Sabbath, Psalms and Eucharist: Christopher Southgate considers Christian perspectives on the climate emergency
No full textThis is the author accepted manuscript. The final version is available from Green Christian via the URL in this record In this brief article I want to explore what resources Christian thought might offer the
climate emergency, and those challenged by the slowness with which the generation
with the power (my own) are addressing the huge challenges that are ever more
evidently unfolding on our planet
Increasing Distributed Generation Penetration using Soft Normally-Open Points
No full textThis paper considers the effects of various voltage control solutions on facilitating an increase in allowable levels of distributed generation installation before voltage violations occur. In particular, the voltage control solution that is focused on is the implementation of `soft' normally-open points (SNOPs), a term which refers to power electronic devices installed in place of a normally-open point in a medium-voltage distribution network which allows for control of real and reactive power flows between each end point of its installation sites. While other benefits of SNOP installation are discussed, the intent of this paper is to determine whether SNOPs are a viable alternative to other voltage control strategies for this particular application. As such, the SNOPs ability to affect the voltage profile along feeders within a distribution system is focused on with other voltage control options used for comparative purposes. Results from studies on multiple network models with varying topologies are presented and a case study which considers economic benefits of increasing feasible DG penetration is also given
Metrics of green chemistry: Waste minimization
No full textThe increasingly apparent negative impact of human activities on the environment has heightened the urgency for the chemistry community to adopt greener and more sustainable practices. The E-factor can still be considered a valuable tool in this drive, particularly because of its broad acceptance and familiarity amongst both industrial and academic chemists. An important factor in broadening the adoption of green principles is ensuring that the academics responsible for training the next generation of chemists prioritise green and sustainable practices in their undergraduate and post graduate laboratories. Green metrics must be easy to use to motivate the broader chemistry community to develop greener syntheses. For maximum impact to be achieved the detail of the exact green metrics applied are less important than their adoption by the broader chemical community. Of growing importance is the replacement of fossil resources with renewable alternatives to reduce greenhouse gas emission that is a significant driver of climate change. The C factor is used to compare the carbon footprints of different routes to a particular product.Green Open Access added to TU Delft Institutional Repository 'You share, we take care!' - Taverne project https://www.openaccess.nl/en/you-share-we-take-care Otherwise as indicated in the copyright section: the publisher is the copyright holder of this work and the author uses the Dutch legislation to make this work public.BT/Biocatalysi

The value of Green Star: a decade of environmental benefits
No full textExecutive summary: Since the launch of the Green Star rating system in 2003, hundreds of buildings around Australia have been independently certified for their sustainable design and construction using Green Star rating tools.A large amount of evidence that illustrates the transformative effect of Green Star on sustainability at the individual building level has been collected to date. However before now, no comprehensive quantitative research has been conducted into the overall impact that Green Star has had on Australia\u27s built environment.In late 2012, the Green Building Council of Australia (GBCA) conducted a quantitative research study using data from certified projects to quantify the overall impact of Green Star on greenhouse gas emissions, operational energy usage, operational water consumption and construction and demolition waste.The study utilised data from 428 Green Star certified projects\u27 submissions and compared this data to standard minimum practice benchmarks. The majority of data included in Green Star submissions are estimations of operational performance. There is evidence that confirms such estimates are representative of actual performance. Despite this, it is important to note that many of this study\u27s findings are derived from estimated performance.KEY FINDINGSOn average, Green Star certified buildings produce 62% fewer greenhouse gas emissions than average Australian buildings.On average, Green Star certified buildings produce 45% fewer greenhouse gas emissions than if they had been built to meet minimum industry requirements.On average, Green Star certified buildings use 66% less electricity than average Australian buildings.On average, Green Star certified buildings use 50% less electricity than if they had been built to meet minimum industry requirements.On average, Green Star buildings use 51% less potable water than average buildings.The cumulative savings in green house gas emissions from Green Star certified buildings equates to 172,000 cars removed from our roads, when compared to average Australian building ␣ that is 625,000 tonnes CO2 per annum.Green Star certified buildings save enough potable water to fill more than 1,300 Olympic swimming pools every year, that is, over 3,300,000 kL per annum.On average, Green Star As Built certified buildings recycled 96% of their construction and demolition waste.Since Green Star\u27s introduction to the market in 2003, more than 5.5 million square metres of building area have been Green Star certified.Green Star certified buildings save the equivalent of 76,000 average households\u27 electricity use annually.37,600 truckloads of construction and demolition waste has been diverted from landfill due to good waste management practices when constructing Green Star certified buildings.The higher the Green Star certified rating of a building (4, 5 or 6 star) the greater the environmental savings across all key areas ␣ greenhouse gas emissions, energy use, water consumption, and construction and demolition waste
Letter from Grandma to Smith Green
No full textLetter from Mary Green to her grandson, Smith Green, giving updates.Broken Bow, Okla., Oct. 30th 1945 Dear Son: Rec'd your letter this morning. It took it a long time to come by air but it might have been down at the P.O. a day or two or until the spirit moved them to put it in the box. Grandpa is lying down now he lies down some part of every day, Didn't you write before I talked to you? Lucia has moved to a house in Bill Colliersfield Bill C lived just this side of dead mans corner, he 2 bought all that land on the west side of the highway and built a rock house. Lucia and the kids has been with us 3 weeks, but moved last friday. Will tell you more when you get home. If you don't come by Lois' and bring her with you.

Letter from Grandma to Smith Green
No full textLetter from Mary Green to her grandson, Smith Green, giving updates.So Bye, Bye until we soo you Love Grandma. Broken Bow, Okla. 11-30-1945 Dear Son: We got your letter a few days ago. Sure hope you will soon be able to come home. Had a letter from Lois this A.M. She said she was looking for you every day, now, so I guess she is ready to come with you whenever you get there. She said Florence and Louise were going to Houston today to meet John. Grandpa is some better but is looking for you every day. Two 2 letters have come for you and I will keep them until you get here. One is from Jack Bradley from Raiford Fla. and the other is from John Dean Philadelphia, Pa. I think it is the envelope is torn some. I thought if I sent them you might get here before they would get there. We sure hope you will get here by your birthday. Grandpa says that we will go back as far as Lois and stay there until you come back. I guess he will change his mind though. you know how he is about home. 3 It is not cold here now cool enough to have fire though. We have had some nice weather with big frosts Grandpa manages to go to the P.O. twice a day looking for letters. WE hadn't had a letter from Lois for a while and he worried about that and if we don't get one from you when he thinks we should. Why he worries about that. I don't write to Virginia because I know she will hear from us in your letters and I am a poor correspondent anyway. Will be glad to see over 4 Doris and her children. Lucia was here yesterday. Since they moved she comes one day every wk. Henry C. and Joe have to bring their lunch now, so they have dinner with us that day. Pete is working away from home now. He works on the highway here and there and yonder, a lot of the boys from in and around B.B. are coming home now. Hurry up and come home we are so anxious to see you. Grandpa said he knew you would be starved almost to death. I have to send this off this P.M. and it is now 3:30 W.M. Green, Box 426 Broken Bow, Okla. Smith L. Green 45 Jersey St. San Francisco Cal
Letter from Smith Green to grandma and grandpa
No full textLetter from Smith Green to his grandparents, William and Mary Green (October 23, 1936).1 Camp Bullis, Texas October 23, 1936 Dear Grandma and Grandpa, As this is Friday afternoon and I don't have to study much, I will answer your letter that I received about ten days. It was fairly warm up until yesterday but it looks as if that is all over now. It is cold and rainy; very uncomfortable. We don't have a fire so we sit around in overcoats and some drape blankets over themselves. These hills are rather dreary looking riht now. We are certainly stepping 2 on it now in our classes. We are taking American History at the rate of two chapters a day. Some days we have as much as 50 pages a day in English Literature besides reading one of Shakespeares plays. The other classes are just as bad. Virginia said Madge and her husband were visting at home now. Her husband got about 60 days furlough and they went to China, Japan, Phillipines etc. before they came home. You remember, he is in the Navy and stationed at Guam. Virginia said Madge certainly was looking good. 3 I certianly was glad to hear that Broken Bow was winning all the games. I wish you would send me all the clippings you could about the games. And anything else about the old home town for that matter. You can tell MR. Coggins that the war is over and everybody is satisfied. The Blue army finally won so our country is saved. You could tell him that your grandson is a veteran of the war too. I will probably come home Christmas. We have exams the second and third of December and school doesn't start again until 4 January. I will try to come home for about three weeks. I hope I can anyway. You can cook all your fryers then. I'm glad grandpa is taking flu shots so he won't have the flu again this winter. And I hope Uncle Cad gets better. I have been writing to Florence for a hwile. She is getting along all right. If you can get hold of John's address let me know. I would like to hear from him. Tell everybody hello for me. Take good care of yourself and don't let grandpa and Uncle Cad go foolin' around in bad weather. Well, I must close, to get ready for inspection to-morrow. Tell Charley Walker hello. Smith S.L. Green West Point Prep School Camp Bullis, Texas c/o Ft. Sam Houston Texas Mr. W.M. Green Box #426 Broken Bow, Oklahoma Wright City 44 to 0 Vivian La 19-1
