Founded in 1966, the Institute enjoys an international reputation based on the quality of its work and the rigour with which it applies academic skills to real world challenges. Its purpose is to understand and explain the world, and to try to change it – to influence as well as to inform. IDS hosts five dynamic research programmes, five popular postgraduate courses, and a family of world- class web-based knowledge services. These three spheres are integrated in a unique combination – as a development knowledge hub, IDS is connected into and is a convenor of networks throughout the world. The Institute is home to approximately 80 researchers, 50 knowledge services staff, 50 support staff and about 150 students at any one time. But the IDS community extends far beyond, encompassing an extensive network of partners, former staff and students across the development community worldwide.

Media Coverage Supporting Bottled Water on College Campuses
College Campus Toolkit Third Party Letters to the Editor Letters to the Editor & Articles Supporting Bottled Water The articles and letters below present arguments and positions in support of bottled water. They were published in newspapers and magazines and were not written by IBWA. These articles and letters provide some good examples of potential talking points and arguments, including the importance of consumer choice and the availability of healthy beverage options. College Campus Ban Related Campus Times: “Questioning the bottle ban” February 21, 2013 http://www.campustimes.org/2013/02/21/questioning-the-bottle-ban/ Roughly 16 universities across the United States and Canada have banned the sale of bottled water on their campuses, according to the “Ban the Bottle” campaign website. Team Green is hoping to add UR to that list. The on-campus discussion has focused mainly on whether bottled or tap water is better, with Team Green conducting taste tests and some student surveys. Unfortunately, that is not the real issue at hand. The real debate is about whether or not banning all bottled water sales is the right decision for this campus. It’s not. Environmentally, it would seem that banning all bottled water would reduce waste, but there are unseen consequences. First, it takes much more energy to make reusable water bottles than it does to make recyclable plastic water bottles. A 1994 article in “Environmental Management” demonstrated that you would need to use a standard, reusable plastic cup over 200 times in order for its energy impact — including dish washing — to be less than that of foam cups. -

Weber, M.A. University of Nebraska, 2021 Advisor: Effie Athanassopoulos Up until now there has been limited analysis and interpretation of the archaeological collections from excavations conducted on the UNL campus. Similarly, the historic development of this area of Lincoln has not been addressed fully in previous works. Overall, we lack a greater understanding of the historic material culture of the Great Plains region. -
Breweries Beer Bottles El Paso, Texas
Breweries and Beer Bottles at El Paso, Texas Bill Lockhart 2012 Chapter 5c Liquor Bottles and Brands Used at Juárez During Prohibition I © Bill Lockhart 2012 Chapter 5c Liquor Bottles and Brands Used at Juárez During Prohibition I Even though this is a book about breweries and beer bottles, the Juárez distilleries played a distinct and unique part in the Prohibition dance in the El Paso area. In addition, some of the bars had their own bottles. This sub-chapter will thus cover the whiskey containers that were used at night clubs in Juárez along with some of the ones from the distilleries. The remaining distillery will be discussed in Chapter 5d. Liquor Bottles Liquor bottles used at Juárez fall into two categories: 1) bottles used at specific cafés or bars; and 2) bottles from Juárez distilleries. Only a few bottles from the various clubs seem to have survived, although numerous bottles, trays, ash trays, and other items remain from the two largest distilleries. Bottles from Clubs Some of the clubs (cafés, bars, nightclubs) had individual-size bottles of liquor or wine made for them. These were ca. 1/10 pint by volume and were identified by paper labels. All of these are rare, and there were almost certainly many more than I have listed below. Café Francaise Although not referenced in the report, Lockhart and Olszewski (1995) discovered a flask at the El Paso Coliseum embossed “CAFÉ FRANCAISE (arch) / C. RIVA PETIT / CIUDAD JUAREZ (both horizontal) / MEXICO (inverted arch)” in a round plate (Figure 5c- 1). The flask was topped with a prescription finish reinforced by a thick ring below it (Figure 5c-2). -
Material Culture from the Wilson Farm Tenancy: Artifact Analysis
AT THE ROAD’S EDGE: FINAL ARCHAEOLOGICAL INVESTIGATIONS OF THE WILSON FARM TENANCY SITE 7 Material Culture from the Wilson Farm Tenancy: Artifact Analysis LABORATORY AND ANALYTICAL METHODS The URS laboratory in Burlington, New Jersey, processed the artifacts recovered from Site 7NC- F-94. All artifacts were initially cleaned, labeled, and bagged (throughout, technicians maintained the excavation provenience integrity of each artifact). Stable artifacts were washed in water with Orvis soap using a soft bristle brush, then air-dried; in some cases, on an individual basis, artifacts deemed too delicate to wash were dry brushed—this is often the case with badly deteriorated iron and bone objects considered noteworthy. Technicians then labeled items such as prehistoric lithics, historic ceramics, bone, glass, and some metal artifacts. Labeling was conducted using an acid free, conservation grade, .25mm Staedtler marking pen applied over a base coat of Acyloid B72 resin; once the ink dried, the label was sealed with a second layer of Acyloid B72. The information marked on the artifacts consisted of the provenience catalog number. Once the artifacts were processed, they were then inventoried in a Microsoft Access database. The artifacts were sorted according to functional groups and material composition in this inventory. Separate analyses were conducted on the artifacts and inventory data to answer site spatial and temporal questions. Outside consultants analyzed the floral and faunal materials. URS conducted soil flotation. In order to examine the spatial distributions of artifacts in the plowzone, we entered the data for certain artifact types into the Surfer 8.06.39 contouring and surface-mapping program. -

Doctorate Project Committee Acknowledgement I would like to express my greatest appreciation to my chair, Spencer Leineweber, who has helped me find the direction of my thesis, given me suggestions, and patiently assisted me in overcoming every obstacle. I could not have achieved this success without her. She inspires me to be a confident and independent thinker, and what I have learned from her will benefit me forever. I would also like to thank my other two committee members, Dr. William Chapman and Gail Suzuki-Jones, LEED AP. Dr. Chapman’s opinions from an interdisciplinary perspective have allowed me to look at my project from a new angle. Mrs. Suzuki-Jones, who is an energy analyst at the State of Hawai‘i, has been extremely supportive and informative in my journey of learning about waste stream and recycling. -
College Campus Toolkit
College Campus Toolkit Protect Your Right to Purchase Bottled Water The Healthiest Packaged Beverage Choice October 2016 Contents How to Use This Toolkit 3 Important Facts About Bottled Water 4 Planning Meetings With Interest Groups 6 Where to Find the Facts 7 How to Start a Petition 8 Using Social Networks 9 Letter to Editor (LTE) Template 10 Sample LTEs 14 Bottled Water Facts (PDF) 22 2 HOW TO USE THIS TOOLKIT A few colleges have restricted or banned access to bottled water on their campuses. This action, while on the surface might seem well-intended, will have negative health and environmental consequences, and are not in the public interest. New research shows when bottled water is not available in a vending machine, people choose other packaged beverages, which may contain sugar, caffeine, and other additives. They don’t necessarily go looking for a drinking water fountain. The results of a new UVM bottled water sales ban study supports that conclusion. The study: “The Unintended Consequences of Changes in Beverage Options and the Removal of Bottled Water on a University Campus,” published this month in AJPH, concluded that the bottled water sales ban at the University of Vermont (UVM) resulted in a significant increase (33 percent) in the consumption of sugary drinks and an increase (6 percent) in the amount of plastic bottles entering the waste stream. The International Bottled Water Association (IBWA) has developed this helpful toolkit to assist IBWA members, college students and staff, and private citizens in protecting their right to choose bottled water – a convenient, safe, and healthy packaged beverage. -
