Share This Finding and designing practical, feasible, scalable projects to help organizations achieve climate goals This interactive, multi-disciplinary Climate Solutions Living Lab course and research project led by Clinical Professor and Director of Harvard Law School’s Emmett Environmental Law and Policy Clinic, Wendy Jacobs, focuses on studying and designing practical solutions for reducing greenhouse gas emissions at Harvard, in neighboring communities, elsewhere in United States, and abroad. The course is designed to bring together students from across the University to work on inter-disciplinary teams applying their legal, business, public policy, public health, engineering, and design training. The approaches developed will be scalable for consideration and potential adoption by other similarly-situated institutions and enterprises that want to reduce their emissions and improve public health in and around their buildings
A man has raised money for a school in the US that provides scholarships for students from an impoverished area by selling scrawny-looking Christmas trees.
Frank Pichel’s wild pine trees resemble the droopy, pitiful tree made famous in the 1965 children’s animated classic A Charlie Brown Christmas.
They have been flying off a tiny neighbourhood lot since he started selling them last month to raise money for Anna Julia Cooper Episcopal School in Richmond, Virginia.
The school was started in 2009 by parishioners and priests who wanted to help children from low-income families change their lives.
