  • Ealr, Volume 34, Number 3
    Boston College Environmental Affairs Law Review Volume 34 Number 3 Smart Brownfields Redevelopment for the 21st Century Symposium Articles Converting Brownfield Environmental Negatives into Energy Positives Steven Ferrey [pages 417–478] Abstract: There is a new paradigm for evaluating landfills. While landfills are contaminated repositories of hazardous wastes, they also are brown- fields that can be redeveloped for renewable energy development. It is possible to view landfills through a new lens: As endowed areas of renew- able energy potential that can be magnets for a host of renewable devel- opment incentives. Landfills also are critical resource areas for the con- trol of greenhouse gases. Landfill materials decompose into methane, a greenhouse gas that is more than twenty times more potent—molecule for molecule—than carbon dioxide. This Article traces the molecular composition of waste in landfills, analyzing the chemical stew that brews in these repositories. Without doubt, landfills in America are brownfields. And many of these landfills leak and cause public health risks. This Arti- cle also analyzes the potential to utilize landfill gas for electricity produc- tion or as a thermal resource. It evaluates the energy potential at munici- pal sewage treatment plants and the ability to utilize the land at landfills to host wind turbines. The environmental regulatory envelope that sur- rounds landfill operation is explored. Also analyzed are the various incen- tives that foster renewable energy development and are applicable to landfill brownfields development. These include tax credits, tax-pref- erenced financing, renewable energy credits under state renewable port- folio standard (RPS) systems in twenty-two states, and direct renewable trust fund subsidies in sixteen states, as well as net metering available in forty states.

  • Bovine Benefactories: an Examination of the Role of Religion in Cow Sanctuaries Across the United States
    BOVINE BENEFACTORIES: AN EXAMINATION OF THE ROLE OF RELIGION IN COW SANCTUARIES ACROSS THE UNITED STATES _______________________________________________________________ A Dissertation Submitted to the Temple University Graduate Board _______________________________________________________________ In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY ________________________________________________________________ by Thomas Hellmuth Berendt August, 2018 Examing Committee Members: Sydney White, Advisory Chair, TU Department of Religion Terry Rey, TU Department of Religion Laura Levitt, TU Department of Religion Tom Waidzunas, External Member, TU Deparment of Sociology ABSTRACT This study examines the growing phenomenon to protect the bovine in the United States and will question to what extent religion plays a role in the formation of bovine sanctuaries. My research has unearthed that there are approximately 454 animal sanctuaries in the United States, of which 146 are dedicated to farm animals. However, of this 166 only 4 are dedicated to pigs, while 17 are specifically dedicated to the bovine. Furthermore, another 50, though not specifically dedicated to cows, do use the cow as the main symbol for their logo. Therefore the bovine is seemingly more represented and protected than any other farm animal in sanctuaries across the United States. The question is why the bovine, and how much has religion played a role in elevating this particular animal above all others. Furthermore, what constitutes a sanctuary? Does

These include not only literary representations of animals (from Aesop’s Fables to Will Self’s Great Apes), not only dramatic representations of animals (from Aristophanes’ The Frogs to Shaeffer’s Equus to Albee’s The Goat), not only animal performances in circuses and on stage, but also such ubiquitous or isolated social practices as pet-keeping, cock-fighting, dog shows, equestrian displays, rodeos, bull-fighting, animal sacrifice, hunting, animal slaughter, and meat-eating. We will study plays and films that explore the ways our interaction with animals shapes our accounts of the human, the “other” (including the racial and ethnic other), and the world.

  • Don't Blame the Deer - the New York Times
    Don't Blame the Deer - The New York Times https://topics.blogs.nytimes.com/2008/04/21/dont-blame-the-deer/ Don’t Blame the Deer By Matthew Scully April 21, 2008 6:01 pm In the Washington area, we are always hearing about the deer problem faced by suburban communities. The main complaint is the danger they pose to traffic. I wrote a piece on the subject in The Washington Post and received a flurry of letters from people angry at my seeming indifference to human safety, one woman telling me about her friends’ daughter who had died in a deer-related car accident. Among the lesser complaints is that the deer are known to avail themselves of shrubbery adorning people’s finely kept gardens, remorselessly nibbling away at the petunias and azaleas. It is a serious and complicated situation, and I don’t claim to have all the answers. The first question a reasonable person asks is why are deer suddenly darting into highways, like the one I saw writhing on an icy Route 267 in northern Virginia a few years ago. It’s not as if they are irresistibly drawn to busy roads and terrifying cars and lights. If you were a deer, you would stay as far clear of highways and busy roads as you could, and that’s exactly what deer do when left the alternative. That deer I saw had simply been looking for food, water and other deer, having been frightened off from somewhere else by trucks and dynamite and bulldozers. Or, as in the case of a friend of mine who collided with a deer further out near Leesburg, Virginia, the deer spring into busy unfenced roads in flight from hunters.

    Volume 1 Number 1 (2007): 2-37 http://www.infactispax.org/journal/ Words Matter: Exposing the Camouflaged Violence of Hunting Rhetoric Heidi A. Huse Assistant Professor Department of English University of Tennessee at Martin [email protected] Until we extend our circle of compassion to all living things, we ourselves will not find peace. Albert Schweitzer1 To stay with the concept of power dominant in our current situation…helps guarantee the defeat of other ways of living…To remain within the existing cultural values helps ensure that nothing else will be possible. To seek ways of embodying other understandings of power makes it possible that being as domination and control will not have the last word. Sharon D. Welch, A Feminist Ethic of Risk2 Volume 1 Number 1 (2007): 2-37 2 http://www.infactispax.org/journal/ It’s easy to invoke words of kindness and peace; however, too often we do so without seriously considering exactly what we mean by what we say or what the implications might be of our words. In the contentious age in which we live, when virtually anyone can voice their views on TV or on the radio or Internet, we insist on the truthfulness of our personal standpoints—and the erroneous thinking of those with other views—often with vitriol in our voices that contradicts our self-proclaimed peaceful intentions. I’m as guilty of such action as anyone else; however, despite my own hypocrisy, as a university writing teacher, I regularly challenge students to think about what they mean when they make public their professions of belief, endorsement, or disagreement in the classroom or in their writing.

  • Miller and Juresic on Joining the Conversation
    On Joining the Conversation Richard E. Miller and Ann Jurecic The rhetoric scholar and literary critic Kenneth Burke described the exchange of academic ideas as a never-ending parlor conversation, “Imagine,” he wrote, that you enter a parlor. You come late. When you arrive, others have long preceded you, and they are engaged in a heated discussion, a discussion too heated for them to pause and tell you exactly what it is about. In fact, the discussion had already begun long before any of them got there, so that no one present is qualified to retrace for you all the steps that had gone before. You listen for a while, until you decide that you have caught the tenor of the argument; then you put in your oar. Someone answers; you answer him; another comes to your defense; another aligns himself against you, to either the embarrassment or gratification of your opponent, depending upon the quality of your ally’s assistance. However, the discussion is interminable. The hour grows late, you must depart. And you do depart, with the discussion still vigorously in progress.1 With this extended metaphor, Burke offers us a way to think about how to write academic arguments. Preparing to write a paper about a topic that is new to you is like entering a parlor where a “heated discussion” is already taking place. For a while, all you can do is read what others have written and try to follow the debate. Then, after a bit, you begin to figure out what’s being discussed and what the different positions, conflicts, and alliances are.
