#Sustainability in numbers: New method for estimating nutrient stocks, flows in agriculture A quantitative model for measuring sustainability in the Finnish agricultural sector has been developed in a new thesis. The new model challenges the OECD method which is used currently
when evaluating areas of potential pollution from nutrients. Research scientist Natalia Kuosmanen at MTT Agrifood Research Finland says defining sustainability quantitatively is challenging due to variety of meanings attached to this commonly used concept.
What gets measured gets done as the saying goes. The same truth applies to sustainability.
Can we define sustainability and assess it if we do not have the exact means to measure it?
Kuosmanen asks. New frontiers in ecological economyin her thesis Kuosmanen used established methods of frontier estimation to evaluate sustainability performance of Finnish dairy farms.
The methods are applied commonly for productivity and efficiency analysis in banking and industry. Moreover her thesis include a new dynamic approach to model nutrient stocks and flows.
The stocks and outflows from the stock calculated using the dynamic model could be utilized in sustainability assessment as indicators of environmental pressure from agriculture.

even if corporate sustainability wasn't as big as it is becoming? My sense is that the answer is yes,
whether consumers should pay for all of the recycling costs. Some argue that retailers and manufacturers should pay for part of it to hold accountable all involved parties.
The current proposal places the recycling fee at the retail level and it is likely that retailers will simply charge the extra cost to consumers.
Of course producers have the responsibility to contribute a small part of their earning to the annual operation cost of the e waste recycling plant that will have our e waste properly dismantled
Several other U s. states charge e waste recycling fees to manufacturers. Right now, about 80%of Hong kong s e waste is exported to other cities and countries.
Your approach is to create materials that fit into nature s recycling system. We have a plastic that s alive a living polymer.
You say mushrooms are nature s recycling system. Explain that. In general most of the things in plants that are hard to recycle,

it doesn necessarily highlight the potential that additive manufacturing might have for the environment at a time where more automakers are shifting over to hybrid engines and green technologies.
Recently the emergence of green technology markets of products such as direct drive wind turbine power systems hybrid and electric vehicles and energy storage units have increased the demand for permanent magnets.
of life-a cellular recycling unit with a role in many diseases. The proteasome complex is present in all multicellular organisms,
Blocking the proteasome prevents this regulated recycling of amino acids and triggers controlled cell death, particularly in fast-dividing cells typical of cancer.
"Our study zooms in to display the proteasome complex-a recycling unit which plays a critical role in our cells-in far greater detail than we have seen ever before in the electron microscope.

so developing new products that can do this is a big challenge in environmental remediation, "said Dr. Xianbiao Wang, one of the authors of the study from Anhui Jianzhu University in China."
That would be interesting for the recycling of plastics, as well, where the sensor could identify shredded materials according to their color information,
Unlike factory and vehicle emissions, wildfire smoke is regulated not by tailpipe scrubbers, catalytic converters or other pollution-mitigating applications.
Of course, this is still contingent upon the strength and sustainability of economic recovery which is still very much in the air e
