Democratizing the future (Philips Design)Luann Liu
1) The document discusses the need to move beyond a market-led, consumer-focused approach and adopt a more socially-led approach to drive creativity and growth.
2) It argues that new technologies enable more radical, context-based innovation through customized services and systems that can deliver sustainable solutions.
3) Shifting emphasis from consumption to services and focusing both on consumer needs and social needs means rethinking how we view and engage with the future in more open, collaborative ways.
This document examines the need for a systemic transformation in how cities are developed to make them more sustainable and beneficial to human development and the environment. It discusses how cities have evolved over time from centers of trade, production and social organization to places that now threaten biodiversity and natural resources through pollution, waste and unsustainable growth patterns. The document proposes a vision of "rejuvenative cities" that would take a holistic approach to city planning and development focused on positively contributing to both human well-being and planetary health.
This document provides 30 tips for starting a food revolution at schools to improve school meals and food education. It suggests educating yourself about the issues, finding supporters, auditing current school food, meeting with officials in charge, setting goals and a plan of action, addressing suppliers, keeping the community informed and involved, fundraising, conducting taste tests, providing teacher training, integrating food into classrooms, serving fresh and local foods, focusing on proper mealtimes, growing food, celebrating successes, and remaining persistent through challenges. The overall goal is to replace junk food with healthier, fresher options and improve nutrition education for students.

It suggests educating yourself about the issues, finding supporters, auditing current school food, meeting with officials in charge, setting goals and a plan of action, addressing suppliers, keeping the community informed and involved, fundraising, conducting taste tests, providing teacher training, integrating food into classrooms, hosting cooking classes, making healthy options appealing, serving seasonal local food, growing food, celebrating successes, and remaining committed long-term. The overall goal is to replace junk food with fresh cooked meals and improve nutrition education for students.
1. A one-year sampling campaign was conducted to characterize particulate matter (PM) inside the refectory of Santa Maria Delle Grazie Church in Milan, home to Leonardo Da Vinci's famous painting "The Last Supper".
2. Fine (PM2.5) and coarse (PM2.5-10) particulate matter samples were simultaneously collected indoors and outdoors on a weekly basis. Indoor PM2.5 and PM2.5-10 concentrations were reduced by 88% and 94%, respectively, compared to outdoor levels, due to the refectory's ventilation system.
3. Organic matter dominated indoor PM2.5 levels. Source apportionment modeling found that

Le slides dell\'intervento tenuto il 18 aprile 2011 presso la sala del CNR dal Dott. Invernizzi, epidemiologo che ha condotto uno studio sui danni prodotti dal traffico di prossimità a Milano. Questi dati dovrebbero essere conosciuti da tutti, a cominciare dagli amministratori pubblici. L\'evento è stato organizzato dal Movimento 5 Stelle di Milano.
Gli effetti dell'inquinamento derivante da traffico ed inceneritori sono allarmanti. Tutti i cittadini dovrebbero essere informati al riguardo, ed i politici non dovrebbero permettersi di prendere nessuna scelta senza coinvolgere le popolazioni interessate.
