In recognition of Earth Day, Acxiom analyzed 1.4 million individuals, approximately 1% of its vast data repository, to gauge environmental consciousness and understand how people participate in endeavors to go green.
The Climate Institute has been conducting our annual Climate of the Nation attitudinal research since 2007. It is the longest continuous survey of community attitudes about climate change. We have charted the views of Australians about matters relating to climate change and energy policy, through the ups and downs of changing weather patterns, related natural disasters and the waxing and waning of the political landscape.
This presentation summarises this year's research, conducted by polling over 2,000 people across the country, as well as holding focus groups in Brisbane, Melbourne and Newcastle, which once again benchmarks the views of everyday Australians on these key issues. We compare and contrast them to the findings over these past years.
Are Australians climate dinosaurs? Climate of the Nation 2014, benchmarking Australian attitudes to climate change, finds that political leaders risk being stuck in the past as public attitudes on climate change and its solutions are on the rebound. In mid-2014, more Australians think that climate change is occurring and are concerned about impacts, present and future. There is a rebound in desire to see the nation lead on finding solutions and a strong expectation of government to address the climate challenge. Opposition to carbon pricing has continued to decline and there is a decline in the minority supporting repeal. For the first time more support carbon pricing than oppose it, even though there is lingering confusion around it.

Since 2007, The Climate Institute has produced Climate of the Nation research capturing the nation's pulse on attitudes to climate change. This year's results show an increasing awareness and concern about the impacts of climate change and the country’s future energy mix amid the intensifying political debate.
More Australians trust the science that says climate change is caused by human activities.
The findings provide a critical opportunity for the Abbott government to better reflect public sentiment on climate change in its upcoming announcement on Australia’s post-2020 carbon pollution reduction target. More think that "the Abbott government should take climate change more seriously” and there is a strong expectation for government to regulate carbon pollution, move to phase out aging coal power stations, and invest in renewable energy.

Renewable energy sectors can be classified according to the principal economic activity and the use of technology – heating and electricity. It is also possible to make a distinction between renewable energy sources, such as solar, wind and hydro. Progress has been made in recent decades to raise the level of gender equality but women are still much less likely to have access or control over productive and natural
resources and have less access to modern technologies or financial services and receive poorer education, training, and technical advice.

Presented by Kathy Hecht, VP Marketing at Digiday Brand Summit Dec 4, 2012.
Joint research conducted by Digiday and Acxiom reveal that while marketers want to use data to provide customer-centric experiences, they struggle to make sense of the vast information flowing into their marketing processes while juggling new channels, response options and meeting consumer expectations. Best practices for the use of marketable data often shift from behavior and intent to third-party search and social. While they realize they must find the data connections that maximize the value of customer relationships, their aspirations are often misaligned with organizations’ overall strategy. Nonetheless, they must prepare to connect customer data toward better experiences and results while maintaining the proper balance between consumer privacy and marketing profitability.
Webinar: Waste Incineration: A Dirty Secret in How States Define Renewable En...Marie Donahue
The Institute for Local Self-Reliance invited local officials, communities fighting waste incinerators, and both clean energy and waste management advocates, to join a webinar exploring our latest report on the economic and environmental impacts of power-generating waste incinerators.
The webinar –– which was hosted on Wednesday, January 9th at 1:00PM CST –– covered incineration as an issue connecting waste management and energy sectors, drawing from ILSR's Energy Democracy, Waste to Wealth, and Composting for Community Initiatives. The session dug into the implications of classifying this process as “renewable" and outlined ways to combat this aging, dirty industry and alternative strategies to support more equitable, economic, and sustainable local solutions in both the waste and energy sectors.
Presenters:
Marie Donahue, research associate with Institute for Local Self-Reliance's Energy Democracy Initiative, presented the results of the team's December report, Waste Incineration: A Dirty Secret in How States Define Renewable Energy.
In addition, Donahue was joined by allies Aiko Fukuchi from GAIA, a worldwide alliance whose ultimate vision is a just, toxic-free world without incineration, and Mike Ewall, Founder and Executive Director of the Energy Justice Network, a national support network for grassroots community groups fighting dirty energy and waste industry facilities. These two speakers provided additional perspective and on-the-ground strategies communities can use to fight dirty incinerators.

Can vs Should and Why it Matters in Data-Driven MarketingAcxiom Corporation
Marketers have never had a greater opportunity to identify their audiences and accurately reach them across channels and platforms – but with this power comes great responsibility. Will they deliver truly contextual and meaningful engagement or cross a line of what's considered as the acceptable and ethical use of consumer data? What are the business opportunities or consequences?
The phrase "people-based marketing" is recent, coined only four years ago. But its goal of reaching the right consumer with the right offer, because you understand that person, goes way, way back. This timeline shows the evolution of people-based advertising from its origins in one-to-one marketing, to the present day.

Today's empowered consumer has virtually unlimited choice and information, creating new engagement patterns. While industry observers agree new strategies are needed, few define the "what" and "how." In this case-study-based discussion, we'll examine the most fundamental element in successful consumer marketing — multidimensional insight. Beyond the overwhelming flow of big data or the narrow focus of today's targeting options, examine how your brand insights can be the genesis to focus on the consumer, not the channel or campaign.

Winning in the Age of the Empowered Consumer - Forrester Consumer Forum '11 (...Acxiom Corporation
Today’s empowered consumer represents an interesting paradox – there have never been more ways to reach them, yet it’s never been harder to truly engage. Consumers choose when, where, how and if they participate with brands. Winning in this era requires cultivation and control of multiple dimensions of consumer insight. This requires brands to refine data into insight, and insight into highly engaging marketing and advertising that wins the hearts and wallets of today’s empowered consumer. Come learn how others are winning this challenge.
The vision of advertising driven by savvy “experts” and their big ideas appears as a romantic memory. Increased consumer expectations, forged in yesterday’s mass media world, eclipse the capacity to artfully deliver results. The digitally connected world we find ourselves in brings new media, communications channels, and technology . . . to embrace, not to fear.
Join this engaging conversation to examine how trends in consumer expectations are increasingly matched to trends in media and technology innovation. Culminating in a case study presented by Nick Primola, SVP Citizens Bank, we examine how mathematics and technology are leveraged to define situational success as customers experience the brand, rather than situation comedy.

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.

"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.
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.

20. How We Measure Up
Overall?
Individuals and businesses in the US
are doing their part across various
clean energy initiatives.
The numbers speak to how
we are all in this together.
22. According to the Solar Energies Industry Association (SEIA):
Home and Business Commitments
to Solar Energy
The solar energy installed on US
corporations and businesses is enough
to power 193,000 homes (approx. 2% of
installed solar power)
The US currently has 42.4
gigawatts of solar installed –
enough to power 8.3 million
homes
One million solar installations
are residential (approx. 12% of
installed solar power)
A 2016 Pew Research Center study found that 87% of homeowners would consider solar to help the
environment versus 60% who would consider it for the solar tax credit.

24. According to Resource Recycling, households generate about
871 pounds of recyclables each year.
Residential Recycling: Still Making
Strides
Only 44% of single family
homes have a recycling cart
for curbside pick-up
Only about 357 pounds of
recyclables are recovered
each year through curb side
recycling programs (41% of
recycling potential)
Carts brought in over 100
more pounds of
recyclable materials than
bins
The EPA found that 42% of 3,360 megatons of generated electronics were recycled in 2014, up 4
percentage points from the previous year.
Recyclable collections for
multifamily homes is
underserved, with little
consistency in its
collections
25. From the individual who recycles to the corporations that re-engineer their plants
and office buildings with solar technologies, it is apparent that our environmental
consciousness has been transformed into action in recent decades.
Americans’ efforts to go green are multi-dimensional and span a range of
demographic groups. Even across regions, we demonstrate in our attitudes,
willingness to take on leadership roles, sensibilities around green energy
technologies, and embrace of ridesharing services, the commitment to improve the
environment and leave it in better shape for the generations that follow. Here’s to
hoping we keep moving forward in this endeavor. Go Green!

I think the education and income stats are high for this. I wonder about the degree of sample bias here and/or the level of candor of the respondents. We should probably not include these in our final draft.

There has been an exponential growth in the sale of electric cars, and correspondingly an increased prevalence in the number of charging stations. Even if the 2012 growth rate in charging stations can be considered anomalous, the rate of growth has slowed since 2013. This could suggest that people were concerned about the lack of access to charging pumps. The 2016 uptick could be auto manufacturers’ and service station owners’ efforts to quell these concerns. Unfortunately, the 2016 vehicle sales numbers are not yet available to check consumers’ response to the expansion of charging stations.
While recycling has come a long way over the last few decades, we still recycle less than half of the recyclable material we generate. This is still a work in progress.
