Numéro de charité: 866434640RR0001 Side-By-Side: OFF-THE-GRID An Introduction Welcome to Side-By-Side: OFF THE GRID. We are excited that you will be organizing this event in support of the work of the amazing partners who are supported by PWRDF, and hope that you find it to be an exciting and rewarding experience. Side-By-Side is a chance for youth to come together and learn about global justice issues, and we hope this program will motivate youth in your faith community to become more involved. This version of Side-By-Side is a complete 24 hour (plus) program which focuses on the environmental and social implications of our dependence on: electricity, resource extraction, climate change, warfare, and pollution by challenging participants to go off the electricity grid for 24 hours. It is designed to be a fun, informative and exciting opportunity for youth to become engaged in the issues from a variety of perspectives, and to use what they have learned to make positive changes in their communities. Side-By-Side is... • A chance for youth to come together and explore the underlying causes of environmental and social justice issues • An opportunity for youth to learn how they can make a difference in their community and in their world • A forum to empower youth to make socially responsible decisions about how they will live their lives • A place for youth to learn and take back to the community solutions to make positive changes for the environment and social justice • A time to pray, act and give (by raising funds) for the development, relief, refugee and justice work of PWRDF / justgeneration.ca Thank you for taking the time to organize this event – it is through your support that you’ll be able to work with PWRDF partners to create a more just society. CONTACT US AT ANY TIME DURING BUSINESS HOURS WITH ANY QUESTIONS [email protected] or call 1-866-308-7973 x 366 1 Side-By-Side: OFF-THE-GRID Leader’s Guide: Getting Started We’re grateful that you’ve decided to run Off-The-Grid. Organizing an event such as this can seem overwhelming at times. Remember that all the activities and possibilities in this book are just ideas! Feel free to adapt, scale up or down, and make Off-The-Grid your own. And don’t hesitate to drop us a line or give us a call! We’re here to help!!! Here are some tips to get you started: BEFORE STARTING - THINGS TO THINK THROUGH: 1. Which age group will your event be directed towards? While intergenerational events can be a great success, consider one of the following age ranges: 13-16, 16-24 or 24-30+. With a younger audience, more role-playing and active games may work well, while more discussion and reflection may be best for a “more experienced” crowd. 2. Where will your event take place? A church hall, community centre, gymnasium or auditoriums are all possible. If you are aiming for a 100% fast from electricity, consider a camping trip, or a space with lots of windows. 3. When will your event be? Pick a time when youth aren’t too busy with exams or other activities – the summer may seem like a good idea, but youth often have other commitments during this time. A weekend during the school year outside mid-term or exam time may be best. Consider one of the following dates: • Day to Eradicate Poverty - Oct 17 of every year • Earth Day – celebrated by some on April 22 or on the Vernal Equinox (around March 21) • Feast Day of St. Francis (Patron Saint of animals & the environment) - October 4 • World Fair Trade Day - Second Saturday of May • During the Season of Lent • International Development Week - First Full week of February – see http://www.acdi-cida.gc.ca/idw 4. How many participants will you have? Aim high! However, make sure to pick activities and locations that are suitable for your actual audience size. If you need more participants, encourage youth to invite friends. Or, consider holding an “Ecumenical Challenge” – where groups from other local Churches are invited to participate (they may choose to raise funds for organizations within their own Church). 5. What is your goal for fundraising? $30 per person? $100 per person? $1000 total? Pick a realistic goal and get youth excited to achieve it! 6. We’re here to help! Contact justgeneration.ca staff (at [email protected]) if you need more pledge forms, t-shirts, information on incentives, facilitator guides, or even some ideas on what would work well for your group. We can also provide you with further information on making Off- The-Grid an “Ecumenical Challenge”, including which organizations we work with ecumenically on a national level. 2 THE EVENT ITSELF – GREAT POSSIBILITIES! 1. Prizes: To thank participants for supporting our work, PWRDF will provide environmentally conscious prizes to participants who collect certain levels of pledge support. Show these prizes to participants when they sign up for Side-by-Side: Off-the-Grid! (Please see Appendix 11, page 62-64) for prize categories and order forms. 2. Pledges: Before the event, participants may collect pledges to show their support for PWRDF and the work of partners around the world. It is up to you to decide if participants will need to collect a minimum number of pledges (say $10, $20 or $50 each to participate). Please find enclosed reproducible pledge collection forms. After all forms are completed, please send them along with a cheque (made payable to PWRDF, indicating Side-By-Side on the cheque) in the amount of your fundraising total (please do not send cash) to: The Primate’s World Relief and Development Fund Attn: justgeneration.ca 80 Hayden Street Toronto, ON M4Y 3G2 3. PowerPoints: In many of the exercises in Off-The-Grid, we have included ways that teams may earn ‘PowerPoints’. PowerPoints are meant to encourage friendly, non-violent competition between smaller teams within your larger group. It’s important to note that some leaders may wish to try alternatives to this more ‘competitive model’. A few suggestions might be to set a goal for how many PowerPoints the whole group could earn, rather than doing team competition. Alternately, a leader might also set a group fundraising goal (with a prize), or set a goal for how many ‘pledgers’ the whole group might find. Whatever the case, we encourage leaders to assess the best model for your group in order to make things fun, engaging, and nonviolent. We also encourage leaders to select teams with pastoral care and group dynamics in mind. However you approach PowerPoints, try not to let the competitive aspect override the whole message of Off- The-Grid! 4. Incentives: In order to encourage fundraising for PWRDF, we’re offering incentives. For a certain amount of funds raised, Off-The-Grid participants are eligible for incentive prizes, which we’ve hand-picked from 10,000 Villages and several ‘green’ stores. We’ll ship the ‘goods’ in 4-6 weeks after we’ve received your order form for them. You may wish to start your fundraising early – even several months before the actual event in order to receive prizes in time for the end of the event! 5. Free T-Shirts: If you let us know that you’re running an “Off-The-Grid”, we’ll send you 2 free fair- trade t-shirts (The order form for these is in Appendix 11, pages 60-61). You may wish to use these ‘freebies’ as prizes or else as promotional tools to let folks know about Off-The-Grid. You may also order extra t-shirts if you’d like to! 6. Extra Resources: PWRDF and it’s Youth Initiative justgeneration.ca have a whole range of resources that can boost the educational potential of your event. Don’t hesitate to drop us a line. Perhaps you want link Off-The-Grid with another focus such as HIV and AIDS, emergency response, or refugees. We can help. Let us know what you’re thinking, and we’ll let you know what we have. So, now that you’ve thought these things through it’s time to consider what your event might look like. The next page offers a suggested schedule, followed by a checklist, and a step-by-step guide to get your creative juices flowing! Good luck! Our thoughts and prayers are with you! 3 Side-By-Side: OFF-THE-GRID Suggested Schedule Time Activity 9:30 am Arrival (with light refreshments) 9:45 am Welcome, Explanation of day and earth prayers 10:00 am Icebreakers 10:45 am Presentation about power issues AND/OR Watch power-related movie 12:15 pm Go Off-the-Grid! 12:30 pm Brainstorming 1:00 pm Calculate your Carbon footprint 1:30 pm Lunch 2:30 pm Spiritual reflection and discussion 3:00 pm Role-playing: either Amazing Race or Reverse Creation 4:30 pm Design and Build Challenge 6:00 pm Supper 7:00 pm Develop a take-home action plan 7:45 pm Create a power-related skit or God, St.

  • Radical Technology Development by Incumbent Firms Daimler's Efforts to Develop Fuel Cell Technology in Historical Perspective
    To be presented at the 10th international conference of the Greening of Industry Network June 23-26, Göteborg, Sweden Radical Technology Development by Incumbent Firms Daimler's efforts to develop Fuel Cell technology in historical perspective A paper for: "Corporate Social Responsibility - Governance for Sustainability" 10th International Conference of the Greening of Industry Network June 23-26, 2002 in Göteborg, Sweden Abstract This paper discusses how an established industry as the automotive industry has reacted to the emergence of a radical technology, the fuel cell, with opportunities to answer several environmental concerns. Given that established firms (incumbents) are likely to respond conservative to radical technologies, the automotive industry forms an outstanding case given the large investments it has spent on developing fuel cell vehicles. In this paper a detailed look is taken at one car manufacturer, which was the first to commit serious resources to FC technology: DaimlerBenz/Chrysler. The development of the FC program will be discussed historically in four periods, each distinct with respect to the position and viability of fuel cell vehicles (FCV). The paper draws conclusions concerning the R&D process of technology diffusion within Daimler, the identification of milestones, and assessment of driving forces. It is concluded that Daimler’s activities form a serious ambition to bring FCV to commercial production. Broad environmental concerns are the most important driver for this ambition, together with remarkable technical

  • The Heralds of Hydrogen: the Economicfc Heading Sectors That Heading Are Driving the Hydrogen Economyfc Subheading in Subheading Europe
    January 2021 The Heralds of Hydrogen: The economicFC Heading sectors that Heading are driving the hydrogen economyFC Subheading in Subheading Europe I. Introduction The 2019 International Energy Agency (IEA) report on the future of hydrogen highlighted the renewed interest in hydrogen as a potential pathway to a zero-carbon future.1 Since then, many new projects have started and many investment programmes reaching into the billions of euros have been announced, such as the earmarked fund of €9 billion for hydrogen as part of the COVID-19 recovery effort by the German government.2 Yet, uncertainty remains about the precise role of hydrogen in European visions of the energy transition. This raises questions about the support base of the hydrogen economy in Europe. What prompts companies as diverse as for instance Airbus, BP, Enagás, Fincantieri, Linde, Siemens, Škoda, SNCF, and Thyssenkrupp to become members of hydrogen associations? Which economic sectors stand out among supporters of the hydrogen transition? What is the role of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs)? These are all relevant questions. The momentum for hydrogen comes at a time when policymakers at the subnational, national and supranational level are faced with the task of reviving their economies in response to the COVID-19 crisis. The European Commission revealed its official hydrogen strategy in July 2020.3 Hydrogen is supposed to become one of the key pillars of the European Green Deal, announced just before the COVID-19 crisis started. Many national policymakers are working on hydrogen too, with recent strategies published in France and Germany, for example.

Public policies and programmes for FC development 8. Conclusions and policy recommendations 9. References 10. Annex 1. Industry overview 11. Annex 2. Web resources 1 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY In the last few years, both public media and policy makers have been increasingly interested in fuel cells, as a technological option or even "the" solution to the significant environmental impacts of the transport sector. This technology is said to have the potential to reduce local air emissions, greenhouse gases (GHGs) emissions and the oil dependency of our economies, while offering the same performances of the conventional vehicle. The automotive and fuel cell industry has even announced fuel cells vehicles to be available on the market by 2003-2004. At the Climate Change Campaign of the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF), we are interested in identifying and supporting innovative technologies that can address the growing climate impacts of energy and transports. In particular, the latter represents one of the greatest challenges for climate protection across the Atlantic. In Europe, transport is the fastest growing source of CO2 emissions. Even with the European car industry commitment of a 25% improvement in fleet's average fuel economy, CO2 emissions from passenger cars are expected to be between 20-30% above 1990 levels, by 2010.
