Question: How can we integrate something everyone uses everyday with something that can save the world? Answer: Green technology. As you might have seen, I’ve had a recent trend of studying and trying to understand the complexities of green technologies (and the part they’ve started to play in developing countries around the world). Green technology is something that is hard to define- while it’s concrete …

I haven’t attended many new talks and panels, but I was instead able to attend something unsimilar (whoops, apparently that’s not a word- but I’m keeping it there) yet still very interesting- a collection of plays focusing on environmental issues. These plays were student-directed, and took place in a small, dimly-lit theater by a couple of acting students. After each play was performed, there was …

Welcome back to my five-part series on green technology in developing countries and in the UNFCCC! As you may have read, my last three articles discuss the more basic principles of green technology. I have looked at a few separate aspects of green technology, such as the basics of green technology, financing of green technology, and some larger developing countries (*cough* CHINA *cough*) and their …

Welcome back to my study of the COP23, and my study of green technology today, and how this fascinating and evolving tech is working to reach around the world! In the past, I’ve looked at China’s involvement with green technology and the basics of green technology in the COP23, and today I’ll be looking more into the financial standpoint of green technology. How do we finance green …

As mentioned in one of my posts in the past, I have been focusing recently on the COP23.  MY goal, specifically,  was to study how green technology integrates within the necessities of today’s technologies, and how this evolving technology can reach developing countries. A lot of the COP delegation had a primary goal of bringing together countries to discuss the main issues of the Kyoto …

HeLLO Friends! Welcome back again! I’ve come back to give the run-down on another talk that I just participated in! Another one of my Environmental Science professors, Dr. Gunderson, spoke on- you guessed it- communicating the science of global environmental change. It was an interesting topic, and looked at a couple of key points: Conceptualizing the planet The macroscopic views of Earth Earth system sciences …

When I think of climate change and weather, the last thing that I connect it to is art. However, when I went to the Weatherwise/ Otherwise Gallery at Agnes Scott College, I was amazingly surprised- the artists who were featured knew exactly how to connect art, climate change, and weather. And boy, did they know how to do it well. Data visualization is an art- and …

As an environmentally-based blog, it is my duty to recognize the fact that the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change 23rd Conference of the Parties (that’s a mouthful) is happening at this very moment in Bonn, Germany. As described in the title, this COP (Conference of the Parties) will discuss some very important issues, including but not limited to: Kyoto Protocol (CMP 13) Subsidiary …

Hello, I’m back, and this time with more lecture experience! Thomas D. Rogers is one of Emory University’s teachers- however, unlike any of the other talks that I’ve participated in, Dr. Rogers didn’t focus on Environmental Science, but instead was technically a teacher for Modern Latin American History. This speech was nothing that I was expecting- in fact, while touching upon environmentalism, his speech was …

On Wednesday, my Climate Change and Society class and I participated in a mock UN trial simulation on World Climate.  It was one of the more interesting activities that we’ve participated in, as we each were able to gain a little perspective in how world and group discussions worked, as well as the relative power that countries had over others (I’m talking to you, USA). …
