The Circular Economy aims to create continuous loops of materials to address issues with the current linear "take-make-waste" economy. In the Circular Economy, resources are kept in use for as long as possible through measures like reuse, repair, refurbishment and recycling. This contrasts with the linear economy which uses a one-way flow of raw materials into products that are then discarded as waste. The Circular Economy is based on the Cradle to Cradle philosophy of keeping materials in continuous loops, either as biological or technical nutrients. Key reports from the Ellen MacArthur Foundation provide analysis of the economics and opportunities of transitioning to a Circular Economy.

L’émergence d’un nouveau monde Arabe par Elza Maalouf
A ce moment de l’histoire où une nouvelle Renaissance jaillit organiquement de l’ombre des dictatures et qu’un processus d’auto-détermination a débuté, l’aspiration évolutive que connait le monde Arabe est à la recherche d’une feuille de route capable de faire émerger une forme naturelle de démocratie. La futurologue libano-américaine Elza Maalouf nous dira comment, selon elle, des démocraties naissantes peuvent créer, à partir de leurs intelligences autochtones, une nouvelle conscience qui combine les aspirations nationalistes, religieuses, éducatives et économiques, en un modèle de système ouvert. Et comment ce modèle peut contribuer à une émergence globale, tout en s’adaptant en permanence à l’évolution du système de valeurs de sa propre culture.

Safety is also a concern, as events like Chernobyl demonstrate the dangers of nuclear power accidents. The document claims that nuclear energy is not as clean or sustainable an energy source as often portrayed.
This document summarizes several emerging energy technologies that could help reduce carbon emissions, including wireless power transmission using Tesla's designs, gyroscopic propulsion for satellites, piezoelectric road generators, long-life betavoltaic batteries, laser-driven transmutation of nuclear waste, atmospheric electrostatic motors, biomass gasification, and electron charge clustering. It discusses the promising aspects of these technologies but notes that the U.S. Department of Energy has been slow to support development of future energy options.
Nuclear energy has key advantages over other alternative energy sources as it is reliable, clean, and cheap to operate without diminishing food supply. Nuclear power works by splitting uranium isotopes to release energy in the form of mass according to Einstein's equation E=mc2. Investing in nuclear power in the Philippines could help address upcoming power shortages and lower electricity costs significantly from the current 5 PHP/kWh to 2 PHP/kWh by refurbishing existing nuclear plants. Nuclear power also promotes scientific development and is resistant to corruption due to infrequent refueling needs.

This document provides information about solar energy and a quiz to test solar knowledge. It discusses how solar energy is the most abundant energy source on Earth, with enough sunlight hitting the surface in 1.5 hours to power the world's electricity for a year. It also discusses the growth of solar power in the US, with more solar capacity added than natural gas in 2015. The quiz questions cover topics like which state generated the most solar power in 2014 (California), what photovoltaic systems do (convert light to electricity), and which concentrating solar power technology uses mirrors to reflect sunlight onto receivers (parabolic troughs).
Abstract
Introduction
Body
Tyler
Tyler (Wind Energy)
One form of alternative energy is wind energy. Just as it sounds, the wind formed from
the uneven heating of the surface of the earth. Energy from wind as actually been harnessed for
millennia as it was used for sailing large ships in the exploration of the world, windmills used for
various applications, and today we are beginning to use wind for electrical generation. One must
look at the advantages, disadvantages, environmental impacts, and the community’s perception
to see if this technology is worthwhile in our search for alternative energy.
Wind energy is collected on the individual and large-scale levels. Typically, the
homeowner, farmer, or small business complements their use of energy from the grid with the
use of wind energy. A great example of this is City Bus in Lafayette, Indiana. According to
Northern Power Systems, since the installation in July 2011, the windmills at City Bus have
generated 679,292 kilowatt hours which translates to 52,253 gallons of diesel saved or 991,766
miles driven by cars (City Bus, 2011). Also according to Northern Power Systems, City Bus has
saved 1,060,714 pounds of carbon dioxide waste. It seems that these windmills are doing an
effective job of supplementing City Bus’s use of energy.
Consumption of wind energy is much different at the large scale level though. According
to the Institute for Energy Research, only 4.4% of electrical generation in the U.S. is wind
energy (Wind – IER, 2015). So why is wind energy such a small part of electrical generation in
the United States? According to the slide set from EAPS 375 on July 29, 2015, only about a
third of the continental United States has sustainable land for wind energy (Ballotti, 2015). The
land that appears usable is the Great Plains region (central continental U.S.), places throughout
the Appalachian Mountains, and the shorelines of both the East Coast and West Coast.
Considering that electrical generation from wind is a fairly new technology, 4.4% of total
electrical generation seems to be correct.
The place of wind energy for electrical generation in the United States is much debated
though. Some advocates place wind energy at the top of the list, as it is truly renewable. Wind
will never stop as there will always be an uneven heating of the Earth’s surface. Unfortunately
the power that wind has is not concentrated, so harnessing that energy is a difficult task. The
most used technology today is the conventional wind turbine, a large white (typically) tower with
three large blades that spin a generator which produces electricity and is then sent down the
tower into the electrical grid (Ballotti, 2015). There are many other technologies that are around,
most are in the developmental stages though. According to the American Wind Energy
Association, there are over 49,000 windmills in the United States which represent around
67,870 megawa.

09 0214 NO To BNPP Bataan Dr. Kelvin Rodolfogtapang
The document discusses several risks and issues associated with nuclear power and reopening the Bataan Nuclear Power Plant (BNPP) in the Philippines. It notes that BNPP is located on an active volcano, Mount Natib, which last erupted 11,000-18,000 years ago. It also discusses the seismic risks, with faulting occurring as recently as 3,000 years ago. The document questions claims that reopening BNPP would only cost $800 million and take 5 years, as the plant would need extensive modernization and safety assessments given its age.
Kevin O'Donnell presentation on buildings and energy from the Wise Power Use ...Sherri Akers
This document appears to be a presentation on buildings and energy given by Kevin Foster O'Donnell on November 3, 2010. It discusses topics like the history of population growth and its effects on energy usage, fossil fuel consumption over time, climate change impacts, and opportunities for reducing energy usage in buildings. Several key statistics are presented, such as buildings accounting for 48% of US carbon emissions and 61% of residential energy usage going towards heating, cooling, water heating and other systems.
The document discusses water usage and distribution on Earth. Some key points include:
- Only 3% of the world's water is fresh water, and less than 1% of all water is readily accessible for human use.
- California's water usage is discussed in detail, including sources of supply for Los Angeles and agricultural water usage statewide.
- Agricultural water usage is examined globally, with some crops requiring over 15,000 liters of water per kilogram produced.
The document summarizes a session attended at the MiaGreen conference. The scheduled speakers for a session on recycling business models were absent, so the attendee moved to a session on high-performing buildings presented by Noah Eckhouse. Noah outlined five "canons" or principles for achieving energy efficient buildings: be wary of misleading claims, hard work is required not shortcuts, consider obvious factors, learn from others' mistakes, and use professional tools. Noah then demonstrated using modeling software to simulate retrofits on a sample building, finding that some common solutions like central HVAC were not as effective as improved windows or chilled beams. The modeling allowed evaluating different options without actual construction costs.

This document discusses how buildings contribute significantly to climate change through their energy usage and waste. It notes that buildings account for 48% of US carbon dioxide emissions and consume over 25% of total US energy. Commercial buildings alone use more energy than entire US states. The document advocates for more sustainable "ECOLogic" building design that considers embodied energy, resource protection, and connection to community to reduce environmental impacts.
The document discusses the connection between buildings and climate change. It notes that buildings account for 48% of carbon dioxide emissions in the US and consume over 70% of electricity.

This document provides an overview of wound healing, its functions, stages, mechanisms, factors affecting it, and complications.
A wound is a break in the integrity of the skin or tissues, which may be associated with disruption of the structure and function.
Healing is the body’s response to injury in an attempt to restore normal structure and functions.
Healing can occur in two ways: Regeneration and Repair
There are 4 phases of wound healing: hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling. This document also describes the mechanism of wound healing. Factors that affect healing include infection, uncontrolled diabetes, poor nutrition, age, anemia, the presence of foreign bodies, etc.
Complications of wound healing like infection, hyperpigmentation of scar, contractures, and keloid formation.
