I am sharing this because American Forests is putting youth right up front in our work. In our earlier years, we were focused on educating and activating youth. But that had slipped away entirely by the time I joined the organization three years ago. While it has forced us to restore some lost skills and relationships, we have committed to creating a strong place for youth partners in our programs. One embodiment of this commitment can be seen in the U.S. Chapter of 1t.org, which we lead with the World Economic Forum. We secured the Girl Scouts of the USA and Jane Goodall Institute’s youth Young leaders stand tall organization, Roots and Shoots, to serve as inaugural members of the chapter’s for forests and climate stakeholder council.

  • SCIENTIFIC ANALYSIS of an ARTIFACT from a PRESUMED EPISODE of SPONTANEOUS HUMAN COMBUSTION: a Possible Cllse for Biological Nuclear Reactions
    Report SCIENTIFIC ANALYSIS OF AN ARTIFACT FROM A PRESUMED EPISODE OF SPONTANEOUS HUMAN COMBUSTION: A Possible CllSe for Biological Nuclear Reactions M. Sue Benford, R.N., M.A. & Larry E. Arnold ABSTRACT Spontaneous Human Combustion (SHC) is defined as a phenomenon that causes a human body to burn without a known, identifiable ignition source external to the body. While science recognizes scores of materials that can spontaneously combust, the human body is not among them. Although numerous theories have been posited to explain SHC, very little, if any, detailed scientific analysis of an actual SHC artifact has occurred. This study was designed to scientif­ ically evaluate a known SHC artifact (Mott book jacket) and compare the findings to those of an identical book jacket (control sample). The results indicated significant visual, microscopic, atomic and molecular differences between the blackened front cover of the Mott book jacket and the unaffected back cover. The authors posit a theory for the idiopathic thermogenic event involving a biologically-induced nuclear explosion. This theory is capable of explaining most, if not all, of the scientific findings. KEYWORDS: Spontaneous combustion, biological, nuclear, reaction Subtle Energies & Energy Medicine • Volume 8 • Number 3 • Page 195 BACKGROUND pontaneous Human Combustion (SHC) is defined as a phenomenon that causes a human body to blister, smoke, or burn without a known, Sidentifiable ignition source external to that body. While science recognizes scores of materials that can spontaneously combust under certain conditions, such as damp hay, linseed oil-soaked fabric, and the water-reactive metal magnesium, the human body is not among them.

    Ecosia launches first ever Out-of-Home and TV advertising campaign to let new users know they can plant trees with their searches - no matter how weird The green search engine is launching its first international campaign on April 5th across 12 European cities with JCDecaux and Sky Media ● Ecosia’s ‘Weird Search Requests’ campaign will be live in France, Germany, the Netherlands and the UK ● Its concept expands on award-winning brand video created by students at Germany’s Filmakademie Baden-Wuerttemberg ● The campaign has been developed together with JCDecaux’s Nurture Programme - which helps start-ups and scale-ups across Europe to scale their brand - and Sky Media in the UK ● With more than 120 million trees already funded by users’ searches globally, Ecosia expects the campaign across 12 European cities to generate significant growth for tree planting Paris, France, 31 st March, 2021: Green search engine Ecosia is launching its first major international brand campaign in cities across Europe, to let millions of potential new users know that they can turn their searches, no matter how weird, into trees. The user-generated campaign speaks directly to users in each city, by displaying searches they have shared via social media. It has been developed together with JCDecaux, the world’s leading out-of-home advertising company, and Sky Media in the UK. The concept stems from an award-winning brand video created by students at Germany’s Filmakademie Baden-Wuerttemberg, originally the students’ own initiative for a class assignment. It shows Ecosia users making unusual searches on the app, which leads to a tree sprouting up wherever the search was made - ranging from a bus to a lecture hall - and ending with the words: “No matter how weird your search request, we’ll plant the trees anyway .” The film won a number of awards, including silver in the prestigious Young Director Award award at Cannes.

  • Research Will Help Land Managers Take Risk-Analysis Approach to New
    Research will help land managers take risk- analysis approach to new wildfire reality 8 January 2020, by Steve Lundeberg Now, Dunn notes, "we suppress 97 or 98% of fires such that we experience the 2 or 3% that are really bad, where we have no chance of successful suppression because they're just so explosive." But those numbers over time can be inverted, he says. "We can choose to have more beneficial fires whose impacts aren't as consequential and less of those really bad ones, eventually," Dunn said. "It could ultimately mean more fire, but more of the right kind of fire in the right places for the right reasons." Taylor Creek and Klondike Fires, Rogue-Siskiyou NF, Using fire-prone landscapes of the Pacific OR, 2018. Credit: Kari Greer Northwest as their study areas, Dunn and collaborators developed a trio of complementary, risk-based analytics tools—quantitative wildfire risk assessment, mapping of suppression difficulty, and New digital tools developed by Oregon State atlases of locations where fires might be controlled. University will enable land managers to better adapt to the new reality of large wildfires through "These tools can be a foundation for adapting fire analytics that guide planning and suppression management to this new reality," Dunn said.

We focused on the large-scale activities like fire suppression and logging which resulted in landscape level changes. We divided the region into two main forests types; wet, like the forests in the Pacific Northwest, and dry, like the forests in the Sierra Nevada and Cascade ranges. In the wet forests, the history of intensive logging shaped the current forest structure, while firesuppression played a more major role in the dry forests. Next, we looked at how historical management has influenced new forest management challenges, like catastrophic fires, decreased heterogeneity, and climate change. We then synthesizedwhat current management actions are performed to address theseissues, like thinning to reduce fuels or improve structural heterogeneity, and restoration after large-scale disturbances. Lastly, we touch on some major policies that have influenced changesin management. We note a trend towards ecosystem management that considers a forest's historical disturbance regime.

Montana’s forestlands support our economy, our communities, our homes, and our lives. Forests have always been important to life in Montana. Have you ever sat under a tall pine tree, looked up at its branches sweeping the sky, and wondered what was happen- ing when that tree first sprouted? Some trees in Montana are 300 or 400 years old—the oldest living creatures in the state. They rooted before horses came to the Plains. Think of all that has happened within their life spans. Trees and forests are a big part of life in Montana. They support our economy, employ our people, build our homes, protect our rivers, provide habitat for wildlife, influence poli- tics, and give us beautiful places to play and be quiet.

  • Ecosia at Your Faculty
    Ecosia at your Faculty Imagine your faculty could contribute to reforestation around the world with every internet search that is being done at the faculty. This opportunity can easily be offered by Ecosia. Ecosia is a search engine, just like Google and was founded in 2009 in Berlin. Like most search engines, it makes its money by clicks on advertisements. However in contrast to other search engines, Ecosia uses 80% or more of its profit to plant trees. This way Ecosia is effectively fighting deforestation worldwide. Ecosia calculated that on average every 45 searches are sufficient to plant one tree. So far, they were able to plant over 120 Million trees (February 2021). Ecosia is very transparent when it comes to the usage/storage of data, about privacy and financial reporting. Ecosia on campus is an initiative led by students around the world to implement Ecosia as the standard search engine at their Universities. Over 175,000 trees have already been financed by students' searches! With your help as faculty we’ll be able to plant thousands more! In January 2021, Maastricht University (as the first University in The Netherlands) has set the sustainable search engine Ecosia as the default search engine on 800 Student Desktops (SDT) in both library locations and the Randwyck Computer Facilities. To make UM even more sustainable we are planning to extend this project across all faculties. The sustainable search engine is easy to implement and it is possible to install it on every other UM workstation. For more information about the change at UM please refer to: https://www.maastrichtuniversity.nl/news/ecosia-now-default-800-student-desktops How to switch your standard search engine to Ecosia? The switch is very easy.
