Eco-city Development: Planning a Sustainable Community
2008-06-23 09:53:00
"Unlike biological communities, cities constitute a kind of artificial ecosystem dominated by human activities, sustained by natural life-support systems, and vitalized by ecological processes. The concept was introduced by Ma and Wang a Social-Economic-Natural Complex Ecosystem (SENCE) (4). The natural subsystem of the eco-city consists of the 5 traditional Chinese elements: metal (minerals), wood (living organisms), water, fire (energy), and soil (nutrients and land). Its economic subsystem includes the components of production, consumption, reduction, transportation, and regulation; while its social subsystem includes technology, institutions, and culture. Urban sustainability can only be ensured by human ecological understanding of the complex interactions between environmental, economic, political, and social/cultural factors and with careful planning and management based on ecological principles.An eco-city is an ecologically healthy city. It is a healthy human ecological proc...
Sustainable beer from Colorado
2008-06-06 11:14:00
How does a brewery become sustainable? The nature of the business places heavy demands on natural resources, so it’s one of the more difficult green challenges. In this video from the Sustainable Brands conference in Monterey, Greg Owsley of the New Belgium Brewery in Colorado talks about the company’s commitment to becoming more sustainable, and the insights gained from an environmental life cycle analysis of one of its beers, Fat Tire. Greg’s entertaining presentation at the conference was one of the most talked about events during the week. Another Green Wolfie will be posting her impressions of that a little later. You can read more about New Belgium’s sustainability initiatives here. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-9ouum2HUWrs

Leng Beng says Singapore real estate market sustainable CityDev boss sees further investment opportunities ahead By EMILYN YAP   HOTEL and property tycoon Kwek Leng Beng believes Singapore’s real estate market is sustainable and further investment opportunities lie ahead. ‘I am also waiting for the opportunity … to go in and buy at the right time,’ he said at a property conference yesterday. The executive chairman of City Developments said growth in Macau’s gaming industry had driven up residential property prices there sharply. And with two integrated resorts and big events such as the Youth Olympics in the next few years, Mr Kwek reckons the future is bright for Singapore real estate. According to country head of Jones Lang LaSalle Singapore Christopher Fossick, the current slowdown in property demand is largely sentiment-driven, and many investors are probably waiting to purchase at better prices. In terms of office space, Mr Kwek said: ‘Ther...
