Ireland is living the paradox of digital success. A global hub for Google, Meta, LinkedIn and others — yet now facing grid instability as data centers approach a quarter of national electricity consumption. Digital infrastructure is never abstract. It’s physical, energy‑intensive, and deeply political.DataCenters #Ireland #Energy #AIInfrastructure #Cloud #Sustainability #TechPolicy #DigitalEconomy #Analytics #AI

@platypusparent not necessarily. The water resources aren't as strained in NQ as in SWWA, but the water supply isn't bottomless. NQ water resourcing also isn't as diversified as SWWA's - what happens when we get a repeat of the Millennium drought? Building more dams to cool data centres wouid be dystopic, but I wouldn't but it past the Chrisafulli govt to have a crack!

️ 242 Million Pixels: Calgary’s Urban Heat PulseTo model Calgary’s #UHI with precision, I processed 242,376,352 pixels from Sentinel-2 & Landsat 8/9 (Summer 2025).Using multi-temporal composites in #RStats on #Debian, I’ve revealed the persistent link between greenery & heat. Data shows that NDVI > 0.35 triggers a sharp drop in surface temp.This is a foundational layer for my Multi-Dimensional Environmental Matrix (#MDEM) framework for #UrbanHealth.#Calgary #GIS #RemoteSensing #Sustainability #yyc #ClimateResilience #GreennessOfCalgary

Saturday Data Dive: Mapping Calgary’s Thermal Fingerprint ️Spent some quality time with GEE, R and Landsat-8/9 data today.I’ve just finished processing a Median Land Surface Temperature (LST) model for Calgary, covering the entire Summer of 2025. This isn't just a single-day snapshot—it’s a robust composite of many satellite scenes, filtered to show the true intra-urban thermal zones.Quick Takeaways: Surface temperature in some busines area and "heat traps" peaked at over 51.3°C. The contrast between our "Cool Islands" and "Extreme Heat Zones" is striking. This automated workflow in R allows for a granular look at urban climate resilience that standard reports often miss.I’m currently finalizing a full breakdown and a community-by-community analysis.Stay tuned—the detailed article is coming soon!#Calgary #DataScience #UrbanHeatIsland #RemoteSensing #ClimateResilience #Landsat #RStats #GIS #Sustainability #GEE #EnvironmentalData #Summer2025 #YYC #GreennessOfCalgary #Alberta #Canada

@nazokiyoubinbou A lot of people in Norway that are against wind turbines are typically NIMBYs, they just don't want to see them from their house or when they're out and about. They know that "they are ugly" doesn't convince.

Il Tempo: Sostenibilità, Lamberti (PlanEat): "Pianificazione digitale riduce sprechi mense scolastiche"Roma, 3 mar. (Adnkronos) - “Il menù fisso ha il problema di fondo che crea disaffezione: il bambino subisce il pasto perché non ha la possibilità di scegliere. Si ritrova un primo, un secondo, un contorno che qualcun altro ha deciso. Questa disaffezione crea distanza". Lo ha detto Nicola Lamberti, Ceo di PlanEat, al convegno promosso da PlanEat 'Innovazione digitale e politiche pubbliche per la riduzione dello spreco alimentare nelle scuole' presso la sala Stampa della Camera dei Deputati. “C'è anche un altro problema legato alla quantità: in un contesto scolastico ci sono bisogni, abitudini e attività differenti che richiedono quantità diverse. Avere la possibilità di scegliere il pasto e la quantità è, secondo noi, il miglior strumento per lottare contro lo spreco alimentare a monte, evitando di produrre ciò che sarebbe certamente buttato.”“Dal progetto pilota PlanEat Scuole, realizzato nella provincia di Pavia, sono emersi risultati concreti: ponendo la scelta del pasto in forma volontaria il giorno prima, il 98% degli alunni ha aderito ordinando quasi tutti i piatti disponibili. La possibilità di selezionare tipo e quantità del primo, del secondo e del contorno ha permesso di ridurre del 52% lo spreco dei piatti e di diminuire del 20% il cucinato, aumentando così la qualità del servizio. Per estendere il modello su larga scala, è necessario introdurre nei contratti e negli appalti strumenti digitali per la pianificazione, così da evitare l'esubero alimentare a monte”, conclude Lamberti.Sustainability, Lamberti (PlanEat): "Digital planning reduces food waste in school canteens."Rome, March 3 (Adnkronos) - “The set menu has a fundamental problem that creates disinterest: the child experiences the meal because they don't have the opportunity to choose. They find themselves with a first course, a second course, and a side dish that someone else has decided. This disinterest creates distance." This was said by Nicola Lamberti, CEO of PlanEat, at the conference promoted by PlanEat 'Digital Innovation and Public Policies for Reducing Food Waste in Schools' at the Press Room of the Chamber of Deputies. “There is also another problem related to quantity: in a school setting there are different needs, habits, and activities that require different quantities. Having the possibility to choose the meal and the quantity is, in our opinion, the best tool to fight food waste upstream, avoiding the production of what would certainly be thrown away.” “From the PlanEat Schools pilot project, carried out in the province of Pavia, concrete results emerged: by making the choice of the meal voluntary the day before, 98% of students enrolled by ordering almost all the available dishes. The ability to select the type and quantity of the first course, the second course, and the side dish has allowed a reduction of 52% in food waste and a decrease of 20% in cooked dishes, thus improving the quality of the service. To extend the model on a large scale, it is necessary to introduce digital tools into contracts and tenders for planning, in order to avoid food surpluses upstream,” concludes Lamberti.#Sustainability #Lamberti #PlanEat #Digital #first #second #NicolaLamberti #Pavia https://www.iltempo.it/adnkronos/2026/03/03/news/sostenibilita-lamberti-planeat-pianificazione-digitale-riduce-sprechi-mense-scolastiche--46633949/

Adnkronos - ultimoratop: Sostenibilità, Branca (Legacoop): "Appalti equi per mense sostenibili"(Adnkronos) - “La lotta allo spreco alimentare e più in generale gli obiettivi di sostenibilità in Italia nell'ambito dei contratti pubblici sono regolati dai Cam. Il decreto che riguarda la ristorazione collettiva è del 2020. Noi sin dall'inizio avevamo criticato un'impostazione troppo rigida di questo decreto, soprattutto per quanto riguardava le prescrizioni molto vincolanti e molto prescrittive sulle percentuali di utilizzo di prodotti biologici”. Lo ha dichiarato Daniele Branca, responsabile ufficio Legislativo e Lavoro di Legacoop Produzione e Servizi, al convegno 'Innovazione digitale e politiche pubbliche per la riduzione dello spreco alimentare nelle scuole' presso la sala Stampa della Camera dei Deputati.Sustainability, Branca (Legacoop): "Fair tenders for sustainable canteens"(Adnkronos) – “The fight against food waste and, more generally, sustainability goals in Italy within public contracts are regulated by the Chambers. The decree concerning collective catering is from 2020. From the beginning, we had criticized this decree’s overly rigid approach, especially regarding the very prescriptive and highly detailed specifications on the percentages of organic product usage.” – stated Daniele Branca, Head of Legislative and Labor Office for Legacoop Produzione e Servizi, at the conference ‘Digital Innovation and Public Policies for Reducing Food Waste in Schools’ held at the Press Room of the Chamber of Deputies.#Sustainability #Branca(Legacoop #Italy #Chambers #DanieleBranca #LaborOffice https://www.adnkronos.com/sostenibilita/sostenibilita-branca-legacoop-appalti-equi-per-mense-sostenibili_5yEDJkaxRZIHAXqikK6fXs

In one corner, the bedraggled remains of Valentine’s Day gifts - plush hearts and plastic roses - were being cleared away. In another, Mother’s Day displays were already rising like a strategic invasion.It made me realize that we have allowed the retail industry to colonize our calendar."Link: https://www.resilience.org/stories/2026-03-02/the-cathedral-of-plastic-how-we-manufactured-a-year-of-excess/#Plastic #Environment #Pollution #Consumerism #Sustainability #Capitalism #Community

@IngridHbn en politieke verkiezingen. Want zodra die beginnen wordt bos verkocht aan boeren in ruil voor stemmen. Hele regenwouden die daarna gekapt worden voor landbouw. Maar daar lees je weer niets over.
