The Virtual Environments module, ( 1st Year FD Design for Digital Media ) - set a brief where students had to create a prototype experience based around an area from the DirectGov website . The students were advised to focus their projects on the areas of 'Environment & Greener Living' or 'Health and Wellbeing'
Waste and Recycling
This prototype build, focused on Recycling waste. The build was split into two sections.. a recycling building that contained a conveyor belt where you could find out what objects could be recycled as they headed towards the furnace ( in the larger idea - this would be a further developed game element where people would sift objects that could be recycled or not ). The second section was a Rubbish Dump - that explained more of the dangers of badly disposed waste.
Julie Lawson, Director of Trash Free Maryland, and Stiv Wilson, Campaign Director of The Story of Stuff Project, lead a research effort to collect microplastic samples from the Chesapeake Bay in Maryland on Sept. 4, 2015. The team used a manta trawl for the study, which sought to find out how much plastic waste is in the Chesapeake Bay, what kinds of plastic it is, and where it is coming from.

Historic Environment Record for H BUILDING, Malvern, UK
The building, having military purposes and designated locally as H building, sits on a former Government Research site in Malvern, Worcestershire at Grid Ref SO 786 447. This site was the home of the Telecommunications Research Establishment (TRE) from 1946. It has been owned by QinetiQ since 2001 and is in the process (October 2017 to February 2018) of being sold for redevelopment.
This unique building has at its heart a ‘Rotor’ bunker with attached buildings to house radar screens and operators as well as plant such as emergency generators. Twenty nine Rotor operational underground bunkers were built in great urgency around Britain to modernise the national air defence network, following the Soviet nuclear test in 1949. Two factors make H building’s construction and purpose unique; this prototype is the only Rotor bunker built above ground and it was the home to National Air Defence government research for 30 years.This example of a ROTOR bunker is unique instead of being buried, it was built above ground to save time and expense, as it was not required to be below ground for its research purpose.
H Building was the prototype version of the Rotor project R4 Sector Operations Centre air defence bunkers. Construction began in August 1952 with great urgency - work went on 24 hours a day under arc lights. The main bunker is constructed from cross bonded engineering bricks to
form walls more than 2 feet thick in a rectangle approximately 65ft x 50ft. The two internal floors are suspended from the ceiling. The original surrounding buildings comprise, two radar control and operator rooms, offices and machine plant.
The building was in generally good order and complete. The internal layout of the bunker remains as originally designed. The internal surfaces and services have been maintained and modernised over the 55 years since its construction (Figure 3). The first floor has been closed over.
There are some later external building additions around the periphery to provide additional accommodation.
In parts of the building the suspended floor remains, with 1950s vintage fittings beneath such as patch panels and ventilation ducts.
The building has been empty since the Defence Science & Technology Laboratories [Dstl] moved out in October 2008
As lead for radar research, RRE was responsible for the design of both the replacement radars for the Chain Home radars and the command and control systems for UK National Air Defence.
Project Rotor was based around the Type 80 radar and Type 13 height finder. The first prototype type 80 was built at Malvern in 1953 code named Green Garlic. Live radar feeds against aircraft sorties, were fed into the building to carry out trials of new methods plotting and reporting air activity
A major upgrade of the UK radar network was planned in the late 1950s – Project ‘Linesman’ (military) / ‘Mediator’ (civil) – based around Type 84 / 85 primary radars and the HF200 height finder. A prototype type 85 radar (Blue Yeoman) was built adjacent to H Building in 1959. live radar returns were piped into H Building.
Subsequently a scheme to combine the military and civil radar networks was proposed. The building supported the research for the fully computerised air defence scheme known as Linesman, developed in the 1960s, and a more integrated and flexible system (United Kingdom Air Defence Ground Environment or UKADGE) in the 1970s.
The building was then used for various research purposes until the government relinquished the main site to QinetiQ in 2001. Government scientists continued to use the building until 2008. Throughout its life access was strictly controlled by a dedicated pass sytem.
Notable civil spin-offs from the research in this building include the invention of touch screens and the whole UK Civil Air Traffic Control system which set the standard for Europe.
Chronology
1952 - Construction work is begun. The layout of the bunker area duplicates the underground version built at RAF Bawburgh.
1953 - Construction work is largely completed.
1954 - The building is equipped and ready for experiments.
1956-1958 - Addition of 2nd storey to offices
1957-1960 - Experiments of automatic tracking, novel plot projection systems and data management and communications systems tested.
1960-1970 - Project Linesman mediator experiments carried out including a novel display technique known as a Touch screen ( A World First)
TOUCHSCREEN
A team led by Eric Johnson in H building at Malvern. RRE Tech Note 721 states: This device, the Touch Sensitive Electronic Data Display, or more shortly the ‘Touch Display’, appears to have the potential to provide a very efficient coupling between man and machine. (E A Johnson 1966). See also patent GB 1172222.
Information From Hugh Williams/mraths
1980-1990 - During this period experiments are moved to another building and H building is underused.
1990-1993 - The building was re-purposed and the bunker (room H57) had the first floor closed over to add extra floor area.
2008- The bunker was used until late 2008 for classified research / Joint intelligence centre
2019 - Visual Recording of the buildings interior by MRATHS. Be means of a LIDAR scan and photographs being taken. The exterior was mapped with a drone to allow a 3D Image of the building to be created via Photogrammetry. This was created in Autodesk Photo Recap.
2020 - Building demolished as part of the redevelopment of the site.

This 365 has brought something to light for me. I like to photograph people in the midst of places that I find interesting. Maybe i like the colors; the light; the architecture; the space itself. and then i like to plop myself in it. maybe i see things that way because I'm doing this self 365, or maybe i just really like spaces and this is a way for me to get both done at the same time.
Paul Farnan, principal deputy, assistant Secretary of the Army for installations, energy and environment, speaks during a groundbreaking ceremony, May 19, 2022, for an energy resilience project at Joint Forces Training Base in Los Alamitos, California. The project, which will be constructed, owned and operated by Bright Canyon Energy, will generate 26 megawatts of solar photovoltaics, and will include a battery energy storage system, backup generators and a microgrid control system. The project enhances the installation’s energy resilience by providing power for critical missions for a minimum of two weeks during electrical grid outages. The project supports the Army Climate Strategy goal to build a microgrid on every installation by 2035. (U.S. Air National Guard photo by Staff Sgt. Crystal Housman)

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]
An artwork titled, "Eracism," by Yetunde Mondie Sapp, 19, is seen at the Anacostia Unmapped 2.0 exhibition at the D.C. Commission on the Arts and Humanities gallery in Washington on Sept. 12, 2018. According to the exhibit, Sapp, who has lived in Anacostia since the age of three, saw parallels between the displacement of African Americans in neighborhoods across the District of Columbia and the "erasure" of the local Nacotchtank Indians. According to the National Park Service, "The village of Nacotchtank (from which the name Anacostia is derived) was the largest of the three American Indian villages located in the Washington area and is believed to have been a major trading center."

The Math & Science Institute (MSI) is an academically rigorous program designed for students with a keen interest in pursuing degrees in science, technology, engineering and math (STEM). The Institute consists of seven college-credit courses:
-- BioTechnology
-- Environment and Energy Technology
-- Physics
-- Anatomy & Physiology
-- Statistics
-- Calculus
Many POPs (persistent organic pollutants), heavy metals and other contaminants from emissions further south are accumulated in Arctic food chains and ultimately in indigenous peoples. This process is often referred to as long-range pollution or long-range transport of pollutants. While fear of these compounds sometimes has resulted in abandonment of traditional foods, this has also led to more unhealthy food habits acquired from non-indigenous peoples. Most indigenous peoples in smaller communities still supply a large share of their household foods from natural resources.
