Corporate social responsibility (CSR) is a management concept that helps companies be socially accountable to different stakeholders, including the public. CSR activities also allow companies to integrate social and environmental concerns in their business operations. Continue Reading
The built environment is responsible for half of all greenhouse gas emissions. The construction and demolition of buildings produce 40% of all waste. If the global population reaches 9.6 billion by 2050, natural resources of three equivalent planets will be needed to maintain the current lifestyle. Continue Reading
In the United States, solar energy is booming. It’s one of the most heavily funded renewable energy sources. In 2019 alone, the solar industry generated $18.7 billion of investment in the US economy. By the end of September 2019, the US had deployed over 2 million solar photovoltaic (PV) systems. Also, most major electricity grid studies show solar energy expanding significantly over time.

Water has been taken for granted for centuries. It wasn’t until recently, rainwater collection became a thing amongst industries and even entire cities.
Check our infograph below to know about the five different benefits of rainwater collection:
Often, farm owners get confused over whether biogas produced at farms should be considered a renewable or a non-renewable source of energy.
So, for them, and everyone at the back:
Biogas produced at farms through anaerobic digestion is considered to be a renewable source of energy because it’s production and use-cycle is continuous, and it generates no-net carbon dioxide.
Each year, dairy farms in the U.S produce more than 335 million tons of dry matter waste.
That’s just dry matter.
While manure is an important component, farm waste in dairy operations also includes silage wrap, silage effluent, forage waste and milk house waste.

The progressive leadership of New York; Governor Andrew Cuomo and Mayor Bill de Blasio have pushed efforts to make the “Green New Deal” a reality. The state announced in June that it aims to meet 70% of the city’s energy needs using renewable energy by 2030. By 2040, this figure is expected to reach 100%. And in April the New York City Council passed an ordinance that requested new buildings to be covered with solar panels or grass/vegetation.
This blog is for those responsible community leaders who want to play their part in energy conservation solutions. There are some things you should know before you install solar panels in your community.
How to Deal with Climate Change Flooding Caused By Abnormal Rainfall Events Through Better Stormwater Management
Due to drastic climate changes, the precipitation levels in New York City are expected to rise by 8% by the 2020s. Sea levels are also rising at a rate of 1.2 inches per decade—that’s almost twice the observed global rate.
Climate change has lead community leaders to increase their efforts in stormwater management. During seasons of heavy rainfall the ground becomes saturated due to the excess moisture. The run-off water carries debris, bacteria and other pollutants along with it and may damage equipment. The excess rainfall also leads to flooding in some areas.
