Washington Climate Jobs Roadmap

[Excerpt] Just as Washington State has led on climate in the past, the Evergreen State can chart a new path forward that merges WA’s climate, jobs, and equity goals. Such work calls for initiatives that deliver the greatest emission reduction, the most high-quality jobs, and a fair and inclusive economy. The recommendations in this report are designed to meet these aims. The Climate Jobs program described herein demonstrates how Washington State can pursue climate programs that are ambitious, retain and create good jobs for residents, and help build an equitable and inclusive clean energy economy and workforce

THE DISCONNECT BETWEEN YOUNG ADULTS WITH DISABILITIES AND NYC’S PARATRANSIT SYSTEM

The paper examines the Access-a-Ride (AAR) paratransit system in New York City, which provides on-demand vehicle services to eligible customers with disabilities and health conditions. Despite a large population of individuals with reported disabilities between the ages of 18-34 in New York City, the primary AAR users are aged 61-90. Transportation is a fundamental aspect of everyday life and accessibility to transportation can greatly impact a person's ability to participate in society. People with disabilities often face barriers to accessing transportation and therefore may have limited access to education, employment, healthcare, social activities, and other opportunities. This paper analyzes the discrepancies in AAR's service ridership across young adults with disabilities and provides possible solutions and recommendations to better serve this population. The report identifies several pressure points in the system, including the eligibility criteria, funding structure, and role of different providers. The report recommends that AAR increase diversity within its internal community and reposition its approach to programming and pilot studies. The report concludes by highlighting the need for a more inclusive and equitable paratransit system that can better serve young adults with disabilities

Potential Impacts of New York State’s Food Donation and Food Scraps Recycling Law on Diet Composition, Milk Production, and Emissions in the New York Dairy Industry

Food waste accumulating in landfills has become an increasing issue in the face of global warming. Over 30% of food collects in landfills where it will decompose into methane. New York State recently passed the Food Donation and Food Scraps Recycling Law, which mandates that businesses creating over two tons of food waste per week find an alternative way to dispose of food waste to prevent it from entering landfills. Feeding food waste to livestock is one way to accomplish this. Food waste donated to dairy farms is a heterogeneous mixture consisting of fruits, vegetables, and bakery-related goods. In this study, I first aimed to examine the nutrient variability of this type of food waste. I studied key nutrients for dairy cattle nutrition including fats, sugar, starch, fiber, and crude protein. Second, I estimated milk production for diets with a 1 to 5% inclusion rate of food waste. Lastly, I evaluated the potential emission reductions when food waste was included from 1 to 5%. To determine the variability in nutritional quality of food waste, I collected three independent samples of food waste with duplicate subsamples biweekly for seven weeks and sent them to DairyOne for composition analysis. Sugar and starch were the most variable nutrients. Using CNCPS, I determined that the diet with a 5% inclusion rate was best for milk production, which produced a predicted 45.9 kg milk / day. I evaluated the potential emissions reduction of 60,000 kilograms of CH4 for every 5 million kilograms of food waste used

IMPACTS OF URBAN GREENING PROJECTS ON SURROUNDING COMMUNITIES IN MEDIUM-SIZED CITIES IN CHINA

In policies, urban greening is a win-win project that improves the living environment and prepares the city to reach decarbonization goals. In reality, what will the new green space bring to the surrounding community? This study considers these questions in the context of second-tier cities in China, specifically in two parks built in Kunming, Yunnan Province. Through various data sources such as street view images, news reports, and property transaction data, I use mixed methods to study the impact of the parks on the surrounding areas. The results show that parks had differing levels of impact on their surrounding physical environments and housing prices. The type of park and differing levels of government attention contribute to these differences in outcomes. This study helps bridge the gap of insufficient research on green space in medium-sized Chinese cities and provides a reference for subsequent urban planning strategies in Kunming City
