livebetter Features:
 
USN Rear Adm. K.J. Norton, Africa Partnership Station: Africa, with its one billion and counting population, its vast natural resources and its untapped human potential, has the power to assist the world economy, to become a model for equitable development and to aid world stability. This potential, unleashed for the common good, could bring about a beneficial change in the...
ONR's Martin Jeffries, Arctic Report Card: "The 2011 Arctic Report Card shows record-setting changes occurring throughout the Arctic environmental system. Given the projection of continued global warming, it is very likely that major Arctic changes will continue in years to come with increasing climate, biological and social impacts," states NOAA. The Arctic Report...
CH2M HILL, Smaller Footprints, Better Outcomes: "Tug on anything at all and you'll find it connected to everything else in the universe," said conservationist John Muir. Nowhere is this more accurate than in remediation - the science of cleaning-up contaminated sites. Addressing problems caused by poor past practices tugs on a lot of strings, such as greenhouse gases (GHG) generated by...
NCDMM & GKN Aerospace, Sustainable Machining Cells: Although many civilians may not understand what sustainable machining cells are, the concept is at the core of new efforts within the Department of Defense (DoD) to manufacture sustainable products, which are less expensive and better for the environment. Recently the United States Air Force, GKN Aerospace and the National...
livebetter Departments:
 
Lord, Aeck & Sargent, Historic LEED Renovation: The concept of stewardship - the belief that people are charged with maintaining their environment for future generations - is a fundamental tenant of both environmental conservation and historic preservation. While these different fields often diverge in details, their primary goals are in harmony. As the physical reminder of cultural heritage, historic...
Elizabeth Lameman, PhD, Gamifying Education: The use of game technology in the service of educational ends can be understood as "gamification." Gamification is "an informal umbrella term for the use of video game elements in non-gaming systems to improve user experience (UX) and user engagement" (Deterding, et al., 2011). These non-gaming systems can...
Sylvia Minton, Solar as a Smart Power Move: Living and acting in an environmentally conscious way and finding a balance between economics, environment and society is, historically, not a new concept. However, it is a relatively new concept for the United States - a vast country of open spaces, abundant beauty and seemingly endless resources. Until recently, the 3Rs of "reduce...
Worth Knowing, Information of Interest: The Blueprint for Ocean and Coastal Sustainability sounds the alarm about the health of the ocean and explains how it influences everyday life by regulating climate, by providing highly nutritious food and by sustaining livelihoods and economies. It recalls that although the ocean accounts for 70 percent of the surface of the planet...
livebetter Columns:
 
Photographer Phil Borges, TIBET: Culture at the Edge: I took my first trip to Tibet in 1994 to collect interviews and portraits for my book Tibetan Portrait: The Power of Compassion. When I returned in 2009, I could barely believe the amount of development that had happened. When I flew to Lhasa fifteen years before, my 737 from Katmandu was nearly empty. This time I arrived from Beijing...
Cong. Donna F. Edwards, Green Infrastructure: In President Barack Obama's 2012 State of the Union address he declared, "There's never been a better time to build." I could not agree more. "So much of America needs to be rebuilt," the President continued, "We've got crumbling roads and bridges." The President is absolutely right about the crisis, which is why now is...
SSPCO, Building Better Roads: Years ago, leading geologists ridiculed naturalist John Muir's observations that persistent forces of water were responsible for carving Yosemite Valley. Just as the presence of glaciers one million years ago in the Sierra Nevada was apparently a mystery to most, the mechanisms of water movement through road and earthwork structures...
PVC Pipe Assoc, Sustainable Water Systems: In 1787 the Founding Fathers knew they were forging a charter of freedom to create a new nation by the voice of the people. What they did not realize is that 225 years later the United States would continue to educate and to shape public understanding by "promoting the general welfare" through adoption of sustainable practices...
