The Story of 25 years of Environment and Climate Change in Transition Countries
The Environment and Sustainability Department and the Energy Efficiency and Climate Change Team held a panel discussion on environmental and social issues, as well as climate change mitigation, in countries where we invest.
It was also an opportunity to present the 2014 EBRD Sustainability Awards which recognised the achievements of Bank clients in environmental protection and energy efficiency and to launch the Sustainability Report 2013.
The discussion panel aimed to provide a personal perspective on the effects of 25 years of transition on the environment, climate change and society, including consideration of such issues as the impact of EU integration and commitments made under other international conventions and agreements on environmental and social topics.

LOS ALAMITOS, Calif. — The 79th Sustainment Support Command officially opened its new 53,000 square-foot headquarters facility on Joint Forces Training Base Los Alamitos Jan. 12.
Hosting fellow Soldiers, civic leaders and community members was Maj. Gen. William D. Frink, Jr., 79th SSC commander.
"The structure behind me... is proof positive of U.S. Army commitment to our Army Reserve Soldiers," said Frink. "Our new home represents $29 million worth of construction in Southern California. This is tangible recognition of the Army Reserve as an indispensable force to our Nation."
For a sustainable future, Corps projects like this one are designed using the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design Program. LEED is how the U.S. Green Building Council rates a project for its design and achievement in categories like sustainability, water efficiency, energy conservation and design innovation.
"We demonstrate care for our community by ensuring we are good stewards of our environment," said Frink. "The building behind me is LEED Gold. It optimizes energy performance and was built with regional material to cut down on our carbon footprint. It has low water consumption and uses both renewable energy and recycled material."
Even the covered parking lots are an energy feature. Covered in a photo voltaic system that, according to Edward Desmond of Cox Construction of Vista, Calif., will produce 375 KVA [kilovolt-amps], generating enough power to offset the building's consumption on the Los Alamitos power grid.
The 79th SSC commands approximately 20,000 Army Reserve Soldiers and civilians across 19 states located west of the Mississippi River. By all accounts, this state-of-the-art facility is well equipped to enhance mission readiness and family well-being for such a geographically dispersed unit.
"I think it helps to build camaraderie," said Ann Nacino, Youth Services specialist. "It helps to build that connection with the Soldiers and civilians that support the command full time."
"This building tends to be a beacon for family members of all different services," said Sherry Rallis, Family Readiness community outreach assistant. "We really enjoy, as staff, collaborating with each other and welcoming family members and Soldiers that now have direct access to us, all in the same building."

The Moab Uranium Mill Tailings Remedial Action Project summoned its Integrated Project Team (IPT) at the end of June 2009 to assist in identifying efficiencies that could be implemented in the tailings material handling, conditioning, transporting, and disposal processes. The Moab Recovery Act project accelerates the existing project shipping schedule; therefore, there is not an IPT specific to Recovery work.
DOE established the IPT in 2005 to maximize project performance. The IPT is led by Donald Metzler, Moab Federal Project Director, and is composed of personnel from other DOE sites with previous uranium mill tailings remediation experience, safety experts, and project cost and schedule specialists.

From the Dickenson County Historical Museum - another part of our delightful trip to Abilene. I hvae heard of and seen pictures of the Coleman Arc Lantern - but had never seen one in-person.
Coleman collecting is/was a pretty good part of my life - and this was a real treat to see. Not at all sure how it works - or even if this is assembled correctly or is even functional.
Update Jan 17, 2011
Guess I still have not seen an arc lantern as this is actually an "Efficiency" Lamp - in the style that inspired Mr. Coleman to buy the company and begin a wonderful journey bringing affordable light to millions worldwide. Here is some more info - info
