The document discusses the role of teachers in sustainable development. It notes that sustainable development aims to meet present needs without compromising future generations' ability to meet their own needs. It emphasizes that people need to be equipped with knowledge, skills, values and attitudes to manage their own development. Teachers have a crucial role in educating youth and passing on these qualities to help ensure long-term sustainable development. The document also discusses some of the challenges India faces related to population growth, resource depletion, and climate change that threaten sustainability.
In a climate of economic growth and faced with an increasingly voracious global appetite for natural resources like coal, palm oil, pulp and timber, how can the trees of Kalimantan survive?
NHS Sustainability Day 2015 - Gloucester Road Show4 All of Us
March 26th 2015 , NHS Sustainability day is one day in a sustained campaign, yet it provides a focus for organisations to participate on that day in initiating or continuing progress on achieving better sustainability practice. It has now attracted senior level endorsement within the NHS and from the Prime Minister.
The campaign of regional road-shows gives health-workers across the country the chance to participate in networking, learning about best practice and innovative ideas. The national awards scheme recognises and publicises this achievement. The tools and case studies contained within this website will provide you access to proven technologies, methods and projects that have yielded great results.
And remember all change starts with a single action.

The City of Asheville, North Carolina took on a challenging goal to reduce its greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from City operations and services by 2% per year from 2007 levels until an 80% reduction is achieved. To achieve its goal, the City developed an Asheville Sustainability Management Plan (SMP). In 2008, the City’s fleet and employee commute were responsible for nearly a third of the City’s greenhouse gases. One key component to improving the sustainability in the City’s transportation sector is to go green. Asheville’s green transportation strategy is a comprehensive plan that focuses on reducing vehicle miles traveled and fuel consumption as well as encouraging an increase in public transportation use. The sustainable vision of Asheville and its goal to reduce greenhouse gases will conserve energy and improve the environment. Techniques employed and planned are transferrable to any municipality.

"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.
UNDERSTANDING WHAT GREEN WASHING IS!.pdfJulietMogola
Many companies today use green washing to lure the public into thinking they are conserving the environment but in real sense they are doing more harm. There have been such several cases from very big companies here in Kenya and also globally. This ranges from various sectors from manufacturing and goes to consumer products. Educating people on greenwashing will enable people to make better choices based on their analysis and not on what they see on marketing sites.

101. This is a very novel way of re-capturing
some of the energy
expended by vehicles moving at
high speeds on our nations
highways which is being
proposed by an Arizona State
University. Knowingly, air
turbulence is generated by
vehicles moving at speed
particularly trucks and the
proposal would involve mounting
horizontal wind turbines above
the roadway that would be driven
by the moving air generated by
the passing traffic. The
electricity generated by spinning
these turbines could be fed back
into the grid. Analysis indicate
that based on vehicle speeds of
70 mph each turbine could
produce 9,600 kWh per year.

102. The M.A.R.S. (Magenn Power
Air Rotor System) is an
interesting device that is
capable of harnessing the
power of the wind to generate
electricity, sending that power
down a 330 meter tether rope
for consumption. Since the
M.A.R.S. is filled with helium, it
is capable of flying much
higher than other wind turbines
in order to gain access to
higher wind speeds. The 4.0
kW unit will enter production
this year.

for the first time.
The three 29m-diameter
turbine blades on Bahrain’s
iconic landmark are the first
in the world to be integrated
on such a scale into a
commercial development and
are forecast to provide the
equivalent of 11-15% of the
power for the two towers
when fully operational.
