The Detroit trash incinerator is the symbol of environmental racism in the heart of the Great Lakes. It was conceived in the 1970s, paid for, designed and constructed in the 1980s, and has been operating ever since (with brief interruptions) at the rate of about 800,000 tons of trash per year, in an African-American community that is plagued by poverty, asthma and many other public health crises, unnecessarily generating nightmarish quantities of mercury, dioxins, heavy metals, particulates and other airborne toxics and odors that ultimately sink into the Great Lakes waters. This workshop will tell the story of the Detroit Trash Incinerator and explore the interrelated questions of race, class, economic development, political decision making and ecological sustainability, as they relate to the precious inland fresh water seas that have always served as the basis for human settlements in the region.

Youth Driven Waste Disposal/Recycling Campaign: San Estanislao, ParaguayBrienne Thomson
As a Peace Corps Paraguay volunteer, I ignited the idea for the waste/recycling awareness campaign with the local youth group I work with, Rotaract, a subsidiary of Rotary International for 18 to 30-year-olds. It began with an Asunción-based NGO, Ita Enramada, coming out to San Estanislao to speak about the importance of minding our environment and the tragic impact that the lack of information or recycling programs has had on it. The culmination of the campaign was two-fold. First, we held a competition between the high-schools to design a trashcan to be installed in a popular community park with a message about proper waste disposal or caring for our environment. Second, of the seven local high-schools competing, each was assigned a material from plastic to rubber to cloth, etcetera, to design saleable recycled crafts at a “Feria de Tesoros Reciclados” for a public street fair. Overall, I have never seen such creativity and assertiveness among the youth of my community. I was sincerely proud of everyone involved in organizing and participating in this campaign that I left wondering how I’ll ship all of my new handicrafts back to the States!

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

Training for Transition
Building Resilient Communities for a Post-Carbon World
Friday, Oct. 23rd & Sunday, Oct. 25th from 9:30 - 5:30 pm
with a special free, open-to-the-public Energy Decent Planning Session Oct. 23rd, 6 to 9pm
Monterey Bay Area Location -26435 Carmel Rancho Blvd, Carmel, CA 93924
$135 before October 1st • $155 after October 1st
The Transition movement is a set of inspiring ideas for creating an attractive and enticing vision of
how our communities could be. The converging crises of climate change and oil depletion and
economic instability cannot be solved separately, and they cannot be solved with technological
miracles, but only by lessening our dependence on fossil fuels. This doesn’t mean a bleaker future.
The heart of transition is the belief that if we engage with enough imagination and ingenuity to
unlock the collective genius of our communities, we can choose a future that is more satisfying, just
and sustainable than what we have now.
Participants in the training will:
·explore the opportunities for personal and social transformation presented by the challenges of
peak oil, climate change and economic instability
·learn the key concepts of the Transition model, including how to set up and foster successful
Transition groups., Permaculture principles and community visioning
·understand how to raise awareness of the need for transition through public talks and events
·form contacts with other change leaders in your local area
·establish a plan of action for yourself and your community
