This document provides information about Kitakyushu, Japan. It summarizes Kitakyushu's history overcoming industrial pollution, its current focus on building a recycling-oriented society through initiatives like the Kitakyushu Eco-Town Project, and its international partnerships to share its environmental technologies and experience with other Asian cities. It also notes that in 2018, Kitakyushu was selected by the OECD as a model city for promoting the UN's Sustainable Development Goals due to its long history of pioneering environmental protection and sustainability efforts.
Eco-city is relatively recent concept. Many cities are interested to know how to go about . This presentation provides the process that was followed in the cities of Sangli-Miraj-Kupwad in State of Maharashtra, India for building an Action Plan. Unfortunately, the plan got only partially implemented due to paucity of funds. The model could set however an example for other cities to follow.

SUSTAINABLE PLASTIC WASTE MANAGEMENT- A CASE STUDY OF THANE MUNICIPAL CORPORA...ijiert bestjournal
Thane Municipal Corporation is located near to Mumbai City in M aharashtra State of India. Thane is growing rapidly since last few decades. The total area of Thane city is 128 Sq. Km. According to census 2011,total Population of city is 18.41 Lakhs and floating population is about 3 lakhs. The Solid Waste generation in the TMC area is around 650 MT per day. Out of which Plastic waste g eneration is about 60-70 MT per day. TMC don�t have any system for processing this plastic waste. This paper suggests a sustainable and one of the most emerging technologies of Plastic waste pyrolysis to TMC. Pl astic Waste Pyrolysis is an ideal technology which is eco-friendly as well as generates furnace oil,carbon and hydrocarbon gas as productive output.
Converting Plastic to Useful Energy Resourcesijtsrd
In India the grown of population and industries are very rapid in urban area and therefore plastic waste problem is generated. The characteristics of plastic waste depend on factors such as lifestyle, climate, tradition, food, habits etc. The problem of plastic is that it cannot be disposed which is harmful for environment .The other problem of plastic is that when it is being manufactured toxic gases are released which then create problem such as global warming &pollution. Present study aims at some sort of new technology which can control toxic gases and convert plastic waste into useful energy resource. This technology will bring employment opportunities and it may generate big amount of income.

0x01 - Newton's Third Law: Static vs. Dynamic AbusersOWASP Beja
f you offer a service on the web, odds are that someone will abuse it. Be it an API, a SaaS, a PaaS, or even a static website, someone somewhere will try to figure out a way to use it to their own needs. In this talk we'll compare measures that are effective against static attackers and how to battle a dynamic attacker who adapts to your counter-measures.
