“Why can repeated floods impede disaster recovery?”

Floods can cause terrible damage to communities. Homes are lost, streets are broken, and whole blocks are even rendered uninhabitable. While recovery can help repair this, if repeated floods come in, then everything can break down once more and lead to more problems. This is Why Repeated Floods Can Impede Disaster Recovery.

With the recent floods in Vermont, please consider sending finances to a vetted mutual aid group.

Why Selling Stuff You Don’t Need Before Moving is Good for the Environment

“Why is selling stuff you don’t need before moving good for the environment?”

Shipping items while moving uses resources such as fuel to power planes and gas to power trucks. The fewer items you ship, the fewer resources will have to be used. If you’re able to downsize and sell items you don’t need before moving, then you will lessen the environmental strain you’ll use while moving. This is Why Selling Stuff You Don’t Need Before Moving is Good for the Environment.

“How can people use conferences to receive advanced GIS training?”

People all over the world want to learn GIS. It’s a fascinating technology with uncountable applications, ranging from scientific research to policy analysis to art. One way to accomplish this is through GIS Training Conferences, where people can seek instruction in specialized portions of GIS. This can also lead to networking with other GIS professionals and long-lasting connections being built.

Why the U.S Land Grant Universities Should Pay Reparations

Why the U.S Land Grant Universities Should Pay Reparations

“Why should the U.S Land Grant Universities Pay Reparations?”
The U.S Land Grant Universities’ endowments were created by being granted land stolen by indigenous people to use as seed funding. The rightful owners of the land were given little-to-no compensation and many were thrust into generational poverty that they still suffer from. Since this action kick-started these schools (who now often have massive endowments), it’s only fitting that the U.S Land Grant Universities Should Pay Reparations.

Why Shifting More to Distributed Energy Resources Can Reduce the Possibility of a Nuclear Disaster

Why Shifting More to Distributed Energy Resources Can Reduce the Possibility of a Nuclear Disaster

“Why can shifting more to distributed energy resources reduce the possibility of a nuclear disaster?”

People use a variety of energy resources to supply their needs. The more people build renewable energy capacity, the less need there will be to rely on other forms of energy. Nuclear power is no exception, and the lower the reliance on nuclear the lower the possibility of a nuclear accident happening. This is Why Shifting More to Distributed Energy Resources Can Reduce the Possibility of a Nuclear Disaster.

With the largest power plant in Europe currently under Russian occupation, please sign the petition to establish a demilitarized zone at Ukraine’s Zaporizhzhia Plant.

Demilitarized Zones for Nuclear Power Plants

“Why should we implement demilitarized zones for nuclear power plants during wartime?”

Infrastructure is usually damaged during wartime. Energy generators are no exception. But when it’s a nuclear power plant that’s under threat, it could lead to a disaster that won’t subside for millennia. This can be prevented by implementing Demilitarized Zones for Nuclear Power Plants, in other words, an area around nuclear power plants that is prohibited for any military use.

“Why are nuclear reactors more susceptible to destruction when under military occupation?”

Nuclear reactors require careful surroundings to maintain stability. If they come under military occupation, then not only is this paradigm disrupted, but the occupying army might sabotage it as a war crime. This is Why Nuclear Reactors Are More Susceptible to Destruction Under Military Occupation.

“Why can mutual support networks help communities facing climate displacement build capacity?”

Communities worldwide are facing displacement because of climate change, whether it be Indigenous villages in Alaska or Bangladeshi coastal towns. Knowledge about smoother ways to relocate can be hard to find and is not typically communicated between communities undergoing the process. Mutual support networks can fill this gap. Mutual support networks are platforms that allow communities to find each other and share knowledge. By obtaining best practices and procedural know-how, communities will become more prepared to make their move. This is Why Mutual Support Networks Help Communities Facing Climate Displacement Build Capacity.
