• Research – the initial project focus will be on efforts to understand the market and the Dell user needs.

• Development – the second stage uses insights gained through research in order to create new designs and concepts and present them to Dell for feedback.

• Finalization –this stage refines concepts addressing materials, technology, and product performance. The final recommendations will be an electronic presentation to Dell.

The students recently had a conference call with Dell officials to discuss the program. The Dell staff members working with the students are Mike Watson, Director of Compliance, and John Pflueger, Principal Environmental Strategist.
Waste from electronic devices is a growing problem around the world.

These University of Illinois students hope to offer some possible alternatives to placing old laptops in a landfill.

Last year several articles volleyed the value of Rebound – most notably The Rocky Mountain Institute, Joe Romm and others at Climate Progress in a response to the report by the The Breakthrough Institute.  This year, a report conducted by Shakeb Afsah, Kendyl Salcito and Chris Wielga at co2scorecard.org stirred the discussion once again, followed by an article on Grist.  The discussion provides the P2 community with a more nuanced understanding of the potential savings of source reduction recommendations and provides evidence to support efficiency strategies.

P2 professionals ought to consider a trip down the Rebound rabbit hole for several reasons.  First, the P2 community stays credible by staying engaged.  If one drills through the contentious nature of the Rebound blog posts, it’s clear that the arguments are not about whether Rebound occurs, but at what level.  At its core, that makes the Rebound discussion one about measurement – how large are the gains claimed by those working in resources efficiency?  It’s fair to consider Rebound as a loss much like friction modifies the ideal laws of motion.  And it’s fair to expect the P2 community to be interested in whether the Rebound loss is trivial or sizable.  Even a brief look at the academic literature listed below makes it clear that efficiency measurements based on expected savings will likely fail to accurately report actual resource consumption rates.  Measurements that forecast savings without considering Rebound are a little like projecting savings with a Simple Payback calculation – it’s ok as a first approximation, but it’s not considered a complete calculation – Simple Payback often ignores cash flows received after the payback period and typically does not recognize the time value of money.

The second reason for P2 professionals to notice the Rebound discussion is that it highlights the critical importance of considering social and behavioral science and that a focus through technology blinders is limiting.  The Rebound premise recognizes that waste comes not only from technological change, but also from the actions, decisions, and behaviors of individuals and organizations. The P2 professional who wants to stay active in a world focused on the sustainability challenge will need to be proficient in both technical change and behavioral change.

Lastly, P2 policymakers should recognize the relationship of Rebound information with the mandates of the 1990 P2 Act (PPA).  Congress told the EPA Administrator in the PPA to use grants “…to promote the use of source reduction techniques by businesses.”  Among other things, it says, grant funded programs should “[t]arget assistance to businesses for whom lack of information is an impediment to source reduction.”  Certainly the information about whether and how much Rebound can impact resource consumption is information which can impede ultimate source reduction success.

More potential discussion topics surrounding Rebound exist for technical assistance providers, program managers, and policy makers than this author has time to cover in one post. Some of the bright young economists at UNO College of Business Administration (CBA) have posited interesting research to add to the mix.  I hope you’ll look a little bit further into Rebound, as it seems to be an annual topic of interest which generates significant give-and-take.

You’ve also no doubt seen that the biggest shopping day of the year, Black Friday, has expanded to include increasing chunks of time on Thursday. Not to mention the transactions on Cyber Monday.

When it comes to buying, why waste it on one special day?

This year is the 20th year of Buy Nothing Day – a day to celebrate the choice not to over-consume. Interestingly, BND was begun by Adbusters.org, the same folks who had a hand in initiating Occupy Wall Street. You can Tweet about mashing the two with #OCCUPYXMAS

Or, you could simply take the day as holiday, enjoying some music to put you in the mood for not shopping.

Last year I put together a list of tunes that cover consumerism and our insatiable need to accumulate more stuff. I found half again as many songs this year as last. Almost all of the songs are available for a free listen by searching YouTube. I’d be interested in hearing if there are some you think I missed or if you think shouldn’t be on the list. Leave a comment – let everyone know your favorite & why.

And – should you happen to think of it – offer a business model for what to do with a curated list of such tunes. Perhaps there’s some edutainment potential?

In the Great Lakes region, the Indiana Department of Environmental Management (IDEM) and the Indiana Partners for Pollution Prevention (P4P2) will be hosting the 14th Annual Pollution Prevention Conference and Trade Show on Thursday, September 22.

GLRPPR’s sister Pollution Prevention Resource Exchange (P2Rx) center, the Pacific Northwest Pollution Prevention Resource Center (PPRC) is hosting a 20th anniversary banquet for its regional P2 roundtable during P2 Week.  Highlights will include a presentation by Dara O’Rourke, founder of the Good Guide, and former PPRC staff member.

And to kick off P2 Week, P2Rx has announced the launch of the National Sustainable Lodging Network, an online community of sustainable hospitality practitioners and an information clearinghouse to support the work of this community, found online at www.SustainableLodging.org. This site brings lodging operations together with federal, state, local, and tribal sustainable hospitality programs, including environmental agencies, tourism boards, and lodging associations. The goals for the site are to provide forums for sustainable hospitality practitioners to share information on practices and challenges; elevate sustainable hospitality programs and the facilities that participate in them; increase the adoption of sustainable hospitality practices nationwide; and foster innovation in sustainable lodging through the exchange of ideas.

If your organization or community is hosting a special event this week, tell us about it in the comments section of this post.

The webinar, scheduled for this Thursday, September 15 at 1 PM Central, will explain how the use of social media and web 2.0 technologies can bring value to pollution prevention and assistance programs. The presenters will also discuss their experiences using different social media applications to reach a variety of audiences, and share tips on what has been successful. One of the presenters will be GLRPPR’s own Laura Barnes, who will discuss “How to Get Started Using Social Media.” Other speakers include Andy Bray of NEWMOA and Sarah Haas from the Minnesota Technical Assistance Program (MnTAP).

Social media can be a powerful tool for staying informed, networking (especially in these days of limited budgets and frowned upon travel requests), and spreading the word about your products and services without spending a great deal of money.  After participating in the webinar, I encourage you to make use of GLRPPR’s Twitter and Facebook pages. These pages incorporate items from various GLRPPR RSS feeds, such as news items, new additions to our Sector Resources, and blog posts (like this one!), so they can be a great way to catch the best highlights from many of our services in one place.  These pages also feature items re-posted (“re-tweeted”) by myself and Laura from the various other Twitter, Facebook and news sources that we monitor — our recommendations for content that you would find interesting and useful. They also offer an opportunity to comment on posts (Facebook) or use direct messages and “mentions” (Twitter), thus providing an online forum for discussion of resources. And through the use of conventions (like Twitter’s #FollowFriday and #EcoMonday) and lists of friends and followers, you can learn about other people and organizations engaged in work and interests similar to yours.

So be sure to register for the webinar on NEWMOA’s web site. We’d love for you to be one of our tweeps!

I’ve seen many guides to green gifts, both generic and occasion-specific. But I realized recently that there are not many, if any, guides focused on green gestures. This is the phrase I use when thinking of gifts related to sustainability that do not involve giving a tangible item to the recipient. Instead, green gestures are more symbolic for the recipient or honoree, but they may indeed have tangible benefits for the environment or for society in general. Green gestures are good to keep in mind for the person who seemingly has everything, or for acquaintances or colleagues for whom you do not have a good sense of interests and preferences. Green gestures are also a good solution to expressing appreciation when ethical considerations can make giving or receiving tangible gifts undesirable or inappropriate. An example would be thanking an elected official for speaking at your event. Such gestures are often also used as memorials or to celebrate special occasions like a birth, a wedding, or a retirement. This list is by no means exhaustive (feel free to share your ideas in the “Comments” section of this post), and should not be construed as an endorsement of any of the items or organizations listed by GLRPPR or its host agency, the Illinois Sustainable Technology Center. This list is for informational purposes only, and is meant to help you start thinking outside the gift box.

Plant a Tree

This is probably the first symbolic gesture that would pop into everyone’s mind. The idea of a lovely tree providing shade, shelter for wildlife and improvement of air quality in honor of a person or event is sure to be well received. If you don’t want to go through the actual process yourself, organizations like the National Arbor Day Foundation make it easy by allowing you to donate a modest amount of money and either print out your own certificate to present or have a special ‘Give-a-Tree‘ card printed for you to commemorate the planting of trees in a national forest.  Of, if you prefer to give actual seedlings and allow others to plant them where they wish, you can do that as well.

Retire Emissions Credits

A few environmental groups sell emissions credits for certain pollutants, which are thus retired, meaning that specific amount of pollution will not be legally emitted in the first place–a different twist on pollution prevention. With fewer credits available for purchase, there is also a theoretical incentive for emitters to change practices to avoid emissions. I once retired a ton of acid-rain causing pollution as a present for an environmentally conscious friend, and felt assured that no one else had gotten such a thing for her. (As a wedding present, for example, it’s a bit less likely to be duplicated than a toaster someone forget to check off a store’s gift registry.) She was delighted and proudly showed off her certificate to her environmental biology students.  The Adirondack Council retires credits for acid rain-causing sulfur dioxide pollution or carbon dioxide credits [retired from the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative (RGGI) program]. Certificates are provided. The Acid Rain Retirement Fund also purchases and retires sulfur dioxide emissions credits using member donations. They provide certificates as well. The US EPA Clean Air Markets “Buying Allowances” page provides a list of environmental groups that retire emissions credits, but it should be noted that the Clean Air Conservancy Trust apparently closed down in November of 2010. That’s unfortunate because according to the EPA page, this was the only known environmental organization to retire nitrogen oxide credits. As the EPA page notes, emissions credits are also available via brokers (a list is provided) and EPA auctions, and keeping credits off the market has the same effect whether one purchases credits via an environmental group, broker or EPA Auction. See http://www.epa.gov/airmarkets/trading/auction.html for information on EPA auctions; this page includes links to fact sheets on allowance auctions in general, as well as a fact sheet on how to bid. Using an environmental group as a go-between is surely easier for most individuals looking for a unique gift.

Carbon Offsets

Carbon offsets involve making a donation to an organization that uses the funds toward a project that will reduce emissions of carbon dioxide or other greenhouse gases somewhere else, in theory balancing out the emissions that an individual or group would be responsible for via a given action or set of actions. Projects typically funded involve the generation of renewable energy (wind farms are a common example) or reforestation. Offsets are measured in metric tons of  carbon dioxide equivalents (see http://www.epa.gov/climatechange/glossary.html#C for an explanation of the term). See the Wikipedia article on the subject for a list of the greenhouse gases typically represented by carbon dioxide equivalents, as well a general discussion of offset markets, sources, related accounting, quality assurance schemes, and the various controversies surrounding carbon offsets. Carbon offsets are somewhat related to the previous two options in that tree-planting projects are sometimes used for offsetting purposes and carbon allowances can also be retired from emissions trading schemes as a method for offsetting carbon emissions. Be aware, however, that a corporation’s purchase of carbon offsets can be seen as a type of greenwashing, in which money is paid for an easy to promote green image without actual behavior change, or at least as something that generates a lot of hype without real effectiveness. Again, check out the “controversies” section of the Wikipedia article for more information. HowStuffWorks also has a good article on carbon offsets, controversies and links to more information to help you make an informed choice. Some of the criticisms of offsets can apply to all of the gestures listed in this post, but the gestures listed here are provided as a positive way to say thank-you or congratulations to someone while also inspiring them to think about their impact on the environment, rather than as the solution to any particular global environmental problem. A Google search on the phrase “carbon offsets” will yield several organizations from which offsets can be purchased, including Carbonfund.org, NativeEnergy.com, TerraPass.

Sponsor Wildlife or Wild Places

Another option is to make a donation in someone’s honor to project that promotes the conservation of particular wildlife species (this is often geared toward endangered species) or a particular ecosystem or protected area, such as a national park or refuge. The Sierra Club, for example, offers sponsorships for multiple national wildlife refuges and national monuments and national parks, with notes regarding the wildlife species that would be helped by protecting these areas.  Other organizations, such as the National Wildlife Federation and the World Wildlife Fund offer “adoptions” of certain animal species that typically come with a certificate and educational information about the animals in question. These types of donations are generally symbolic and the money is used in the way the agency deems best to protect wildlife in general. The World Wildlife Fund also offers an option that allows the recipient to “choose” the animal they are sponsoring, rather than you choosing it for them via an adoption gift card. The Nature Conservancy offers gifts to sponsor specific conservation projects or tributes tied to particular occasions with e-cards sent to the recipient. You could also consider making a donation on someone’s behalf to a local or state conservation organization to protect a state park or fund specific conservation projects that are closer to home for them. If the person in question likes fishing or boating, you might consider a donation to an agency focused on protecting waterways, for example.

Other Charitable Donations & Gift Subscriptions

Think about the three main components of sustainability–economy, environment and society. The gestures we’ve discussed thus far have clear environmental components, and even economic components, but what about a donation to a charity that touches upon the social aspects of sustainability, or all three components? Via Heifer International, for example, you can donate gifts of livestock or plants that will help make families and communities in less developed areas more self-reliant. A flock of chicks, a cow or some honeybees can provide food and income for someone less fortunate. Mercy Corps offers symbolic gifts in a similar vein; you can choose gifts related to environmental issues, health, children’s welfare, etc. A donation to an environmental education project in the recipient’s community could help inspire the next generation of “rethinkers” while also providing the social benefits of engaging young people in constructive, civic-minded activities. A gift membership in the recipient’s local community supported agriculture program would help foster a healthier environment, a healthier lifestyle, a stronger community and a healthier local economy. Check out the Local Harvest web site to find such programs in your recipient’s area. A donation to support medical research obviously touches upon the social aspect of sustainability and could also potentially be linked to environmental issues as well, when you consider the health impacts of pollutants and emerging toxins. Another interesting twist on the idea of tributes that I came across is a donation in someone’s honor to charity:water, which works to provide clean and safe drinking water to people in developing nations. If none of these ideas strike a chord with you, check out Alternative Gifts International, an organization that offers links to projects administered by other non-profit agencies. They group projects by category in their “Shopping List for the World” to help steer you toward the projects that will resonate with you and your recipients.

Are you aware of other ways to give thanks or tribute while also giving back to the environment or society? Share your suggestions in the comments section of this post.

Every year at the University of Michigan, School of Natural Resources and Environment, approximately 20-25 interdisciplinary teams of master’s students tackle real world environmental projects with a professional client organization. If you have a potential project idea, we encourage you to consider submitting it.

WHAT IS A MASTER’S PROJECT?
Master’s projects are 12-15 month long (begin in March and most are typically completed by the following April) problem-solving experiences conducted by interdisciplinary teams of SNRE Master’s degree students as the capstone of their academic program at the University of Michigan School of Natural Resources and Environment. Projects provide students with a team experience that approximates a future work environment while also providing client organizations with solutions to complex environmental issues and useful products. Clients and faculty advisors provide feedback along the way.

WHY SUBMIT A PROJECT IDEA?
It’s a chance to get an interdisciplinary team of master’s students to tackle an environmental issue of importance to your organization while providing them with a real-world problem solving learning experience.

A FEW EXAMPLES OF RECENT PROJECTS:

• Climate Change Adaptation in Great Lakes Cities
• Building a Sustainable Community in Africa
• Assisting a tribal community with business planning and forestland acquisition
• Green Brewery project

See more project examples here:  http://snre.umich.edu/current_students/masters_projects/masters_archives

HOT MASTER’S PROJECT TOPICS:
This list was generated from looking at the last several years of master’s project topics that were selected by SNRE student teams.  We encourage you to submit project ideas that especially focus on these general topic areas but other topic ideas are certainly welcome.  Feel free to contact Lisa to discuss your project idea.Renewable energy (wind, solar, hydro, biofuels, geothermal)

1. Ecosystem/ biodiversity conservation/ restoration
2. Sustainable agriculture/ food
3. Ecosystem services (ex: forests as carbon sinks, wetlands as water pollution filters, etc.)
4. Freshwater (river/ lake) ecosystem conservation
5. Sustainable urban communities
6. Corporate sustainability
7. Sustainable energy financing
8. Great Lakes
9. Sustainable transportation
