Environmental damage caused by economic activities like coal plant electrical generation and mining is costing the global economy as much as US$4.7 trillion a year. That is what is revealed in a report released on 15 April and commissioned by the Group of Eight economic powers and the United Nation's Environmental Programme.

The New Madrid Floodway The USACE has built thousands of miles of flood control levees on the Mississippi River. It has also built a few floodways-areas where the USACE diverts floodwaters to take pressure off of its levees. Shaded in red here is the New Madrid Floodway. The levees that surround the floodway, shown in red, are 60 feet high and totally surround the New Madrid Floodway, except for a quarter-mile gap at New Madrid. This quarter mile gap is the yellow "Outflow" line on the map. The most controversial element of the St. Johns Bayou New Madrid Floodway Project is a new proposed levee, come to be known as the New Madrid Levee, to close that quarter-mile gap.

Phytase can be relatively cheaply and easily produced and added to poultry feed, but that solves only one aspect of the problem. "Another anti-nutritive factor found in cereal grains used in broiler diets include the presence of non-starch polysaccharides - NSP, which are fibrous material found in plant cell walls," Lee said. "Chickens lack the digestive capacity of ruminant animals and the presence of NSP in the diet increases intestinal viscosity resulting in decreased digestibility of the diet." Fortunately, according to Lee, another enzyme, carbohydrase, can help increase Digestibility of high fiber broiler diets. Both enzymes need be added at low rates, typically from 0.25 to 1 pound per ton of feed. But a question remained: Which strains of the two enzymes were best combinations for chicken health and feed conversion efficiency? To determine this, Lee has been conducting studies comparing how multiple levels of phytase affects the bio-availability of phytate with and without non-starch polysaccharides. The feed tested was a combination of corn and soybean meal with added vitamins and micronutrients - a standard poultry ration. The relationship between the effects of the two enzymes turned out to be more complicated than expected. Non-starch polysaccharides increased the bioavailability of phosphorus but at only one of the three levels of phytase concentrations tested. The results of his study will give commercial poultry producer's information they need to fine-tune feed mixture to reduce phosphorus runoff from chicken litter without endangering flock health, Lee said.

So what if this mobile information were coupled with information on how our legislators were voting, on critical issues, and how their votes had the power to impact, either positively or negatively, the environmental data that was scrolling across our screens? What if the data tracked our lifestyle choice-including having children-and told us both the immediate and likely future impact of those choices on the environment, ten, fifteen, and twenty years in the future? Now that might just have the chance of bringing about powerful behavioral change. Related Link: https://foursquare.com/p/crown-capital-eco-management-indonesia-fraud/39015570

The study found that while the environmental impact of making electric vehicles is greater than for making gas and diesel vehicles, this is more than made up for by the greater impact of gas and diesel vehicles while they're being used. This is true in terms of total energy consumption, use of resources, greenhouse gases, and ozone pollution. The electric vehicles were assumed to be charged from a grid that includes significant amounts of fossil fuels. (Other studies show that electric vehicles beat gas-powered ones in terms of greenhouse gas emissions even if they're charged in regions that depend heavily on coal. Here's one such study. In some areas, hybrids are a better choice than electric cars.) Electric vehicles come out behind in two areas. They contribute slightly more to acid rain. And they're slightly worse in terms of causing algae blooms than gasoline cars (but better than diesel). Related Article: http://www.linkedin.com/groups/Blog-Crown-Capital-Management-Jakarta-4663261

The link between environmental justice and sustainability Our strategic business planning has benefitted from these dialogues. Environmental justice advocates early on urged business and industry to stop wasting assets and focus on waste reduction and recycling, not just simple disposal. Over the past twenty years, we've seen our customers join that chorus asking for better recycling solutions, and recycling and innovation in waste disposal reduction has become an increasing proportion of Waste Management's business. By the time we published our 2012 sustainability report, we were able to show that operations associated with recycling and production of renewable and alternative energy increased from 49 percent in 2007 to 57 percent in 2011. In 2011, traditional landfills represented only 13 percent of our total non-collection revenues, with recycling by far the largest element (47 percent). This evolution in business focus reflects the importance of sustainability as a business model for our sector - and for any other. Customers seeking environmental services want to be able to demonstrate concrete environmental benefits and resource conservation. Communities know that a sustainable business operates as a good and respectful neighbor. Environmental justice must be a core element of any company's social responsibility initiatives.

Ruan took cyber security as an example, saying both China and the United States are trying to turn common challenges of cyber security into an area of cooperation. At this summit, Xi told Obama that cyber security should be a new highlight of bilateral cooperation instead of a source of suspicion and friction. They agreed to strengthen dialogue, coordination and cooperation through the already-established cyber working group. Analysts said the Xi-Obama summit was not aimed at solving specific problems between the two countries. "Their summit did show the world a clear signal from both countries to build trust and manage disputes, thus taking a step further toward redefining the world's most important bilateral relationship," Jin said.

On a typical day, you'll find me crawling out of bed on a minimal amount of sleep. The rest of my morning routine involves downing a litre of coffee before noon in attempts to ramp up my productivity for the rest of the day. I guess it's pretty clear that I lead anything but a relaxed lifestyle. I don't start my morning with green tea and yoga, and I don't blend chia seeds into a kale smoothie. Like most people, I face a jam-packed schedule, and although I'd love to be green in terms of both the environment and a Zen-mindset, I haven't mastered either yet.

Life Settlements became more sophisticated as actuarial techniques and advanced financial analysis were implemented during the underwriting process. The senior population has redefined the life insurance settlement industry, expanding the industry into a multi-billion dollar market. The industry today is almost entirely comprised of a few mainstream capital sources that have revolutionized the speed and scale of the secondary insurance market. The industry has also become more specialized with seniors working with financial advisors, brokers and a number of ancillary and service providers. Life Settlements are potentially very profitable because the purchaser acquires a policy at a discount from the face value, which is based on the insured person's life expectancy and the purchaser's desired return on capital. The potential rates of return can be in excess of 12-15% SOURCE LINK: http://crownalliancecapital.com/life-settlement/

http://crownalliancecapital.com/faq/ Frequently asked questions and answers regarding Life Settlements and investing with Crown Alliance Capital. What are some of the reasons a person sells their policy? Most people acquire life insurance early in their careers as a means of protecting their income and family in the event of an unexpected event.

David Nussbaum, Chief Executive of WWF UK, echoed these sentiments, saying: "The green economy has… bucked the trend of the recession and is the UK's strongest growth sector. But these areas all need support, and mainstream politicians from each of the parties have failed to show visible and consistent leadership on the environment. "Given that our leaders recognise that we're in a global race to develop environmentally sustainable economies, it's in their interest to show environmental leadership."

Gadjah Mada University Rector Pratikno also called for diplomacy and justice in Syria. "We expect that good diplomacy will end the conflict in Syria. The situation in Syria and the usage of chemical weapons, which have been killing thousands of innocent people and children, is now becoming the world's concern. Whoever is responsible must face international justice," he told Khabar in a phone interview. "We hope the call for peace will be responded to appropriately by the Syrian government," he added. Impact on Indonesia Budianto Ridwan, a graduate student at Gadjah Mada University, said the Syrian conflict could have some ill effects on Indonesia. "The conflict in Syria can trigger a spike in oil prices in Indonesia. And if this happens, it will cause more turmoil (similar to) what happened last March," Budianto said, referring to violent street protests over proposed price hikes. He said that even though the political and economic situations in Indonesia are improving, the price of oil is always a sensitive issue. Moreover, the return of Indonesian workers from Syria will impact the economy. "Our growth has reached 6% this year. Our migrant workers, including those who work in Syria, are contributing to this growth. Therefore, we hope a good diplomatic approach will solve the problem in Syria," he said. Abdullah Rauf, an Islamic cleric in Sleman, Yogyakarta, condemned the violence in Syria. "The situation in Syria, it has nothing to do with Islamic teachings. I think it is purely violence. There is no way Islam teaches killing people massively by using chemical weapons," he said. "I don't know much about the politics in Syria, but I do know that killing is not jihad and is not Islamic.

Transportation is responsible for 27 percent of U.S. greenhouse gas emissions; residential and commercial buildings contribute 18 percent and 17 percent, respectively. The report concludes by describing ways to reduce such effects. Strategies include safeguarding sensitive areas; focusing development in built-up areas and around existing transit stations; building compact; mixed-use developments; designing streets that are safe for all users, including walkers and bikers; and using green building techniques. Through the federal Partnership for Sustainable Communities, EPA, HUD, and DOT coordinate federal investments in infrastructure, facilities, and services to get better results for communities and use taxpayer money more efficiently. Perciasepe, Jones, and Porcari held the town hall to commemorate the fourth anniversary of the HUD-DOT-EPA Partnership for Sustainable Communities and talk with communities about how the federal government can be of assistance.

http://the-crown-management.blogspot.com/ BEIJING, June 9 (Xinhua) -- Chinese analysts on Sunday hailed the latest China-U.S. commitment to build a new type of relationship between big powers that features engagement and cooperation over conflict and confrontation. At a seminar on China-U.S. relations on Sunday, head of the Institute of International Studies Qu Xing said, "The debut summit between the two presidents set the tone for China-U.S. relations over the next four to ten years." The summit refers to the two days of talks between Chinese President Xi Jinping and U.S. President Barack Obama in California, during which both presidents increased mutual trust, reached consensus on an array of issues and mapped out a blueprint for China-U.S. ties. The summit, including two talks, one walk and one dinner, is the first face-to-face meeting between the presidents of China and the United States since the two countries completed their latest leadership transitions. During the summit, Xi summarized the concept of a new type of relations between the two nations in three phrases -- "no conflict and no confrontation," "mutual respect" and "cooperation toward win-win results." In an effort to promote mutual understanding and trust, Xi and Obama agreed to boost dialogue and communication at all levels. Xi invited Obama to visit China. The Chinese defense and foreign ministers will visit the United States in the future. The China-U.S. Strategic and Economic Dialogue is scheduled to be held in July in Washington. "The summit, which is historic and strategic, reached its goal and charted the path for bilateral relations," said Jin Canrong, deputy head of International Studies College of China's Renmin University. "Specifically speaking, both sides agreed to avoid conflicts, step up engagement and deepen cooperation." In contrast to the old type of relations which feature conflicts between established countries and rising powers, the new model of relations between big p

http://crowncapitalmngt.newsvine.com/ The German renewable energy policy will change as the country's energy infrastructure is under huge strain. The German Chancellor Angela Merkel announced her aim to curb the renewable energy subsidies so that it can afford to upgrade the power grid and lower the pressure on the rising electricity prices. According to the Associated Press, Merkel announced today a U turn in the German renewable energy policy as she announced that those installing new solar, wind or biomass power sources must "participate more in financing the cost of (electricity) grid expansion." At this point we should emphasise that in 2012, the power exports in Germany recorder the best four year performance in 2012, mainly due to the robust renewable energy industry. According to the German Federal Statistics Office (Destatis), Germany exported 66.6 terawatt hours (TWh) of electrical power. The success of the German renewable energy policy was challenged by the industry association for large corporate and industrial users in Germany, VIK. The industry association had stressed that wind and solar utilities frequently generated electricity when there was no immediate demand and that eco-friendly power was pushing gas-driven plants out of the market, although these were still needed when there wasn't any wind or solar sources. Today, Merkel announced that the expansion in renewable energy must be brought in line with that of the German grid, vowing to overhaul subsidies that total €18 billion annually after elections in September. Apart from the energy grid problems, the German magazine Spiegel had reported that the German renewable energy policy didn't foresee the upcoming cost explosion. It is well known, that solar and wind farms are a long way from being able to produce energy at prices similar to coal-fired or nuclear power plants. Moreover, there are also high costs associated with grid expansion and electricity storage facilities as we

Crown Capital Eco Management Crown Capital Eco Management works with government bodies, international entities, private sectors and other non-governmental organizations in providing extensive information to the public, media and policymakers that are involved in addressing environmental issues and sustainable initiatives in a worldwide scale. Though our group does not personally conduct research, we analyze and review both recent and old data on technical and socio-economic sectors that are relevant to our field, which is environment preservation. We are composed of volunteer professionals in the scientific sector, supported by various agencies around the world. Our group is an independent organization supporting programs involving climate change, biodiversity, organic pollutants and greenhouse gases, to name a few.

Independence Although Crown cooperates with various organizations, we maintain our being an independent body, free from control of any particular government, state or institution and unimpaired by their own respective interests. Public Awareness Educating and enlisting the public to secure and maintain the quality of our natural resources is one of our priorities. We believe that by having well-informed and knowledgeable people, especially in the government sector will make it possible to maximize the benefit of existing legislation, and creating more, in order to preserve our e nvironment. Sustainability A long-term responsibility of preserving resources for future generations that cover economic and environmental factors. Sustainability enables the environment to be productive and diverse enough to host humanity along with other living organism through effectively managing human impact on the ecosystem based on information provided experts. Taking steps towards sustainability is a difficult challenge as it entails international and local law, individual lifestyles and urban planning. Measures should be implemented on re-evaluating work practices, altering general living conditions and making new technologies in order for a sustainability goal to be accomplished. Accountability Crown Capital Eco Management also aims to raise awareness of our society getting trapped in progress with only the short-term concerns in mind for failure to protect and conserve our natural resources could lead to irreversible consequences not only in the future civilization but to the whole ecosystem itself. Along with the recognition that the environment is needed for us to survive is the realization that we must answer for its sustainability and be responsible for managing the great resources we are entrusted with. Independence Our group strives to make every sector of our society, especially the public, recognize the need for transparency in what is and will be happening to

Featuring an authoritative source of legislation across the world that deals with environment preservation through promulgating policies on sanctions, regulations, authorizations and restrictions on natural resources. Asia Asian legislation concerning the environment largely varies due to the wide gaps in local customs that could become challenges, leading them to agree on standard procedures and strengthen ties among each neighboring nation. Regulations also highlights the need for dedicated agencies in each country that will handle emergency scenarios with the notable frequency of natural disasteres in the region as well as issues of climate change. The need for humanitarian organizations for more effective deployment and better coordination with the authorities in conducting relief activities is also included. US United States has specific legislations for each facet of the environment in place that : - limits air pollutants by monitoring emissions of factories and utility plants. - leads probes in discharges of hazardous chemicals or oil and proper cleanup. - closely monitoring pesticides for its possible effects in nature and on people. - manages the distribution and manufacture of chemicals to ensure that their exposure will not cause harm to the environment. - regulates the commercial and individual production of hazardous wastes as well as its proper disposal. - implements clean and safe drinking water policies in conjunction with local water treatment plants and preventing pollution. European Union Europe's environment legislations mainly deal with climate change and the subsequent decrease in biological diversity as socio- economic developments are inevitably dependent on those. Their regulations seek to protect and value life diversity for the coming generations by monitoring its implementation closely.

With emerging renewable energy alternatives today, it is highly important that they be given enough attention even early on their developmental stages. Such technologies might not be ready for commercial uses yet but their potential should be amply tested and funded. Society's modern lifestyle is in serious need of energy that can be generated and consumed and yet, not compromise the future state for generations to come; to have no anxiety that it would cause damage to the environment. Green energy could come from such sources available in our environment that are naturally replenished and efficient like tides, wind, sunlight and geothermal heat. It is very different from low-carbon energy as the former does not add to the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere at all, thus, coming with minimal environmental harm and greenhouse gas. Concerns in climate change and increasing oil prices are some of the contributing factors in drawing the spotlight to renewable energy and its potential for commercialization. Green energy can effectively replace our conventional fuel of today in all its main uses, which are in heating, vehicle fuel and electricity generation sectors. In fact, 19% of the electricity generated around the world today comes from renewable sources. Furthermore, since the emergence of biofuels in the United States 6 years ago, consumption of conventional oil has decreased significantly. For a green energy resource or technology to be sustainable, it has to give the maximum environmental advantage while still serving its purpose.
