  15. Best #GreenCities: 12 Greenest Cities In The World And Why - #UnityEnvironmentalUniversity (formerly #UnityCollege)

    March 6, 2024

    "What Makes A City Green?

    "What are green cities? A green city is a city that actively works to foster the health and #WellBeing of its people and the #NaturalEnvironment. Often, we look at government policies, community practices, and infrastructure to determine whether a city is 'green' or not.

    "However, the greenness of a city actually exists on a spectrum and is multi-faceted. There is no such thing as the greenest city. The greenest cities in the world are those that are doing more to be sustainable when compared to other cities. The greenness of a city includes the following factors and more:

    - The availability of #GreenSpaces
    - #PublicTransportation options
    - #Bikeability
    - #RenewableEnergy options
    - #CarbonFootprint
    - #Recycling programs

    "What Makes A University Green?

    "An #EcoFriendly city and an eco-friendly university have a lot in common, including #sustainable buildings, #CommunityFarms and #gardens, and #EthicallySourced goods. For Unity Environmental University, an essential part of going green was completely divesting from #FossilFuels and investing in renewable clean energy instead. Ultimately, being a green university is about prioritizing sustainability as a core value and guiding principle for the institution.

    "12 Greenest Cities In The World

    "#Urban areas around the world are striving to become more environmentally friendly as we continue to grapple with the negative effects of climate change. Many of the world’s greenest cities focus on mitigating those effects by minimizing their carbon footprint, shifting to renewable sources for energy, and improving public transportation. Other cities are taking innovative approaches to integrating green spaces and urban farming.

    "This list of the top 12 greenest cities is the result of a holistic review of the most environmentally friendly urban areas in the world. They are not listed in any particular order."

  16. Digesting Food Studies (the CFS podcast)—Episode 109: Food Waste

    Repurposing leftover Hallowe’en candy as farm animal fodder? It may sound wild, but as you’ll hear in this #podcast, it’s just one odd recommendation within the complex hierarchies of dealing with food waste…

    rss.com/podcasts/digesting-foo

    This episode tackles food waste, an issue as old as #domestication. Food scholar Tammara Soma shares perspectives from “Critical food guidance for tackling food waste in Canada” (Vol. 9 No. 1 of Canadian Food Studies), and PhD student Dante Gbejewoh offers his response to the piece, encouraging listeners to leverage the article’s diagram about #closed-loop #foodsystems. Alexia Moyer sneaks us back to a long-titled #historical #cookbook on household management, including its implications for #gendered labour.

  17. Yale Engineering: Turning to trees for sustainable photoluminescence. “Photoluminescent materials are essential for numerous modern technologies – displays, solar cells, optoelectronic devices and sensors among them. However, most photoluminescent materials in use today rely on toxic metals and non-renewable resources. Now a team of Yale researchers led by first author Ho-Yin (Leo) Tse, and […]

  22. Reading Time: < 1 minute

    I don’t like to go recycling for two reasons. I usually end my daily walk just at the time when the recycling centre opens during week days so I don’t want to go back and spend time that I could invest in other chores in something as relaxed as recycling. The second reason is that because traffic is bad I usually prefer not to be one of the cars driving down a narrow path when it is not urgent to do so.

    Luckily this blog post is not about that. It’s about how people will throw away old desktops and always remove the ram. It makes sense to remove hard drives because it’s not that hard to retrieve data from a disk that has been wiped just once, as we have seen recently with iphones and deleted photos.

    I am confused. People throw away ancient machines with ancient ram but for some reason they either feel the need to hoard the ram, or that’s the most interesting thing to take from old machines. RAM is easy to remove from a computer and take home. A desktop less so.

    I look out of curiousity, not necessity.

    Since switching from Windows to Ubuntu on my HP laptop I have been playing with Immich, Photoprism and attempting to install NextCloud. The beauty of using a proper laptop, rather than a Pi is that it’s much faster, and backing up is easy.

    If I found a desktop that required just a hard drive or two then I would gain plenty of freedom to experiment, and that is why finding a desktop at the recycling centre would be interesting.

    Researchers... in Sri Lanka have discovered species of #fungi that can break down #polyethylene—the same type of #plastic used for bags, bottles, cling wrap, takeout containers, and more."
