Comparing Footprint of Printed Newspapers vs Online Reading
2009-08-13 21:51:29 UTC
I'm looking for information and/or a comparison of the energy use/life cycle/carbon footprint of print newspapers vs that of viewing newspapers online.
Thanks

Information on Life Cycle Analyis and Embodied Energy of Various Metals and Building Materials
2009-08-13 21:47:47 UTC
I found the following link to a University of Bath wiki:
http://wiki.bath.ac.uk/display/ICE/Other+Metals. It's a list of references for publications on life cycle analyis and embodied energy of various metals and building materials, but also contains references to comparisons between various means of generating electricity and planning for sustainable development and construction.

Re: Looking for Programs that assist Schools to become more Sustainable

A couple of programs closer to home:
Australian Sustainable School Initiative (AuSSI) http://www.environment.gov.au/education/aussi/
Victorian resources for AuSSI are being developed by the Victorian Association for Environmental Education and project partners: CERES Environnmental Park (in Brunswick, well worth a visit!), NCS Swinburne and La Trobe University. Three linked resources and training packages that will build capacity of environmental sustainability educators and teachers to facilitate AuSSI, Vic. http://www.vaee.vic.edu.au/index.html
Also, Stephanie Alexander's kitchen garden foundation at this website: http://www.kitchengardenfoundation.org.au/. Growing, cooking and eating good food is a great conversation-starter for lots of issues to do with living sustainably.
Good luck!
