In response to rising world concern about the conditions of man’s habitat, representatives of some 130 nations converged on Stockholm, Sweden, in an unprecedented meeting to seek ways to translate that concern into a global attack on the common perils menacing the environment. The two-week U.N. Conference on the Human Environment (5-16 June) was called by the General Assembly with the aim of producing an international political consensus on ways of preserving and improving the environment for this and future generations.
Maurice Strong, Secretary-General of the Conference, addressing a group of people at a “Whale Celebration” held at Skarpnack. One of the recommendations made at the Conference was – Governments should reach an international agreement to stop the commercial hunting of whales for 10 years, and should prepare conventions to protect migratory animals and those that inhabit international waters; a global programme should be initiated to preserve the world’s genetic resources through conservation and seed banks. [5-16 June 1972]

Minister of Environment and Parks Jason Nixon announced, from the Genesee generating station west of Edmonton on Tuesday, September 22, 2020, that Alberta’s government is spending dollars from the Technology Innovation and Emissions Reduction (TIER) fund on a series of programs that will get Albertans back to work and reduce emissions.
TIER is funded by large industry. The latest TIER investment will support 3,400 jobs on its own and up to 8,700 jobs when investments from industry and other funding sources are included.
This investment is in direct response to the unprecedented economic consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic and low oil prices, supporting a suite of programs that will create thousands of jobs and help industry reduce emissions.
Alberta’s government will invest up to $750 million from the TIER fund and other public funding. This investment will be more than doubled by additional dollars from industry and other sectors, leading to more than $1.9 billion in total funding.
Carbon capture, utilization, and storage is an example of the technology the TIER fund is supporting. This technology can capture, use and store up to 90 per cent of carbon dioxide emissions produced from the use of fossil fuels in industrial activities, preventing those emissions from entering the atmosphere. Alberta is already a leader in this area, having taken considerable steps with commercial-scale funding, regulatory enhancements, and knowledge sharing. Government’s latest TIER investment keeps this momentum going.
This TIER funding includes $80 million for Alberta’s new Industrial Energy Efficiency and Carbon Capture Utilization and Storage (IEE CCUS) Grant Program. This program offers funding for industrial energy efficiency and carbon capture, utilization and storage projects. It will help Alberta’s industries reduce emissions, increase competitiveness, save money and improve energy efficiency through technology and equipment upgrades. The program is estimated to create hundreds of jobs and could reduce about 300,000 tonnes of emissions per year, depending on the types of projects that are submitted.

Back in the spring, our editor Daniel Kelly took a trip to Sippo Lake in Stark County, Ohio. Park managers are studying water quality after recent sediment load reduction efforts. As a part of the study, local high schools and colleges are using the lake to create place-based learning opportunities.

We went out mapping, or more precisely doing aerial photography, flying a digital camera under a nice big green balloon from the green of Goldsmiths University. The MA is Design at Goldsmiths has an option called “Design & Environment” supervised by Prof Jennifer Gabrys. It is a course that initiates students to alternatives design and environmental methods and pratices. This hands-on experiment was lead by Cesar Harada acting both as Goldsmiths tutor and Public Laboratory instructor. The mappers -who are also the authors of this post- were Anuja Uttamrao Borker, Inessa Demidova, Shan-Yu Hsu, Dk Hajah Hazwani Pg Dato Haji Jaberudin, Federica Sterpos, Chian-Yun Yang, Yifan Zhang, Elvira Grob.

"Shared Space" is a tool that allows scenographers to create virtual sound spheres in any space in a museum. This new experience offers the public the possibility to merge more deeply with works of art. While wearing headphones, the visitor is at the center of every sound. Depending on their location in the museum, the visitor can focus on a specific sound, story, or sound texture. In this way, senses other than sight, may be aroused and stimulated.
