War on waste: Can all glass really be recycled? Updated Glass is commonly thought of as a product that can always be recycled. But did you know there are a few glass items we shouldn't put in the recycle bin? Craig Mynott from O-I Asia Pacific, a glass recycling plant in Brisbane, said some glass needed to be excluded because it contained products that could not be reused. "Microwave turntables, ovenware, crystal glass, mirrors and light bulbs can't be recycled. Did you know? Glass was discovered more than 5,000 years agoGlass takes one million years to break down naturallyRecycling a glass jar saves enough energy to light a bulb for four hoursCrushed glass produce is called 'cullet'Source: Clean-up Australia "We prefer if people don't put them in the recycling bin. "We just want to see bottles and jars in there." Mr Mynott said dirty jars could also be harder to recycle. "Jars that have contained food products we like to be rinsed," he told ABC Radio Brisbane's Craig Zonca. How does the glass recycling process work?
H. G. Wells Herbert George "H. G." Wells (21 September 1866 – 13 August 1946)[3] was an English writer, now best known for his work in the science fiction genre. He was also a prolific writer in many other genres, including contemporary novels, history, politics and social commentary, even writing textbooks and rules for war games. Wells is sometimes called "The Father of Science Fiction", as are Jules Verne and Hugo Gernsback.[4][a] His most notable science fiction works include The War of the Worlds, The Time Machine, The Invisible Man and The Island of Doctor Moreau. Wells's earliest specialised training was in biology, and his thinking on ethical matters took place in a specifically and fundamentally Darwinian context.[5] He was also from an early date an outspoken socialist, often (but not always, as at the beginning of the First World War) sympathising with pacifist views.

Teoria geral de sistemas Origem: Wikipédia, a enciclopédia livre. A teoria geral de sistemas (também conhecida pela sigla, T.G.S.) surgiu com os trabalhos do biólogo austríaco Ludwig von Bertalanffy, publicados entre 1950 e 1968. A T.G.S. não busca solucionar problemas ou tentar soluções práticas, mas sim produzir teorias e formulações conceituais que possam criar condições de aplicação na realidade empírica. Os pressupostos básicos da T.G.S. são: A importância da TGS é significativa tendo em vista a necessidade de se avaliar a organização como um todo e não somente em departamentos ou setores. O mais importante ou tanto quanto é a identificação do maior número de variáveis possíveis, externas e internas que, de alguma forma, influenciam em todo o processo existente na Organização. Os sistemas vivos, sejam indivíduos ou organizações, são analisados como “sistema abertos”, mantendo um continuo intercâmbio de matéria/energia/informação com o ambiente.

War on waste: Meet the home sewers saying no to fast fashion by making their own clothes Posted Media player: "Space" to play, "M" to mute, "left" and "right" to seek. Audio: Saying no to fast fashion (Saturday Breakfast) Interest in home sewing is on the rise as people embrace the craft of making their own clothes and limiting fashion waste. Australians are the world's second largest consumers of textiles, buying on average 27 kilograms of new clothing and other textiles each year, wearing each garment an average of just seven times. And the more we buy, the more we throw away. Australians are currently disposing of 6,000 kilograms of fashion and textile waste every 10 minutes, and while some of it may go to op shops, only about 15 per cent of donations are actually sold again locally. The rest is turned into rags — or if it is poor quality, it goes to landfill where it may take 200 years to break down. Home sewing back in fashion Bucking this trend is the growing resurgence in home sewing. "There was an extended period I think when sewing just wasn't very fashionable," she said.
Ralph Metzner's Blog Francisco Varela Francisco Javier Varela García (September 7, 1946 – May 28, 2001) was a Chilean biologist, philosopher, and neuroscientist who, together with his teacher Humberto Maturana, is best known for introducing the concept of autopoiesis to biology, and for co-founding the Mind and Life Institute to promote dialog between science and Buddhism. Life and career[edit] Varela was born in 1946 in Santiago in Chile, the son of Corina María Elena García Tapia and Raúl Andrés Varela Rodríguez.[1] After completing secondary school at the Liceo Aleman del Verbo Divino in Santiago (1951–1963), like his mentor Humberto Maturana, Varela temporarily studied medicine at the Pontifical Catholic University of Chile and graduated with a degree in biology from the University of Chile. He later obtained a Ph.D. in biology at Harvard University. His thesis, defended in 1970 and supervised by Torsten Wiesel, was titled Insect Retinas: Information processing in the compound eye. In 1987, Varela, along with R.
TFP - Sociedade Brasileira de Defesa da Tradição, Família e Propriedade Gardening Australia - Fact Sheet: Seed Savers Seed Savers Presenter: Jerry Coleby-Williams, 25/11/2004 In Byron Bay in NSW, a garden has been developed that contains a diversity of useful and edible plants. In many ways these plants represent a gift from generations of gardeners who have saved the seeds from year to year. A seed is a message from the past and a promise for the future. This garden is supported by many volunteers from across the country, and combined has one of the best educational gardens in Australia. There is an amazing variety of vegetables in catalogues of over a hundred years ago. The development of food plants can be represented by a ladder; plants on the bottom rung are the unimproved wild species utilised by ancient man and contained the widest genetic variability that will ever exist. All that is required to save seed is some patience. Michel and Jude began growing some of these varieties in their own garden to learn how to grow them and to find out what they were like.
