The document discusses the growing problem of e-waste in America. Expanding technology leads to more electronic waste, which contains hazardous chemicals that pollute the environment when disposed of in landfills. E-waste makes up 70% of toxic waste in landfills in the US. Americans discard over 130,000 computers and 130 million cell phones each day. The document promotes recycling e-waste through Possitivity Green to protect public health, create jobs, and help people with disabilities while providing a low-cost solution to disposal of obsolete electronics.
1) The document analyzes the top 20 largest earthquakes in US history by magnitude and examines patterns in their location, dates, and likelihood of causing tsunamis.
2) It finds that over half (55%) of the largest earthquakes resulted in tsunamis and most major quakes occur in the fall months.
3) While the 4 most recent major quakes ranged from magnitude 7.8-7.9, there is no direct evidence that global warming influences earthquake occurrence.
- The document discusses intelligent facades that can improve sustainability and comfort in buildings. It focuses on external movable shading systems (EMSS) as an intelligent facade solution for commercial buildings in India.
- EMSS like movable louvers and fins can effectively block unwanted solar radiation and modulate window properties to meet indoor comfort needs. Installing EMSS externally requires less air conditioning and provides more comfortable surface temperatures compared to high-performance glazing alone.
- For widespread adoption in India, EMSS must address issues like dust, temperature extremes, and costs. Automating and integrating EMSS with controls could further improve energy efficiency and indoor comfort.
