The 420Sq.Fit apartment embraces a new spirit of urban living. It offers to rethink life’s priorities, to distill activities and virtues that bring the most pleasure and satisfaction, by means of sensible space planning and smart installations. All surfaces and objects within the definition of its small footprint are infused with meanings and purposes. Its construction guarantees … read more http://www.worldwatch.org/system/files/NuclearStatusReport2011_prel.pdf

The report highlights a bleak future for the nuclear industry which will require a reassessment of many countries' nuclear energy strategies. A discussion will follow the presentation featuring commentary by Rebecca Harms, President of the Greens-EFA, and Ralf Fuecks, President of the Heinrich Böll Foundation. For more about this report: View the “Nuclear Power After Fukushima” powerpoint presentation. Sign-up for e-mail notification at the Worldwatch Press Room for updates on the report's release. Chris Quaife, P.Eng, CMA, is coordinating a discussion at the APEGBC Sea-to-Sky Branch on influence, issues, market failures and the "new engineer IN SOCIETY", following on the intention of the Montreal Declaration in 2009.

He is a Wood Science Master’s student at UBC who's doing a lot of work on LCA. It is very encouraging that he has also created a civil engineering course that he's teaching at UBC: Whole Building Life Cycle Assessment (CIVL 498C) http://www.sustain.ubc.ca/teaching-learning/featured-content/civl-498c-north-america%E2%80%99s-largest-building-environmental-impact-s http://www.civil.ubc.ca/video/index.php We have just launched a CIRS-related social media campaign aimed at 60 influential bloggers (if you are interested in the list, which includes general sustainability, green buildings, sustainable universities, architecture, civic affairs and more, I'm happy to share). The campaign is to support a new CIRS video and the new, spiffy-if-I-do-say-so-myself CIRS website. I encourage you to share this information through your own channels. Here is the pitch that went to the bloggers. ________________________________ SUBJECT: The Greenest Building in North America We thought you might be interested in the greenest building in North America. Called the Centre for Interactive Research on Sustainability (CIRS) at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver, it’s on track to open in the summer of 2011. UBC just launched a new website for CIRS, at www.sustain.ubc.ca/hubs/cirs. The site features a two-minute overview video, which is also on YouTube at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZL-47Vc1kHg . Please feel free to embed it in a post if you’re interested. CIRS aims to be the most innovative and high performance building in North America, a “living laboratory” where professors, students and partners demonstrate leading-edge research and develop sustainable design practices, products, systems and policies. The building will push the frontiers of sustainable construction materials and building techniques. It will draw much of its heat from the ground, electricity from the sun, ventilation from the wind, water from the rain–all while reducing the university’s energy use and carbon footprint. UBC has set some of the most aggressive GHG reduction targets in the world, with the goal of eliminating 100% of GHG emissions by 2050. The UBC Sustainability Initiative (USI), the group responsible for integrating sustainability research, teaching and learning, and operations, will be housed in CIRS. Warm regards in these cold days, Ann Ann Campbell Manager of Communications UBC Sustainability Initiative 2202 Main Mall, Room 444 Vancouver, B.C.

The Environmental Protection Department (EPD) commissioned a consultancy study in 2008 to review and update the local inventories of GHG emissions and removals; assess the impacts of climate change in Hong Kong; and recommend long-term strategies and measures to reduce GHG emissions as well as to adapt to the effects of climate change. The consultation paper now presents proposals on the strategy and action agenda drawn up from the consultancy study. Details of the consultation could be viewed at the EPD website at http://www.epd.gov.hk/epd/english/climate_change/consult.html.
