2014
• Allow 4 – 6 weeks for reporting cycle
to take place within
