In our fifth episode of our Innovation in Infrastructure podcast series, QIC's Matt David chats with the Port of Brisbane's Head of Sustainability, Craig Wilson, and Manager Port Operations, Damien Garske about a pioneering vessel management system to reduce the port's emissions – aptly named ‘Project Green Button'. This innovative trial technology has been developed by Port of Brisbane in collaboration with Seaport OPX to reduce scope 3 carbon emissions through efficient vessel operation. Like many ports, at the Port of Brisbane more than 50 per cent of its scope 3 emissions are comprised of shipping emissions from the movement of over 2,800 commercial vessels annually through its nearly 90km shipping channel. The Port of Brisbane and DHI Seaport (Seaport OPX) recently won the Environmental Award at the Daily Cargo News 2024 Australia Shipping & Maritime Industry Awards for this innovation. Listen to the podcast to find out the remarkable results during the trial phase and the strong support it's receiving.

Max Thaysen/ Cortes Currents - This January, at the Friends of Cortes Island Annual General Meeting, Bruce Harrison was awarded the Jo Anne Green Environmental Award. The Jo Anne Green award is an honour for leadership in community-based environmental awareness, protection and restoration. Jo Anne Green was a founder of the Friends of Cortes Island and an inspiration for many on Cortes to care for this place and imagine a reciprocal relationship with our ecosystems. The letter that nominates Harrison reads as follows: “ Bruce has been a resident of Cortes Island for about 30 years. He has always exemplified what it means to have a small footprint in terms of his own lifestyle (he is often seen commuting on his bike between Whaletown and Manson's) and over the past few years he has made significant contributions through the work he has done constructing and maintaining access trails which are now widely used by the community. His work on the trails at the Ester Rd. beach access, the Whaletown Commons, and the adjacent Crown land have all been a great benefit to the wider community and in fact have helped to secure the Crown land as protected park land. The trail access in the Whaletown Commons area has made Whaletown into a very walkable neighbourhood which has significantly decreased the need for motorized vehicles.

Roy L Hales/ Cortes Currents - Roadside, one of the last remaining Forest Defender camps at Fairy Creek, officially closed down yesterday. In the end, it was severe weather rather than police actions that brought this about. An unknown number of Indigenous folks remain at a nearby watch camp. The last RCMP press release, posted on Lake Cowichan detachment page more than a month ago (on December 2nd), states 1,188 people have been arrested as they attempted to protect what is sometimes called the last remaining intact old growth ecosystem outside of a park. According to a Vancouver SUN expose, as of November 30th the RCMP spent $8.9 million opposing the protest. The Teal-Jones Group claims that activists put hundreds of jobs at risk and hampered it accessing $10 million worth of timber. On December 22nd, two days before the recent cold snap began, the occupants of Roadside posted a collection of video messages on their Facebook page in which: A schoolteacher explained why she feels she would not be doing her job as a teacher or a mother if she did join the protest at Fairy Creek A former loader describes the province's current logging practises as “just grabbing resources at the expense of the other peoples.” Another Forest Defender says, “I'm here because these blockades are the only thing keeping the NDP and John Horgan accountable to protecting old growth for us and committing the promises they made to the strategic old growth review report.” A series of posts on the Fairy Creek Facebook page chronicle the camp's closure: The photos from January 3rd show camp life: tents in the snow, people chopping wood, a truck that spun off the icy road Four days later a tree came crashing down beside the kitchen tent. The camp spokesperson wrote, “Snow, ice, and hazardous conditions slam Fairy Creek. As the rivers rise, the threat of flooding is imminent.” Yesterday, January 10th, pictures showing the last remaining inhabitants of Roadside packing their belongs into a U-Haul and close to a dozen other vehicles were added. The spokesperson wrote: “As we close up Roadside and start a new chapter, we reflect back on the year we've had. When we looked up at the towering cedars, spruce, and fir it gave us purpose in knowing that we protected what Elder Bill Jones refers to as our “Great Mother.” We sat in circles and ceremonies in reverence of their beauty as he reminded us that these places have always been meant for meditation and prayer. His grandfather once told him these forests should never be cut - in fact, it was his dying wish.” He added, “While it may no longer be logistically possible to block logging in such awful winter conditions, we choose to see an opportunity here. This ending also means the beginning of a new chapter – one that includes more local actions, in a city near you. The spring will bring new life; it always does. STAY TUNED FOR WHAT'S NEXT.” As Cortes Currents was completing this story, word came that the Wilderness Committee named Elder Bill Jones as this year's recipient of the Eugene Rogers award. Torrance Coste of the Wilderness Committee explained, “Pacheedaht Elder Bill Jones has been a friend of our organization for almost a decade and a champion for old growth forests for much longer.” The 80-year-old former logger responded, “ I am so flattered to accept this. It's a blessing to us all to realize that we are indeed the servants and protectors of our great mother.”

It’s time to be positive about beating Climate Change according to Prince William, the Duke of Cambridge. His upbeat tone struck a chord with Cityzenith CEO Michael Jansen, whose company has just pledged free aid to fight greenhouse gas emissions from cities – the world’s biggest contributors to Climate Change. The Prince has launched his £50 million ‘Earthshot’ environmental award, backed by major global figures such as naturalist and broadcaster Sir David Attenborough and media stars Cate Blanchett and Shakira, to encourage innovation in the climate battle. And he now realised that galvanising people with optimism was more likely to promote action. Earthshot: Looking to unite and galvanise “There has been lots of calling out and, quite rightly, saying ‘these are the problems, and this is what we’re going to face’. But there has been very little kind of, ‘well actually, we can fix this, we can provide those solutions and we can, as human beings, turn this around. The tools are there. “We have the data. So, let’s stop talking about it, collecting data, and let’s actually provide the action and I think that’s what’s going to be really needed over these next ten years.” The theme of Earthshot was taken up by Cityzenith CEO Michael Jansen: “It was great to hear Prince William, with his global influence, talk about positivity, because we really do have the tools and data to change rather than accept the well-worn gloom and doom narrative around climate change. “By saying it’s time to ‘stop talking’ and ‘I don’t understand why those who have the levers, don’t (use them)’ he made me feel he could really unlock doors. Earthshot: Looking to challenge leadership The world’s inability to deliver a coordinated response to the persistent degradation of the planet is a testament to the failure of political leadership around this issue at many levels. Leaders need to get educated and understand that the tools and standards exist, as does the methodology, to push forward with a massive global climate resilience program that would fundamentally restructure and make more sustainable economies all over the world. “We too aim to reach the ‘movers and shakers’ who can work those levers: the Prince’s Earthshot scheme coincides with our Clean Cities – Clean Future TV ad campaign at Cityzenith and pledge to offer our SmartWorldPro Digital Twin 3D modelling tech for free to cities to help drive down their carbon emissions. “For a long time, the automobile has been the preferred scapegoat for crimes against the environment while the biggest villain, our cities, has hidden in plain sight. “The evidence has stacked up against cities: United Nations stats show cities produce more than 70%* of the Earth’s greenhouse gases and influencers like the Prince can reach governments and city fathers looking to transition them from ‘smog generators’ to clean cities.” “We have over the last decade evolved and matured our Digital Twin platform technology to serve the needs of advanced, sophisticated, large-scale real estate and infrastructure projects around the world. Some of those include the new Orlando Sports + Entertainment District, the East-West Rail high-speed bullet train project in the UK, and the new Greenfield city of Amravati in India design by Sir Norman Foster. We’ve been helping our clients reduce carbon emissions and set on a path towards carbon neutrality. It’s now time to unveil this technology to cities, and let them run with it to help their local building owner reduce their carbon emissions and become more sustainable.” We just need more doors unlocked at the top,” said Jansen. “Prince William has made a great start.” More about Irish Tech News and Business Showcase here.

As science standards across the country improve to include middle school standards on evolution, more and more teachers are teaching evolution for the first time and the battle to teach sound science moves into the individual classrooms themselves. The Teacher Institute for Evolutionary Science (TIES) is a program of the Center for Inquiry. TIES seeks to helps teachers teach evolution by providing them with the content and resources to do so effectively. In just three and a half years, TIES has grown from a powerful idea shared by Richard Dawkins and Bertha Vazquez to a network of over fifty teachers who have presented over 100 professional development workshops in over 40 states. TIES Director Bertha Vazquez has been teaching middle school science in Miami-Dade County Public Schools for 27 years. An educator with National Board Certification, she is the recipient of several national and local honors, including the 2014 Samsung’s $150,000 Solve For Tomorrow Contest and the $5,000 Charles C. Bartlett National Excellence in Environmental Award in 2009. Bertha sits down with one of Point of Inquiry's new hosts, Jim Underdown, to talk about her experiences with teaching science and evolution in the classroom, meeting Richard Dawkins, and her favorite TIES moment.

This is the Q&A portion of the talk. The full talk is available in the previous podcast.   Jeanne M. VanBriesen Professor of Civil and Environmental EngineeringCarnegie Mellon University         Rain, Rivers, and Resources: How Watersheds Change Drinking Water     How do everyday choices impact the water supply? Carnegie Mellon University professor and Carnegie Science Award winner Dr. Jeanne M. VanBriesen will discuss her research in ““Rain, Rivers, and Resources: How Watersheds Change Drinking Water” on Monday, Nov. 9, from 7 – 9 pm, at Carnegie Science Center.   Rivers teem with fish and plants, offer a space for recreation, and provide the source of the water we drink. Rain water, on its way to rivers, runs across watersheds. Watersheds are land surfaces that house activities such as mining, farming, producing electricity, and building homes. These activities pose a challenge to maintaining high quality water for ecosystems, recreation, and potable water supply. VanBriesen will talk about engineering systems that manage the quality and quantity of water resources. She’ll discuss how the choices people make around energy resources in our watersheds affect the options to treat drinking water.   VanBriesen, who serves on the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Science Advisory Board, is the Duquesne Light Company Professor of Civil and Environmental Engineering at Carnegie Mellon University. Her research is in environmental systems, including detection of biological agents in water systems and impacts of energy extraction.    She earned her bachelor’s degree in education and her master’s and doctorate degrees in civil engineering from Northwestern University. She is a licensed professional engineer in the state of Delaware and has served on the board of the Association for Environmental Engineering and Science Professors. Earlier this year, VanBriesen was awarded the Environmental Award in the Carnegie Science Awards program for her water quality research.   Recorded Monday, November 9, 2015 at Carnegie Science Center in Pittsburgh, PA.
